We already adopted his grandson permanently and he is a nice 7 year old boy. I'm not even sure we should have a baby because of his age and because I have high blood pressure. What should I do?

 Babies are a blessing... and a gift.
They are also noisy and require a lotta money and work.
Assuming you didn't discuss this with your hubby before marriage, or that you changed your mind, you must decide how badly you want to have his child. It's an 18 to life sentence for the 3 of you. How much does he love you? How much do you love him? If you accidently get pregnant, will your nest be ready?

A child is a precious blessing but also a TON of responsibility and expense for the next 18 years or longer. Be sure you both are ready for this. Good luck!

 If you can get over the medical reasons, there are still other reasons why he is against having children. He's done all that already and might not feel like beginning again. As to rearing a child, he already has done that, and is doing it again; he sees no difference in that.
You, on the other hand, would want a biological child. Someone has got to give in.
