Hello,

Although I joined this group a while ago this is my first post.

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the positive pregnancy test that
resulted in a nightmare instead of a baby. That was a happy day
though. I remember taking a walk with my husband right after the
test and we held hands as we strolled through our neighborhood. So
sweet! For the next couple of months I would get choked up seeing
any person as I thought "You have a Mother!" Old, young, homeless,
driving in nice cars, it didn't matter, I viewed everyone with such
tenderness.

Thanks for asking this question, it's so nice to remember the sweet
parts of pregnancy. As for the bitter part, that's ME almost all of
the time!
