I love the way I told DH about the pregnancy. We'd miscarried in November and that was such a shock to the both of us. A month later, we were pregnant again. I wasn't trying. In fact, I didn't know I could get pregnant so quickly since it'd taken me nearly 6 months and I hadn't had a period yet. I was in the kitchen making my 2 yo a hotdog. When I took it out of the microwave, I nearly puked, the smell of the hotdog was so bad. DH made a joke about me being PG. I laughed and we both said, "Nah. It couldn't happen. We just got over a pregnancy." That afternoon, the smell of any food nauseated me. DH had to get lunch out for me. That was a big sign. I went to Target for a pregnancy test and a pair of pink socks, just in case, while DH took the kids out for the day. I couldn't believe the + sign when I saw it. I wrote a card that said, "Here comes Kendra," and stuffed the pink baby socks in it. I called DH in the bedroom and gave him the card. He looked so shocked! He was happy but he wanted to see the pg test. I gave it to him and he told me to test again. I did the next morning and it came out pregnant again. It was a weekend full of hope and wonder.

I bought a few pieces of clothing for my baby right after I found out. Not for him to wear but for an art project for his nursery. I was so excited to be buying baby clothes because a few years ago, I was shopping with my grandmother and she said "I don't know why you are looking at baby clothes. By the time you find someone who wants to marry you, you'll be too old to have kids." That has always stuck with me so to be buying baby clothes was a huge happy triumph for me.

I will never frget the pure joy I felt when I saw her heart beating so strongly, and when the sonographer turned on the sound, and I HEARD her heart beating inside my own body, t was the happiest day of my life. I would sing to her because her ears had developed and she could HEAR! I would read to her and just tell her every day how much mommy loves her.

I was in a state of shock when I found out. I was only two days late. I just thought, well, I'd better make sure. I had been through this a million times before, and every test had always been negative. I started thinking I couldn't even get pregnant. My mom, my best friend and I went to Red Lobster for dinner. They both told me to stop freaking out. Brandi and I went and bought a test, and I came home to my boyfriend for a minute just to let him know that I was taking one. We went to her house, and after I peed on it, I watched the second line start to appear and FREAKED OUT. I started yelling, "There's another line! There is not supposed to be another line! There's two lines!" I called him and he told me to calm down. We went and bought a digital test, the first read an error and I waited with the second for like three minutes for the word "Pregnant" to show up. My boyfriend started to freak out the next day. We had some rough spots. It was so unplanned, and I wasn't sure if I should keep it. Everyone told me I was being selfish. I made the decision though. My happiest memory is of Brandi and I going to Wal Mart to go grocery shopping for our little pregnant selves, and talking about our babies growing up together like we had. We've been best friends since I was twelve, and have gone through all sorts of craziness together.
When we found out I had a threatened miscarriage, Robby had come around, and kept telling me that we were going to be fine. He actually started talking about the baby and it was so important to me.

After 2.5 years of TTC I'd looked at so many negative pregnancy tests that I was reluctant to test this February when I really felt pregnant. I waited until the day after DD's birthday so the negative test wouldn't make me sad and ruin her day. I got the urge to test at work, went to the store, tested in the bathroom there, and drove home to tell DH. He was really happy and said he "just knew it". I tried to pull the test out of the bag to show him...and it wasn't there! I drove back to work and found it on the bathroom floor!

I will never forget the day we found out, it was New Year's Day and I was 5 days late. DH told me just to test just for peace of mind and long behold it was positive, I was in complete shock as we were blessed to have conceived on our first month of trying, the others took much longer. As my pregnancy progressed and my belly started to grow, my DD was cuddling on the couch with me and said "Mommy your getting pokey". I'll never forget that.

My two SILs were in town for Christmas and while our husbands were out doing errands we were sitting around talking and one of them mentioned she had a headache and that meant her AF must be near. Then she realized that it should have already come. So she thought just for fun she'd check things out. We called our husbands to pick up a test on the way home.
They ended up getting a 3-pack and the three girls went into my room. My SIL tested and when she came out I figured I would just for fun. We'd been trying but I thought for sure I wasn't yet. After I took my test I looked at my SIL's test and realized hers was positive. When I came out I told her that I'm sure mine was negative but she better go look at hers!! So by this time our DH's had come into the bedroom to see what all the commotion was. She went in to the bathroom, looked at hers, then said that hers and mine looked alike! So we all piled into the bathroom and literally found out within seconds of each other that we're expecting! I remember jumping up and down in the bathroom and looking over at DH and seeing him turn a blue-gray color. I'd only ever seen him turn that color once before--the first time he tried on a wedding ring!! We were so excited.
Our due dates are one day apart. We got matching Winnie the Pooh outfits and exchanged them on Christmas Eve...that's how we told our family that we were both expecting. My outfit is now in the memory box and hers is waiting to be used come August. In so many ways that makes me sad, but I feel that her son will always be a happy reminder of the two months I had with my little one.

I remember:
The first inkling I might be pregnant when we stopped in at an all night supermarket on the way to a club because my best friend Michelle fancied some chocolate and I suddenly craved a banana.
Stuffing my face with a veggie burger on another night out and Michelle joking I must be eating for 2. I took a pregnancy test just to shut her up!
How excited the dad was when the test was positive, even though it was totally unplanned.
How supportive my true friends were and how when I summed up the courage to tell my mum she was truly understanding too.
Browsing baby clothes with Michelle and her getting me a purple elephant teddy for the baby because I love purple. I still have it, elephants never forget.

My DH and I have a beautiful 7 yr old daughter and didn't want her to grow up alone. We tried and prayed for another baby for 3 1/2 yrs before the exciting day. We had a priest friend praying for us everyday, he was praying for twins. I knew I was pg through my NFP chart, but I took a test anyways and of course it came out POSITIVE!!! I ran out of the bathroom jumping up and down and grabbed my hubby, he was jumping up and down. My daughter didn't know what was going on, she stared at us scared and confused, 'what's wrong w/ my parents?!'. I told her she was going to finally have a brother or sister in about 9 months. She screamed w/ joy and had to call her grandmas to let them know. She has been asking for a sibling for years. She grabbed my tummy and loved it and kissed it and hugged it. She told me there were 'two in there mommy'. She did this for the next month until my babies went to meet their maker.
I will never forget that day as I will never forget the day I was pg w/ my daughter (which was unplanned and I was engaged but not married). Life's experiences make us who we are.

When my first child was born. I remember going to the doctor for a check up and she said my blood pressure was too high (I felt fine) and she sent me to the hospital. After being induced, my baby was born the next day, Valentine's day! She was healthy and sweet and oh to hear her cry, and then stop crying when she looked in my eyes with hers and heard my voice! And the look on my DH's face, so full of love and happiness, like I had never seen in him before, it was amazing! It was and is the best moment in my life, hoping for another one for me and all my sisters here . . . .

this is an insert from my baby's journal that I'd started. Intro
7 years of marriage and 2 losses later, your Dad woke me up one morning, telling me I am pregnant. I wasn’t even late yet so I was very reluctant to believe his confident revelation especially since we weren’t even trying. He refused to accept my dismissal, so he went out to buy a pregnancy test. I laughed it off but he came back with the test and after asking him not to feel too disappointed if it was negative I took the all too familiar test.
2minutes later I looked...............................then looked........then looked again OMG!!!!!! 2 lines...................I showed it to Scott, who simply said “I told you so” Oh and it’s a girl!!! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. 2 years of trying and hundreds of negative pregnancy tests later, I’m looking at ‘2 lines’ I remember hugging Scott for what felt like an eternity. WE ARE PREGNANT!!! I unfortunately lost my baby(which was a little girl) at 20 weekson 27 Jan 2011. We got to see here and named her Leigh Ana. As sad as I am for losing her I am thankful for experiencing unfathomable JOY

So happy to share the best two weeks of my life :] My husband had just gotten back from China and then Auburn was heading to the National Championship so we did a lot of "celebrating" a couple of weeks later I woke up in the middle of the night with a "verp" and it fleetingly crossed my mind that I felt pregnant, but I ignored it because I was still on the pill. The next day I was at Target and I thought I should maybe get some feminine products as I was sure I was going to start soon, but they were out of my brand so I just took it as a sign and bought a pregnancy test instead. I went home and took it-I thought it was negative at first, but when I picked it off the floor to throw into the trash-I noticed that there was a light pink positive line. I called my best friend freaking out and she said I should buy a digital one to know before I told my husband-since I wasn't sure if he would be happy or upset-I had been pushing for a fourth child for a while, but he had been saying no. I went down to Walgreen's and bought a new test and waited for 3 hours and took it. and it said "pregnant" I was above the moon. I made a doctor's appointment immediately and called and left a message for my husband that I needed him to stay home with our little boys that morning so I could go. When he got home that night I asked if he got my message and he said he did and asked why I had to go to the doctor-I just held up four fingers and he got it immediately he said "Oh my God you're pregnant!!!!" Then started laughing. He said he was happy and I was happy, but I think I knew something was wrong, because it was the first time we never told anyone-the next morning I took another test just to make sure (plus the first one I bought came with two) and that time the test line was very dark. I was so Happy for 2 weeks and then Dec. 18th happened and I found out I lost it I hope I can be that happy again soon!

It's been 1 week since my miscarriage and I'm still trying to come to terms with it all. We had the joy of finding out 2 weeks before that I was about 5 weeks pregnant. After trying for 2,5 years to conceive and finally giving up this was the best news ever! However, our little Sweetie Pie was not intended to walk this earth and is forever an angel. I treasure the 2 weeks I had before loosing the baby. We will propably carry on and try again, but I'm still scared. This was my first pregnancy.

Hi... I'm Lisa.
I have 3 beautiful little boys, and 1 angel son. This was my second miscarriage, but I feel so strongly that the first one was the next child I had anyway, but the body wasn't quite right. This recent miscarriage was hard, but here's a few happy memories -
Once again we conceived before we intended to, and I was thrilled. The best happy memory was that I was holding onto this news, not sure how to tell my family because I have a younger sister who has been trying for 2.5 years without success to get pregnant. I worried my news would upset her so I was biding my time and thoughtfully planning a way to tell that would lessen the pain as much as I could.
Then one day she called me and said she needed to talk to me and was driving up to see me. It's a half an hour drive so I wondered what would make her want to talk to me, and what kind of trouble I was in. She came in, hands on hips and said, "is there something you want to tell me?" I blinked, surprised. "Something about you being pregnant?" I was flabbergasted - I hadn't said anything to people who would have told her. How did she know? I tried to play dumb, not sure what brought this on. Then I said, "well, you know we planned to TTC this summer, .. and .. that's not exactly how it worked out. Yes, we're pregnant." What she said next totally floored me. "Well would you like a pregnancy buddy?" I squealed, she beamed, we hugged and cried! We were due just 3 days apart. Later after an U/S we were due only 1 day apart. Though it didn't didn't end the happy way for me - my sister is still expecting a very healthy little boy due in February. It fills my heart with joy that she will finally be a mother.
-----
Another happy memory - I thought I dreamed it because it was so early, but it was real. I felt my little angel Alex move at only 13 weeks. Feeling that flutter is such a precious memory to me.
