Seeing as we will soon all be rejoicing over BFPs of our own: What do you most look forward to about being pregnant when the time comes?

I know it's lame, but today I am really looking forward to maternity clothes:blush:. And last night I was really looking forward to feeling the baby move for the first time.

Let's make a lovely long list to look at when we get down hearted, something to remind us why we are going through the emotional hardship of TTC.

Honestly, since I have been trying so hard with out success, I'm looking forward to morning sickness. Everytime I feel a little queezy and it's around that time, I hope that I get sick.

After/if I actually do get preggers, I'm looking forward to the baby moving.
I know. I'm looking forward to that too, I'm looking forward to knowing that the baby is going well because I feel awful!^_^

Stroking my bump absent-mindedly
Oh yes! That will be wonderful!

And I'm looking forward to having someone with me 24 hrs a day while I'm going about my everyday work...sigh. I'm looking forward to remembering that there's a little someone growing inside of me.

EVERYTHING!! LOL!! :)

I'm def looking forward to m/s - have been hoping I would be sick for a long time! :) My list is a lot like yours, but to add a few things: I'm looking forward to picking out names, decorating the baby room - and having DH by my side for dr appts, etc. I'm also looking forward to telling everyone the good news when it finally comes...

I'm looking forward to all of that. I cannot wait - I'm even looking forward to the sleepless nights b/c I can't get comfortable.

An odd one - my Boston Terrier likes to sleep right at my belly - I cannot wait until the night that the baby starts kicking him thru my belly - and Titan freaking out at what's disturbing his sleep.

I'm loving your answers girls!:hug:

I've decided that I'm not going to complain during this pregnancy. Last pregnancy I felt fat and I felt so sick, and I really looked forward to the end of those feelings. This time I am determined not to feel down about how I look. And I am not going to feel guilty about having a sleep in the afternoon if I need one, and I'm not going to complain about being tired and sick to my husband!

I am determined to enjoy every minute. Because I don't know how long it will last.:thumbsup:

Also, I recently went shopping for a gift for some friends who just had a baby. I had to have a little cry when I got to the sock aisle. those socks are so little and cute! Anyway, I was so relaxed with my last pregnancy that I didn't buy anything for the baby (even though I made it to the second trimester!) so as soon as I'm pregnant again I'm going to celebrate and buy me some of those little socks!^_^

That is definetly interesting, but what a great attitude! You may not even get morning sickness, or you could and it be pretty managable... or it could be SOOOO horrible... I've heard some bad stories, lol.

I'm 8 and half month preggers... no morning sickness!! And feeling baby move is gosh darn amazing. Especially late in the pregnancy... ya can make out body parts that litterally SLIDE along your belly. lol Soo cool!

I'll be praying for you!

Decorating the nursery and buying all the baby necessities

Feeling the baby kick and move inside of me

Seeing the first sonogram... hearing the heartbeat.. seeing the baby move... finding out the sex of the baby!

and many many more!
