This is such a great thing to do, happy memories!!! I had no idea I was pregnant, I just knew I was really late, and having cramps. I thought what the heck, I'll buy a pregnancy test on a whim. (TTC for about 1 year)! Anywho... got the test home, took it... I about fell over. I called my best friend to tell her... I wanted her to help me surprise my husband & daughter. Soo... after the giddy giggling & all, I had the perfect idea. I went back to town & searched ALL over the little poo town I live in for a "Big Sister" t-shirt. Couldn't find one, I was crushed. Then BING! a light bulb went off. I went to a store that made t-shirts & had one made for my daughter, that said "Big Sister". I took it home & had my daughter put it on. She says, Mama, what's it say? I said... go outside and ask your daddy what it says... I followed her outside, and the expression on my husband's face was absolutely wonderful. Kaylee was so excited, talking to my belly, putting socks & books in her shirt and saying...I have a baby in my belly too!

Thanks for the thread! Its been 8 months and 7 days since we lost our angel.
We got married in February 2007. In April 2008, I was late with AF. I almost fainted twice in the shower and had cramps like as if AF was about to come. DH had a feeling that I was pregnant. But he did not say anything. I just thought that I was having bad period pains. 2 weeks later, still no signs of AF. One saturday morning, we decided to test and guess what? Got a BFP! The 2nd line was so dark that we knew there was no mistake. I panicked at first but I was happy at the same time. We started making plans for the baby and told our family. Everything was just perfect. I bonded with the baby from the word go. I never ever loved anybody as much as I loved this baby.
Then at our routine 12 week scan, we did not see the heartbeat. Our baby was snatched away from us. I was sad and still am. I feel that bond that I share with my baby everyday and that brings a lot of joy to me. My baby gave me the best gift ever: the Gift of Motherhood!

Thank you for starting this thread, Christal...
We found out right before Christmas. I was 5 days late and figured that it was my cycle going back to normal (we had stopped birth control in October). I thought there was no way I could have been pg. I mean, I was working in the field, climbing in and out of test pits (I work in the environmental consulting industry). I was just taking the test to see if I could drink wine during Christmas. When I saw the + sign, I was in such shock. My DH heard me in the bathroom muttering a few cuss words (I cuss when I'm in shock). He was so happy! We spent the next 11 weeks talking to my belly, telling baby that Mommy and Daddy loved him so much and that we couldn't wait to meet him (I could feel that baby was all boy). I was so happy! I can't wait to feel that way again...

I took a pg test at work, and panicked at first because my boyfriend and I had been trying to work out kinks in our relationship, and I didn't know if we were going to make it. On my way home, I bought a baby wrist rattle and handed it to him along with the pg stick, he looked at me confused and said "for real?", and then he giggled and hugged me tight. We were both scared for a couple of days, but then we became very focused on centering our lives around Mathias and making sure we were going to be the best parents we possibly could be. And, it actually began to look as though Mathias was going to not only be the biggest joy in our lives, but a big positive for our relationship. I had 24-hour-a-day sickness - I felt sick constantly. But, I still felt as if I was constantly walking in the clouds. I have never in my life felt so happy and at peace. I can hardly wait to feel that way again!

What a wonderful way to honour the memories of our beloved angels...
My DH and I had been TTC for 1 year to the day when we found out we were expecting, which was Dec. 14th. I had been writing finals the entire week before, so I thought AF was just late from of stress. After a full week of no visit, I decided to take a test, just to be sure. I have never had so much anxiety trying to pee in my entire life, and after waiting at home for 4 hours without any success, I went to DH's work. After 20 minutes in the liquor store he's employed at I finally got the urge. When the test came back positive, I thought it had to be wrong. 12 months of negatives had me thinking we were going to have troubles, and we even had a fertility appt set up for March. I called DH to the back store room, and was so excited to show him that when I ran to hug him we butted heads and I accidently gave him a fat lip. We kept the pg a secret for 10 days from the rest of our families, letting the news be a Christmas gift. We bought cards for each set of parents, and signed them with our names, and "Pookie, due to arrive August 2008" (our baby's prenatal name) I will always remember it as the best Christmas of my life... I love you and miss you so much, my little angel

My pg was a complete surprise. The father wasn't my boyfriend but a friend and he was completely supportive from the moment I told him I might be pg. And when I confirmed he said he was behind me 100%. He was there for me in every way and we grew closer and it was the happiest time in my life. We had so much to look forward to... that's all I remember.

At first I was in so much shock as my marriage had been having trouble for months. But when I told DH, he became excited and we talked about redecorating the house and all the hopes and dreams. I wanted to decorate the room with a japanese koi theme and buy a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag and I was just so excited about carrying another baby in a sling and smelling that newborn smell and feeling those little fingers and sharing it all with my son.

Little One was my first pregnancy ever. My DH and I had gotten married in May 2007 and I started thinking about a baby in August. We had been together for almost 4 years so I think both of us were looking forward to having a baby very soon. We enjoyed the newlywed life ;D hint, hint and honestly I don't think we were expecting anything. The weekend of October 13-14 I felt really strange and sick but, I didn't think anything of it. The week of October 15 I felt terrible! My stomach was so upset! I chalked it up to something else and took Pepto Bismol. On October 17 I thought that I might be pg and took a test for the heck of it. Low and behold there were two dark lines! My DH was there with my when I did it and I just started crying because I was in shock!!! We immediately went over to my parents and they were thrilled. We called my in-laws over the phone because they were out of town... needless to say they were excited, too! I calculated how far along I was which was 4 weeks and I calculated when I concieved... which was on DH's birthday! I was so in love with being pregnant! Everything was going great until Thanksgiving 2007. After dinner I got up and went to use the bathroom. After I wiped there was brown blood on the tp. I started crying and called for my Mom. She wanted to rush me to the ER but, I called my OB instead. He told me I had a 'threatened miscarriage' and that I needed to relax the rest of the night. If the blood didn't go away I needed to call him asap. I called him later and scheduled me for an emergency u/s. My parents were so worried that they went with my and DH. I was extremely nervous but, still optimistic since the midwife said my cervix was still closed. I went through the u/s not knowing anything. The tech didn't say anything. Later I went up to L & D where the midwife met me and told me that Little One had no h/b at 9 weeks and 1 day. I was devastated and shocked. DH started crying and I just wanted to go home. I got a shot of Rhogam (sp?) the next day and just started to the process of miscarrying after that. It has been a long hard battle. I miss Little One and think of "her" everyday. I will always love her and can't wait to see her when I get to Heaven. I was the hardest exprience I have ever been through but, I would not changed a thing. Just being able to be a Mom for that long was worth it.

I read these posts all the time, and I finally decided to post my own happy memory. I went off the pill in July 2007, we agreed that January 2008 we'd start actively trying, and I began my first charting cycle on January 3. I was really depressed at what I was seeing: temps all over the place, no signs of ovulation well past 20-some days. Then, one Saturday morning my temperature shot up. I ovulated!! I was so excited that I ran around the apartment waving the thermometer in delight. Twelve days later, on a Tuesday, I had bright red spotting and thought I started my period. I was really sad - but relieved to know that my body could actually ovulate. But that afternoon I noticed no more AF. Weird. Then none on Wednesday. Well, maybe it's not started yet, I'll test on Friday. I was convinced I wasn't going to be able to get pregnant because my cycles were so irregular. But I couldn't resist...and Thursday was Valentine's Day...so I decided to go for it. My DH gets up at some god-awful hour, and I decided to test while he was in the shower. I'm dead tired. So I POAS, set it down on the countertop, then pull my toothbrush out, as I look over to pick up the toothpaste and...utter shock as there is a HUGE beautiful plus sign. I pick it up, and say "Uh, DH?" He responds (in the shower still), "Yeah?" "I think we're going to have a baby..." with a little trepidation... "Really?" - he says from the shower "Yeah, there's a plus sign but the test says I have to wait two more minutes but there's already a plus sign..." and then I just kind of babbled that over and over as I took it to the shower, opened the door, and showed him the stick. DH did a little "Yes, yes, yes" chant and pumped his fist. He was proud of his boys. I then POAS three more times - all positive. DH got out of the shower and just smiled ear to ear. He wrapped his head in a bright pink towel with his ears sticking out, and I just kissed him and kept saying "We're going to have a baby! I can't believe it!" I will always remember the smile on his face. He's had that very specific kind of smile only a few times in our relationship - on the day we met, on our wedding day, and the day we fell in love with our little Adam.

We fond out the day before New Year's Eve. My husband told me to take the test, even though I wasn't really late. He said he just knew. We were trying for 7 months and I didn't want to be disappointed again, but I took it anyhow for him and it came back positive. I remember going back into the bedroom, shaking and telling him "I think I am pregnant." I didn't even believe it. It just didnt seem real. He wanted to call everyone and tell them right away...and it was only 5 AM. I told him that we should wait until I can get in touch with my doctor. I couldnt get in touch with my docor until after the long holiday weekend and it was torture. I took about 5 tests to make sure. Finally, I made an appointment and we started telling everyone. I bought little teddy bears for my mom and dad with a baby photo frame and a poem in it about how there is a little one on the way. I wrapped them up and gave them to them and I told them it was a Christmas present that arrived late. As soon as they opened them they knew. We told everyone in the next weeks and the whole thing started to get real, everyone was so excited for us. Our joy lasted for 12 weeks, until the worst day of my life. I so much enjoyed the feeling that there is someone in there depending on me and I loved her so much. I can not wait to feel that joy again. I pray that I can trust God's plan for us and that we will have that joy again soon.
Thank you for "listening"

Great topic! In mid-June I knew I was pg. I took the test and immediatly cut out caffeine! My happiest memory of this last baby was when we started to plan on how to rearrange Sean's room inorder to make room for the crib. Now we're doing a bunch of testing and are determined to find out how we can have another beautiful baby! Here's wishing everyone peace and love.

I love this! I was sick as a dog, and I hadn't had a real period in 3yrs, and I have had mastitis twice, so I didn't see the signs as pg, because I throw up almost everyday because of my meds. My mom told me she had a dream I was pg. Everyone kept asking if I was pg. I finally took a test just so I could tell everyone no. Well it was + instantly. I called my dh and asked him if was sitting down. He said he just woke up so I told him to wake up, and then sit up. He told me to go get a name brand pg test, since I bought the cheapest one too. He suprised me by driving home from an hour and half away just to suprise me! Knowing he would have to get up early and turn around and go back. He would laugh and call me baby's mama. Told him I didn't think that worked for me since I was his wife for 5 yrs. The first time I saw that heart beat tears came to my eyes. When dh would see the baby on an ultrasound, he never moved or spoke. He was so in awe. At Christmas, we took belly pics, me, mom and my brothers kids all had our shirts up showing those bellies! Marc would call and leave messages well after I went to bed, that he loved me and the baby. I would listen again and hold the machine to my belly. It was like being newly weds all over again. Just gaga over each other. Those were my happiest memories.

Yous are all insperational people. I lost my baby recently. And i looked on the internet for some support as me and the boyfriend just argue if we talk about the loss as he blames himself and i blame his family as they put me under so much stress.
But this web site is a great way to come to terms with my loss.
