Good Times
Some of my proudest moments
were during photo times with your dad
while we were expecting you.
He was giddy with excitement and
after taking a few pictures,
he couldn’t keep his hands off of me.
His favorite thing to do was kiss
my tummy and talk to you.
Then he’d make love to me and
tell me to be quiet so we
“don’t wake the baby.”
Those were good times.

I want my daughter to know how much we looked forward to her arrival. This picture (blurred) was from good times when our family was together.

You were beautiful carrying your daughter! It's sweet that you wrote this to your daughter.

I echo Lost Viking's comment. Poem paints a picture of pre-natal parental togetherness.

Memories are always great. I missed that moment when my ex was pregnant and walked out because of her affair. Memories that pain me sometimes.

It looks like there are so many happy moments that you've curated in your life.
Looking back at them certainly gives you joy.
This just happens to be one of them.
