Congratulations ladies on your pregnancies. I hope to be on this board in a couple of weeks.

Now that you are pregnant, is it what you imagined it would be? What surprised or dissappointed you during this joyous time? Are you a happy pregnant women or miserable? Any info would be great! Thanks!

hello............and I look forward to seeing your good news in a couple of weeks too!

yes it is all I imagined it to be and more. I am thankful every day that we have been blessed with this.
the best thing so far has been feeling the baby kick. It is the most amazing thing in the world. sometimes I sit watching my belly move for hours, dh says 'stop belly watching!'
nothing has disappointed me that I can think of. the only thing that is missing for me at this happy time is my beautiful dog Jack who we lost in January. I always looked forward to having a baby while he was here as he loved children.

Being sick etc, hasn't bothered me. infact, if my symptoms weren't there, I worried! my worst symptom has been bad headaches but they are going now and like I always said before, if I had to put up with them for 9 months, so be it................it would be worth it.

I will pray that you get your positive in a few weeks too! you have a lot to look forward to because it really is wonderful.

keep us updated won't you?
love terri

For me, it's not what I imagined. Because I don't think I ever could have imagined what this is like, nor could anyone have explained it to me. I mean that in a positive way. Physcial things...I had no idea how your body changes, how different you feel physically, how tired I am, how many aches & pains, how heavy my belly is, etc. Mental things....I didn't realize how overwhelmed and blessed I would feel. I don't take pregnancy for granted for a second. It's truely a miracle to me. Just knowing that there's two babies growing inside me, depending on me to eat well, rest and be heatlhty is amazing. I feel like I am taking care of them already. And feeling them kick and move around is such a unique feeling....I never could have imagined what that would be like either.

So it's awesome & amazing....and I don't think anyone could have described it to me to have me understand what it's all like.

I hope you, and every other woman who wishes to have a baby, is blessed and can experience it also.

Dear Wannababy:

We hope to see your good news in a couple of weeks. My pregnancy has been great so far. I have not any morning sickness. I do tend to feel a little sick at my stomach if I don't eat on a regular basis. I have been extremely tired. Seeing the scans of my little beanie have been wonderful. When I first saw the heartbeat, I cried. It is such a miracle!
During our last scan, the little beanie was moving his/her arms and legs. It was so neat!!

Take care,
Tammy
