On the hunt

So I have been MIA since late January. B and I have been on the hunt for a house. We THOUGHT we found the house that we wanted--and we did--just not for the price we would have to pay. With all of the houses that are for sale, I have decided not to give in on what we want for a house. The house we had set our eyes on was big--almost too big--for a couple with no children. I'm thinking maybe this is why couples wait to buy a house until a baby is on the way. In which case, I think they may be on to something. It scares me to think of owning a house with 2,600 square feet, when I'm not even pregnant, and don't know if we'll even be able to have a baby. There is nothing that really makes me think we won't, but after all the stories I read of couples who try for years, I don't want the added pressure of a large house that we can't fill. Also, the kitchen and the master bathroom were not up our liking, so why put out all the money when it isn't exactly what we want?
