I was reading Wicked this weekend and it brought back a memory from a couple years ago. My husband (then fiance) and I went to go see the musical Wicked because his lovely Aunt MN gave us her tickets when she could not go. It was a really great musical and we both really enjoyed it. But the most vivid part of that memory is feeling like a family with my belly protruding and smiles on our faces.
When I found out I was pregnant I was really nervous to tell anyone, not for the usual reasons young unmarried couples are nervous however, we have very supportive families and friends. I was nervous because I felt from the beginning that something wasn't right and I just didn't want to tell everyone. I had an overwhelming feeling that something was going to go wrong. So at the time of the Wicked excursion we weren't telling people yet. When we went though, I ended up wearing a shirt that was kind of tight across my stomach and my cute belly stuck out in that round, high, obviously pregnant way and it was a nice feeling. We didn't hide it, we felt like we could relax a little. Some stranger even commented on how happy we looked to be expecting. It was a nice feeling.
We ended up losing the baby just a couple weeks after we started telling people so that happy feeling was a rare moment I remember fondly. I really did enjoy the feeling of being pregnant. =(
