It's amazing to me how attached I already feel to this baby. I was very sad when one of my sisters lost her first late in pregnancy, but I didn't understand why she insisted on as counting her as part of the family. I know that sounds insensitive, but I just didn't understand. Now I completely understand. If anything were to happen to our baby boy in these next 3 months he'd always be my first born

When I was pg with DD, I felt briefly "bonded" after each of my ultrasounds, and again when she started kicking.

I don't really feel any sort of attachment with this LOyet, even after my ultrasounds.  Of course, I haven't felt any kicking yet, either, but I don't know if that'll be my "oooohh" moment or not.  Only time will tell.

I've been talking to Sean since I got my BFP.  I knew with every bone in my body that he was a boy-and I would joke around with him about how it was our little secret.  I feel really connected to him.  We even play-I tap on my belly with my finger tips and then he kicks back; then I tap again and he kicks again.  I'm sure its just a "leave me alone" reaction but it makes me feel like we're interacting already which I love.  

Of course, I'm the kind of person that has entire conversation with my dog and cat too...so ya know...

I didn't vote -- I started bonding after my ultrasounds when they looked like little people.

Ooo, yeah, I think I'd have to change my vote. I put when I started showing, but I think it was really when I heard his hb for the first time. That was the best moment ever! I cried. I think that's when I first really felt connected with him.

I love all of my babies as soon as I know about them.

That said, I generally don't "bond" until after they are here.

I started to really bond in the past 2 weeks.  For me, it was when i found out that she was a girl.  Now its like i know i have a little girl in there and not just a person.  If that makes any sense.  Just saying "she" instead of it has been the bonding glue for me.  Its also that within the past 2 weeks shes really started to kick more regularly and now everyday.

Answer that you didn't have:  When I saw her on the 20 week u/s. And, when I felt her kick.

I tried not to bond until after my 12th week because my mom had 2 m/c so I knew it was a real possibility for me, but I couldn't help but be totally invested as soon as I saw that hb at my 8 wk appt.
