So I'm getting to the point where I've got some of pregnancy aches and complaints, but there are also some moments I've absolutely loved about this pregnancy. What have been your favorite pregnancy moments so far?
Mine would have to be feeling the movements..although getting the big ultrasound also ranks right up there for me. Thinking about that moment when the tech said, "It's a girl!", I still get choked up and want to start crying.
I love feeling the movements, sometimes at random times of the day, like she saying, "Don't forget about me in here!" I also really like watching my belly move with the movements. I have been able to see my belly move since around 23 weeks although lately I can see it a lot more. It's just so funny to watch sometimes. It often makes me laugh.
The other day, DH was hugging me and the baby starting moving, and DH could feel it that way too, without even trying. He was like, "Is that the baby?" and I said, "Yes!" That was cute, like we all had a family hug!
Another aspect I really enjoy about this pregnancy is sharing it with DH and how considerate and thoughtful he is to me and seeing his face light up when he feels the baby kick or we hear the heartbeat in the the doctor's office. I never had a good or close relationship with my father (my dad seems to have trouble relating to the entire human race, if that's possible), and I can just tell DH is going to be a wonderful dad to our daughter, something I never had as a child.
