so i held a baby on Saturday for 2 hrs

I just sat there while she slept on my chest. It was Heaven. I'm ok, I was a little sad but I am so happy for my friend & the birth of her daughter.

I was sad after the M/C but I was so early (6.5 wks) that I cant say it "disrupted" my life. I have been worried lately b/c I haven't had the urge to start trying again. I thought maybe I really didnt want a baby. I now know thats not the case. It was so hard giving the little girl back to her Mommy. I feel so much better now and think that I am ready to start TTC again. I am finishing up my 2nd AF since the M/C and think we are good to go!

Awww I am glad it was a good experience for you and that you are ready to TTC again. Lots and lots of luck to you

I held my 9 week old nephew the weekend before last and I just broke down and had to hand him back to my sister - it was SO hard for me and I kind of avoided him for the rest of the weekend which I feel so bad about but I am just not ready.

When my DH and I decided to try to get pregnant the first time a lot of people we knew were having babies. I'll admit that I had a little bit of the baby fever but we had both wanted a baby for a long time and we were just waiting for the right timing and to be 100% ready. When the right time came for us so did all of these babies and the next thing I knew I was pregnant.

When we started ttc again after the miscarriage I tried to distance myself from babies and pregnancy. It still upset me and so many girls I knew were due right before I would have been so I planned on avoiding Facebook like the plague. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it especially because my original due date was right around the corner and I still wasn't pregnant. Then I remembered how I felt the first time around seeing all of those babies and how it made me feel. So I went with it instead of avoiding it. My DH thought I was going to depress myself but I said I can't help it, I want to see all of the babies. I thought maybe it would help. Here I was trying to get pregnant but avoiding any and everything that had to do with pregnancy and babies. Next thing I knew, I was pregnant again!

I think there is something about babies that sparks something inside of our bodies and that's the reason I'm sharing.

I wish you tons of luck when you start trying
