10 weeks preg and next steps

Safaribaby

Hi Ladies,

 I am 10 weeks along and want to start bonding the baby - any ideas to share on how you ladies are starting to bond with the baby?

I have my 1st Tri Screening next Tues and I can't wait to see how the baby is doing (also competing with "mass" in the sac) so hope he/she is doing well.   9 week appt showed HB of 162 so I am hopefull.

 Thoughts?

I liked taking prenatal yoga with my first two.  The instructor was great and really encouraged us to focus inward on the developing baby.

With my first we would read Dr Seuss's 'Oh baby the places you'll go- a book to be read in utero' and a few other books that we still read to him. I don't feel like I've bonded at all with this baby yet, its easier once you can feel them kick, have a belly, and it seems more 'real'

I'm making a mental list (soon to be followed by a real one) of all the things I can't wait to do with the baby: things to see, places to go, events to experience. And when I see one, like the amazing sunrise on our alpine peaks this morning, I tell the baby I can't wait for him/her to be here to share that with them

May be cheesy but oh well

OMG that's not cheesy that's brillant!  I'm going to copy you.  Also, all for the yoga, the only time I feel my mind can somewhat stop racing!
