*wipes her eyes* Thank you....for reminding me the wonderful, irreplacable moments of our pregnancy. He was so excited...we both were so happy. My heart warmed and overflowed with such a deep love for him. We would sit up and talk about how we'd have the baby in our room next to us. He'd talk about how he'd slept with his other kids when they were that small....as I had my own daughter. She's 8 now. My period was late and we knew. Every day he'd gaze at me and ask, "It's happened?" with such excitement behind his eyes. I was only 2 weeks pregnant when he started rubbing my tummy before we'd go to sleep. *wipes her cheek* He's so wonderful.....still.

Happy Memories is a great idea. Finding out and having my baby to me self for 13 weeks was the best time of my life. Me and dh was so happy. Even knowing how it all ended i would not change having my baby for the time we did. I agree better to love and lose then never at all

This is the best medicine in the world. We found out about our bundle of joy on November 14th. I realized that I might be pregnancy because the smell of raw meat was making me sick ( the same thing happened both other times). I took the test and was in disbelief we were so happy that we must have called the world that night. My oldest son Bobby would kiss my belly every night and say there's a baby in your belly and I would smile and say that's your baby sister in there. Those were the best 6 weeks of my life, in fact I forgot how good life felt (morning sickness and all).

This is a good thread. I hope you don't mind me posting since I am a MAM now, but I still like to remember the happiness of my first baby.
My period was always like clockwork and we were ttc (our first month!), so when I was a day late, I just knew. But I didn't want to jinx it by taking a test. So dh and I decided that I should take a test when af was three days late. It was a Saturday morning and he had a meeting at church and I had some stuff to do there, so I didn't pee until I got to the pharmacist across the street and could buy a test. I didn't think I could hold it that long! lol So dh was in his meeting when I POAS and saw those two lines pop up almost immediately. I was shaking from the excitement and ran upstairs and took a picture of it with a digital camera. I was going to download it onto dh's computer so he would find it when he came back. Then I started to send him a text msg on his phone, but just then he came back up into the office because he had forgotten something. So I told him then and we hugged and did a little dance and I'm sure he wasn't able to think straight through the rest of his meeting. ;D
I had my precious baby with me for 9 weeks, although I found out later that he had probably died around 7 weeks... right about the time I was telling my parents. But that was a happy time, too. It was after my sister's wedding reception. Dh and I had my little brother deliver a birthday card for my dad that he was supposed to have "found" lying around while we were all cleaning up from the wedding. It was signed from the baby. I was in the bathroom when my parents were reading it and my mom came bursting in, just so excited. She could barely wait for me to get out of the stall to start hugging me and then she ran off to show all her friends the card. It was so funny. My mom is so not an expressive person, so it was great to see her get so excited.
For nine weeks I thought of nothing but my baby. Rubbed my belly, talked to him. It was beautiful. It was such a joyful time. As someone else said, even though I didn't get to keep my baby, I would never give up those nine wonderful weeks to spare myself the pain of losing him.

Today is April 7, 2006- A year ago today I got my BFP. I couldn't believe it. I went to pick dh up from work and he was like, "you need to test, you're pregnant." I then told him there was no way b/c I had just stopped temping and there was no way we timed it right THIS soon. He made me go get a cheapy test at the dollar tree. I came home took the test, set it on the counter, washed my hands and jsut that quick the pink line showed up...it was POSITIVE! Such a beauitful, happy memory that I will never forget as ong as I live. I will never forget that feeling of happiness, love, joy and fear (yes, I said fear, this was my first pg) overwhelming me all at the same time. It was the greatest feeling ever. And now, a year down the road, although I sit with empty arms, that thought still brings a warm smile to my heart.

I love this thread! I remember the the first time I was ever pg as being the happiest because I was so very innocent about loss. I mean I knew about miscarriage but never associated it with myself. I think this is very common. Anyway when we first ttc we did it on the very first cycle. That surprised even me...lol. I remember I started testing like 3 or 4 days before my af was due because I'm impatient like that. Lol. Finally it was the *day of missed period*...I POAS in the morn before work and left the bathroom for a couple minutes...went back in with dh following right behind like a pup...lol. 2 lines!!! The 2nd line was a little light but very much there. I said "Oh my God! I'm pregnant!" Lol. My dh picked me up and hugged me...and we thought it was so easy...everything. Getting pregnant...having a baby...we felt no fear that in 9 months we would have a newborn. I remember we both really wanted to skip work but couldn't...we managed to get out early. We went to the store and bought a bunch of healthy foods and some pre-natal vitamins...I wanted to do my best to take care of baby from day 1. We told everyone right away...I'm glad we did it that way now because if we had used the 3 month rule there never would've been a time that we would've been able to share our joy. That's the best memory I have...just that sublime joy and innocence of the first time. I think about it still and it brings a smile to my face.

Cristal I needed this, the day before my angel day and I get to think all about the happy times...well my most happy time would be when my DH and I went into the Dr's office after having some complications with the pregnancy..this was the 6week into it all...and we were having some issues...but before the Dr. talked of anything negative she sent me to US where we confirmed yesssss we were still pregnant and the baby's heartbeat was beating away...I just remember tearing up and smiling and the US Tech tearing up too...along with my DH who wanted to know what is this and that and is baby growing normally..well I was 6weeks for crying out loud and in my glory...I sure will be glad when those moments of glory come again...I want to be a mom so bad...so I pray at night that God will heal my heart and womb and bring on more miracles.
Thanx again Cristal..and everyone else for sharing those wonderful times...

I was only 1 day late but we had been trying to concieve. I took 2 tests both positive, I couldn' t believe it happened so fast. My daughter was so filled with joy in her eyes, " Mommy has a baby in her belly". We would ask her do want a brother or a sister. She wasn't sure yet but was going to give up her playroom for the babys new room. 1 week of joy I will always remember.
Thankyou for making me think of the joy that we experienced and forget about the sadness for just a moment.

As I was reading these I started smiling. And it does make me smile to remember the joys while I was pregnant. Here's my story.....
My husband and I had just moved into our first "owned" home. We had rented for years and were so excited to have our own place we could do whatever we wanted with. Our wedding was set for just a few weeks away and we had so much to look forward to. The week before my bachelorette party I started to feel really crampy and thought it was my period (sorry all- I am new here and don't know the abbreviations yet!) My period was due so I thought nothing of it. The whole week went by and finally on Friday I bought a pregnancy test. My best friend from Boston was coming in that day for my bachelorette weekend. We went to a diner after work and I took the test in the diner bathroom! I just couldn't wait! We were like 10 year old giggling girls- exclaiming "oh my God's!" and "I can't believe it!" in the bathroom stall together. Needless to say I cancelled all parties for that weekend but it was worth it. I was pregnant.
I told my husband as soon as we got back from the diner. He cried and cried and cried. He was so happy. From that moment on we didn't care about the house, the wedding or our honeymoon. We just wanted to talk about the baby and how happy we were.
My sister found out she was pregnant just a couple weeks after me. At the time we thought it was a miracle- a wonderful thing.
The 10 weeks I carried that bundle were the best of my life. And nothing- not even my own wedding day- gave me more joy.
