To view short-term bf as future father of children?

[BloodFlower]

[Name change due to embarrassment]

I have known my current boyfriend for around a year. Things are going swimmingly, I can practically hear choirs of angels singing when I'm around him. The problem is that I can't stop imagining having children with him. He's fantastic around kids, and I know that if I asked him he'd jump at the chance of ttc (he's 40, I'm 27).

The rational part of me says that this is too soon in the relationship, but I was wondering if anyone else on here has had the same experience and intrusive thoughts. Is it possible to know that someone should be the future father of your children, or are my ovaries doing the talking?

Thanks in advance.

At 18 I met my dh, within a few months we got engaged. We married 13 months later and had our DD 5 months after that, so 18 months after that inital meeting..

We are celebrating our 18 years anniversary next week.

We (well I, definitely, I still cant believe my good luck) knew straight away, I turned him down at first but that didnt feel right and I kept agonising over it, I dumped my then bf and we started dating.
I know at 18 I only had a few relationshops under my belt, but they never felt "right" he did - oops, sorry, he does!

Life is too short to regret the things you dont do.
