Well.. I guess my post is a little different because most of you remember the day you found out you were pregnant... I knew from the very beginning that I was expecting, and I think I was more nervous than excited.. although I loved the angel growing inside with all my heart.
I think my happiest memory was actually a few weeks ago.. I was talking to Jo, about who knows what (because I'm a nut).. but it was the Saturday before Mother's Day and all week I had been really upset. When all the sudden I became inspired, I started thinking about Harmony and how my life had changed, how my heart had changed, how I look at things now that I know what it's like to be a mother, and all the sudden I told Jo, you know tomorrow I've made up in my mind to celebrate the heart my angel brought me.
Of all the wonderful things in the world I believe this is the best. Harmony graced me with her presence for such a short time, and then went on to Heaven, but while she was nestled inside me she wrapped her fingers around my heart and managed to forever change who I was. For that, I will forever be grateful to my precious little girl.

Remembering when I found out I was pregnant brings tears to my eyes! I had stopped taking bc in Feb when my dh and I went to Maui. We didnt start to try to have a baby until May. My that I did have in the beginning of May was all messed up and was 6 weeks instead of 4 weeks. So when I was late the next month I didnt think anything of it. So I waited and started taking tests all the time. One day I took on at work and threw it away because it showed negative. For some odd reason I thought I should go back and look at it later on. It was positive. I called me dh and he went to the store and bought me another one. I took that one and it was positive too! We were so excited. There was always something in the back of my mind that was telling me not to get to excitted. I think I might of known that it was going to happen, but for the few weeks that I knew I was the happiest person around! Someday I will feel that way again!

I remember the day after I found out I was pg I was at lunch with my best friend and we were talking about how exciting it was that I was gonna have a baby. She was telling me all of her over the top ideas for my baby shower and reading the most awful names to me out of the phone book as "possibilities" for what I could name the baby. The night before when I told my bf he was totally speechless, he just held my hand and hugged and kissed me and told me how much he loved me. That night as we were going to sleep he put his hand on my stomach and kissed my forehead. Those are the good memories I have and they make me smile to remember them.

I am happy feeling your good memories, right now that is not how I feel................I feel so much sadness today because I loved my baby and hub loved baby................but meeting in the middle seems to be a distant memory.
We lost each other when Roman died...it became too hard to see what each other felt a competiton on how one felt more hurt than the other. Yet in reality we are still hurting so much but hurting each other.

I would like to post here. I had been waiting 12 years to get pg again. Seven years of that with my new hubby. I was so excited. I could not believe that after all this time we were going to have a baby. DH was not quite as happy as shocked but he put on a great face. He immediatley decided we were broke for the rest of our lives.LOL I told him God never gives us more than we can handle. (Although at this moment I feel like this is more than I want to handle) I started off this pregnancy shaky then it improved only to end badly. I am looking forward to TTC.

AF was due on 7/3. When she didn't show up I really didn't think anything about it. For the 1st time ever I wrote on the calendar when she was due. When on 7/4 she still hadn't arrived I was getting a little curious. During lunch I hesitated to tell my DH about it because I felt I was being foolish to even think that we were pg. (LS short years earlier (and another husband ago!) I basically found out that I wasn't going to get pg without some medical intervention.
On the way home we stopped at the store and bought a double test kit. I wanted to buy the cheapo one but my DH husband convinced me that this wasn't the time to worry about money. I new it was going to be negative and was discouraged to be wasting the $14.
We got home and took the test immediately. I walked in the livingroom and said "honey you might want to check this out because it looks positive!". I couldn't belive it!! We waited about an hour and did the other test. BFP also. We were stunned!!
Still not quite believing it because of the whole plus minus thing I wanted to go to the store to get a digital one. We got home and instantly did the test and magically the word pregnant showed up. Unreal!!
We were making plans. Our family was now three. Our overwhelming joy lasted for 2 weeks.
This post was a great idea.

I remember going for an ultrasound to determine our due date, valentine's day 2007. I was 5w,6d along. As soon as I saw that little heart fluttering away I was in love, as in love as I was when I saw my first two children's heartbeats on an u/s. The next three weeks went along as normal, planning for our baby and the best Valentine's Day gift ever One month ago today I lost my baby with no warning. I spotted a bit for the morning. I went for another ultrasound the same dayand it showed my baby at 5w, 6d w/ no heartbeat. I went home and the next morning baby was gone. No pain, one cramp... and my baby was gone. Emotionally, today is very hard for me, but coming here has been good for my aching heart... Jamie Kyan Dominiq is the name we gave our baby, it means "irreplaceable little one, belongs to God". I am blessed to have had Jamie in my life for such a short time, but it was real. I am happy when I remember my Jamie

Perhaps yesterday wasn't such a good day to be on the happy memories page. I mean, I was thinking of the joy my Jamie brought to my life and I was hurting and feeling very raw again, all of a sudden. Today is better and I am thinking of the nights I went to bed with my arms wrapped tightly around my waist, hugging my baby and trying to pass on the love I was feeling in my heart. I just read that another lady's baby was with her for only a short time, but wrapped her little hands so tightly around her heart... my baby did too. That's exactly it! My husband was so excited when I told him we had made our little Leah a middle child. What a surprise it was! A wonderful, exciting surprise! We loved every second with Jamie

I am so happy to have found this website, you ladies dont even know! I have just found out yesterday that my baby of 13wks has passed and can honestly say it feels like my life is over. This thread is so wonderful. Although I feel horrible, it does feel good to get the happy memories out. I had been feeling sick for a couple of days and my period was late (although I did not realize b/c I'm terrible for keeping track of the dates . Me and fiancee had talked about taking a test but I was almost positive that I was not pregnant. We had a couple close calls in the past and weren't trying for babies, so I just thought we would be wrong like the last times. Fiancee was taking a nap and I just kept looking at the test thinking I have to know NOW! I went to the bathroom and took it thinking I would wake him if it was positive but knew it wouldnt be. Well It was! I just stood in the mirror saying Oh my Gosh to myself for like 5 minutes. I then ran in a woke him up with the good news. We were soo overjoyed and shocked beyond belief. It was one the most exciting and important days in my life, finding out we created life and getting to tell our parents that they would be first time grandparents. I will never forget that day or all the days that followed right up until the most horrible day of my life so far, when we lost our precious child. Thank you for reading this. Michelle

My happiest memory ....... DH and I were sitting on the couch looking at the pictures of our two boys wondering if this baby would have red hair and blue eyes like our older son(he looks just like DH) or brown hair and brown eyes like my younger one(he looks just like me dimple and all). Even my DH was getting excited to see.

I think I am able to tell my story now.... I had been having a pain in my chest for several days and I remember waking up early one Sunday morning ( either April 8th or 9th which ever was a Sunday) and telling DH I need to go to the ER cuz my chest hurts - so we went and found out I was having esphageal spasms - the dr said I wanted to do a chest xray but I can't cuz your pregnancy test was positive!!! We were shocked - I started crying hysterically and DH was sitting in the chair looking very close to fainting! Dr had to ask if it was ok to say congrats!! LOL We were so excited and I acted and was treated like a china doll!!! LOL Like baby would break if I moved wrong - LOL Anyway we went home and called my parents to tell them their first grandbaby was on the way - they were estatic. Then we called DH's family and they were thrilled as well. I email all our friends and family - except our church family - we waited and let our pastor announce it at church which resulted in a roof raising round of applause!! Everyone was sooo excited for us - we couldn't believe there was a life inside of me - we felt soo blessed and amazed. We talked, read and prayed to and for the baby everyday. Hubby's favorite place to be was with his head on my tummy. It seemed like my hands always just migrated to my lower tummy! Joy of the purest kind just radiated from us - it was contagious!! We saw the baby at 6 weeks and saw the heartbeat as well. It just nailed it home for us - it was a done deal. Miscarriage -whats that anyway? We prayed against it daily but never thought it would happen to us - I mean how could that happen to us? May 31st was dark day - it was even raining and nasty that day. But now I can say that I wouldn't trade those 10 weeks of pure joy for anything and the time I had with my Emma is irreplaceable!

Okay, it's time I did this. Though I'm soo happy with my pregnancy now, and so close to having this little one, my first pregnancy will always be my first child, no matter what. When I lost my first baby at 6 weeks, May 25th, 2005, I felt so lost. When I first took that test, though, seeing the positive, I was sooo happy! DH was 2 hours away at college (travelled back & forth every day) and I thought about waiting to tell him once he got home but when he called at lunch time I just couldn't hold it in! We were both soo excited! We were going to be parents! Those 2 weeks that I knew I was pregnant before we lost our baby was just so precious and joyful.

Oh, how I need this... to remember the positive times. It's so easy to remember this pg by how it ended, not how it began.
After years of infertility including surgery for dh, we conceived ds (2 days after a dye test for me) who was born last September. He is such a joy! So when we discussed baby#2 we thought we would start trying fairly soon because it would probaby take a while. But it only took two months! We were thrilled that our ds, who is SUCH a people person (you could tell even when he was a teenie tiny), was going to have a playmate so close in age to him.
We had our 1st dr appt at 7.5 weeks, and much to our surprise, we saw TWO little peanuts and their heartbeats. It took a few days for us to get over the shock and not be petrified (OMG, three children under 15 months!). But then we started getting really excited. We had a level 2 u/s at 9weeks and we saw them moving around already. That was so fun.
We started calling them our "pending tsunami." We were convinced they were boys. We met with other parents of twins to begin to seek wisdom from those who have gone before us. We made arrangements for a minivan (you can't put three car seats in a sedan).
We were just thrilled to be given the opportunity to shepherd the hearts of twins. What a blessing! And how fun to be joining the "special club" of parents of twins, looking forward to answering the questions: "Are they twins?" "Are they identical?" "Aren't they twice the hassle?" ("No, they're twice the blessing," we would say).
Missing my baby boys,
Jennie Mommy to one walking (Nathan, 9/26/05) and two resting in Jesus' arms (Joshua & Eli, m/c 6/30/06)
