My first feeling was one of joy and excitement. My first word...I think it was just WOW. I know I cried some too.

Although my first born just turned 29 on the 6th of January, I still remember the conuldrum of feelings that washed over me the moment I learned of his existence. I was absolutely thrilled, excited, elated, and even somewhat in awe. Yet, at the same time I felt a little anxious and scared about the huge responsibility this would mean to me. Would I be a good mother? This was HUGE! This was the single, most wonderful, and terrifying thing I had ever done in my entire life. I went on to ride this roller coaster of emotions 4 more times. And guess what? My youngest daughter is now 17 and will be 18 in July. I did okay. I've great kids that I am soooo proud of. Was I a perfect Mom? No! Unfortunately, when they hand you that newborn baby at the hospital they don't hand you a "step by step" instruction manual with it. I made LOTS of mistakes. Big ones, and little ones. But I love each and everyone of them more than life itself!

When I found out I was pregnant, it felt just like I used to feel when I got on a new scary ride at an amusement park. The straps were on and I wasn't going anywhere until this ride was over!

honestly i was terrified at first! i was going to be this little person's mommy for the rest of my life! What if i screwed up and messed up their life forever? what if i didn't get them thru school or they got into drugs or worse? then i calmed down, told my man and set a dr appt. Then went out to eat to celebrate! I wouldn't trade my daughter for anything< i still worry though>

I remember thinking, oh wow. This is permanent now. I wanted all 3 of my children, but the moment of truth was always a tiny bit scary! (And quickly followed by tears of joy.)

I was 17 years old when my wife conceived. My first thought was panic, but then it dawned on me that I should probably teach my child proper grammar, just in case he wanted to ask questions of the whole world, to prevent him from using phrases like "you was"

absolute terror!!!!! The first moment that you look at the preg test and says positive is the most scared I believe I have ever been, but within moments I couldn't have been more happy

fear of losing it. i've had 5 losses and then my son was born at 28 weeks, he's now 18 months. i was scared at telling anyone, scared of another broken heart.
