Pregnant after a Loss

AW: I had my "I'm having a baby" moment!

Unfortunately, I think many of you can relate to this, but the innocence of pregnancy = baby was stripped away from me last year. This pregnancy has been amazing, scary, beautiful, terrifying, and really hard, but it took until last night to actually believe that this pregnancy meant baby.

A little over 10 years ago, I purchased a pack of Disney Princess books that came in a special edition package and thought to myself "One day I'm going to read these to my daughter". I was in high school still, what a silly thought to have then. Last night, I actually placed those books on bookshelves made by DH and I in the nursery. I stepped back and couldn't stop staring at the books with tears in my eyes, thinking "I'm actually having a daughter"! Pic attached :)

I just had to share this very special moment! Will you please share your "I'm actually having a baby" moment with me too?

    That is awesome. It is such a nice, touching story. Of course we deserve our baby moments! I am very glad you let yourself free of any guilt/fear and just enjoy. I had few moment up to now. The most recent one I started peeling the decals of the nursery wall to prepare it for the new baby. My son graduated to a new "big boy" bedroom so I can start repainting the nursery. I am quite excited :)

    PD: you are really going to need all those diapers, I guarantee. My son used to need a change 10-12 times at day until he was 3 months old!! :P
