Hmm, my favorite part, let's see..... Nope can't think of one. This pregnancy has been really hard on me, so far. Though I will try and think of one, I promise I will. I really need to start thinking about the positives and ignoring all the negatives. It is just really hard for me to do, right now.

Oh, I loved every bit of my pregnancy! I was horribly sick for the first two trimesters, but after a couple of weeks, that doesn't phase you anymore! You get used to it! And it's just a sign of how hard your body is having to work to make that wonderful life inside of you....it's worth it!

I absolutely loved feeling her move around. But what I loved the most...and I know this is selfish of me...but it was ME who was feeling her move. I had to be the one to tell people that she was kicking, or she was rolling around, or she was stretching. I knew her every movement. I knew when she was unhappy or stressed, and I knew how to fix it. I knew that pretty soon I would have to be sharing her with the rest of the world, and I cherished that time when it was truly just the two of us...it was a precious time and I'll always be thankful for it!

My first pregnancy seemed like it went SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow too! I was so eager, and it was like it took FOREVER to hit each stage! Now I'm like, "How far along am I again...? Oh yeah, shucks, I probably oughta schedule a prenatal appt one of these days..."

My husband was joking around (since this is my 5th baby in 7 years) and said we just ought skip the prenatal appts and just show up at the hospital when I go into labor... ^_^

I would say hearing the heartbeat for the first time. I lived for every dr.'s appt. so I could hear the baby. Then came the movement and it was incredible. The best part though, was hearing it's a boy or it's a girl after delivery. We didn't find out the sex of the baby beforehand and it was a great surprise. We don't plan on finding out this time either -- I'm sure some family members will be upset at that one :)

I have one and it doesn't really work, all I could hear was my stomach growling or digestion going on. I wasn't really able to make out the heartbeat at all, but maybe I just had a cheap one. I'm not sure what expereince other's had.

I have to admit, it was easy not finding out with my daughter, we never had an ultrasound. With my son, I asked for an ultrasound, just so I could see the baby and we asked not to be told what the sex was, I was however hoping that at some dr. appointment that they would let it slip - that never happened. Most of my friends have found out before hand. It is hard not knowing for all those months.

My favorite part of pregnancy is waking up five hours after my c-section, realizing the horrible acid reflux is gone, and that I can start to feel normal pretty soon.;)

I do not really like the feeling of the baby moving inside. It kind of grosses me out. Sometimes when I am having an especially hard time with morning-24-hour-a-day-sickness the baby moving makes me feel even more nauseated. BUT--the movement is a good sign, so it is just something that must be dealt with.
