Just something I found which I thought was really nice .... 
My fav one is ... No. 11 ... The first time you get to hear your babys heartbeat, and realise that there really is a baby growing in there ..
It reminds me of when I sat outside the Midwifes office when Keely was having her Appointment and I could hear my little Grandsons heartbeat for the 1st Time ...
I actually started crying ... Silently I might add! 
Heres the Rest ....
1. Relishing your special secret in the early days and weeks before you tell everyone else.
2. Looking forward to nine months of planning and dreaming about your baby
3. Discovering that you can love someone even when they're the size of a grain of rice!
4. Choosing maternity clothes theyve come a long way from dungarees and smocks!
5. Enjoying the fact that for once people want you to gain weight
6. Giving in to those cravings, even if it is for a big cream cake!
7. Pregnancy is the perfect excuse to pamper yourself make time for long, scented baths, relaxing massages, and soothing creams.
8. You might finally get the cleavage youve been dreaming of (even if maternity underwear isnt the prettiest youve ever seen!)
9. Throughout your pregnancy, and right until your baby is a year old, you can get free prescriptions and dental treatment
10. Making the most of your maternity rights visit www.dti.gov.uk/er/maternity.htm to check them out.
11. The first time you get to hear your babys heartbeat, and realise that there really is a baby growing in there
12. Joining in with antenatal classes a great way to get to know other new mothers in your area.
13. If this is your first baby, make the most of sleeping late at weekends.
14. Telling your nearest and dearest the good news and hearing their congratulations
15. After all these years, youll suddenly have a new perspective on your parents.
16. Feeling so proud of how amazing your body is, growing a whole new person from two tiny cells.
17. Planning and decorating the nursery and when its all finished, just sitting in it, imagining bringing your baby home to her new room.
18. Feeling those first fluttering movements and wondering if it really was ..
19. Enjoying those extra vivid dreams you get during pregnancy even if they do make you blush!
20. Watching a grainy picture of your baby wriggling around on the ultrasound monitor, and treasuring the pictures you take home.
21. Ordering every baby clothes catalogue you can possibly find, and spending hours choosing what will suit your little one best.
22. Taking bump pictures so you can look back and wonder, was I really that big???
23. The glow you feel when your partner strokes your bump, or talks to your unborn baby.
24. Spending whole evenings looking through baby name books, trying to decide if your little baby will be an Archie or a Harry, a Daisy or an Olivia.
25. Imagining what he or she will look like a perfect blend of the best features from both of you, of course!
26. Dreaming about how proud you will be when your baby grows up to be a doctor, footballer, or whatever else they choose to be.
27. The amazement you feel when you look at your bump, with your baby growing inside you.
28. Spending time rubbing cream into your bump it might not prevent stretchmarks but it will relax you, and your baby will enjoy it as well!
29. Buying a cuddly toy, and this time for your baby, not someone elses.
30. Having the best sex ever, or having the best ever reason for not feeling in the mood tonight!
31. Feeling your baby move, when no-one else can feel it guaranteed to raise a smile on the toughest of days.
32. Making plans for babys first Christmas, first holiday, first birthday party
33. Feeling a pair of tiny heels in your ribcage might not be very comfortable, but you can forgive it because soon youll be meeting the owner of those heels.
34. Having an excuse for feeling weepy you can blame your pregnancy hormones for so much!
35. Being offered a seat on crowded trains and buses, even if it doesnt happen as often as you might like.
36. Afternoon naps when you are on maternity leave need we say more?
37. Washing and folding those gorgeous tiny baby clothes - doing the laundry is never more fun than this!
38. Making time to relax in the last few weeks before your baby arrives - shopping trips, lunch out on your own, dinner with your partner
39. The realisation that, whether you took 4 weeks or 4 years to conceive, soon you will be meeting your own little person!
40. Looking forward to getting pampered when you get home from hospital.
