Any moms first time moms out there have any advice on things they wished they'd done while pregnant to celebrate or remember this special time? For example I want to do a belly cast, anyone have any other ideas? It flies by so fast, I dont know where the time went.

I wish I'd done a belly cast. I wish I hadn't gone into labor a couple of weeks early with my 5th baby and made my Blessing Way get cancelled; we never got the chance to reschedule it. I wish I had a videotape of each birth, and even that I'd had the opportunity to be on A Baby Story or Birth Day with a few of them.
I have a lot of memories, so I don't spend too much time wishing or regretting, though.

I have the next 18 years to remember that special time!! lol Kidding...I have had 4 kids and all I did was get pictures from the ultra sound. That was about all I did. I'm happy with the pictures of my naked belly and my swollen ankles. I have all the ultrasound pics in a album that the kids can have when they are older. I've seen the casting though and thought it was cool. I just don't have the room for anything like that.

Well for one I wish I would have done all the nursery stuff before I went on bedrest. I wish that I could still get a belly cast done. I wish I would have asked earlier about the 3-D ultrasounds because being 32 weeks now with twins they told me its too late. I wish that I would have written everything down each week so I could look back on it, because this is my last pregnancy.I wish I would have taken more pictures of myself and my other kids while I felt pretty. My oh my I wish this list wasnt so long. And last but not least I wish that my babies are born healthy and have no NICU time!!!!!!!

I'm not a first time mom but I remember being one. I look back now and wish I had taken more pictures of my growing belly, I have one picture from when I was 30 weeks.

My husband insisted I have belly pictures taken. I wish I had gone to glamour shots. They had this gorgeous shot on the wall of a pregnant woman wrapped tastefully in a sheet with her belly exposed. They are good to remember exactly how big you got with each child and great for baby shower invitations. Good luck and congratulations!

Every month I took pictures of my belly in the same out fit standing in the exact same position and then made a flip card of it and it was kinda cool to see my belly grow in fast motion.
My little sister's husband always read to her belly.

I wanted to do a belly cast also! The things they can do with them are really great! I wish I had my pic. taken with my belly showing also, so when my children are older, they can see my belly!
