lol I'm still trying to convince myself that I AM pregnant and that its not just some energy-sucking-boob-crushing disease I've contracted. Am I the only one that almost can't believe there's a baby growing??
I spend more time talking to myself at this point I think lol.
Edited for grammarz
If I'm being completely honest, I think I am subconsciously trying to not to get too attached to my little snowflake at least until after my first appointment.

The last few days more and more, now that the idea of being pregnant is really settling in since I have had a sit down with the doctor and they confirmed things with a blood test. I'm still about 12 days away from my first u/s and at that point (if everything goes well), I think I will find myself doing it even more.
It's a Boy! Can't wait to meet the newest man in my life!

I do, but at first I had to be convinced to do it. Even to really touch my tummy! It was, honestly, my therapist's recommendation. Because of my history, I've been really nervous and reluctant to connect. But when it comes down to it, staying aloof won't help me if I had another loss. It would be terrible no matter what. So I'm sticking with the idea that things are fine as far as I know, and I'm getting more used to talking to this little bean, and holding my bloated belly DH is also talking to the LO. Baby can't hear us (yet!), but talking to it is soothing to me, and anything that makes me feel better is likely good for him/her, right?

I haven't been talking but I know I will. I will put my hand on my belly just because I think it is the coolest freakin thing that we're growing little people right now. Also think it's so neat to know that the little sprinkle (yes, I nicknamed it sprinkle because when I found out I used a sprinkle to tell a friend) and I will be together for the next 8 months. So cool.
I'm in the camp of refusing to take additional pregnancy tests bc I'm afraid they will all of a sudden be negative. Also in the camp where I am keeping excitement and connection to baby at bay until I hear heartbeat and see it.
I've been talking to the baby on and off, mostly to ask it why it is making me so nauseous/tired/weepy... But also just to say hi occasionally. I know baby can't hear me yet, but it's nice for me to get in practice, since this is my first LO.
It definitely does feel way more real after the first appt. We just had ours yesterday, and I keep remembering the little heartbeat, and it makes me feel all glowy.
Not yet. I think I need to at least get through my first appointment and have it feel more real (while optimistic, my PgAL brain gets the best of me). Although the babes can't hear our voices for quite some time anyway...

A couple days ago I actually sat myself down and forced myself to talk to the baby. It felt a little weird, honestly--I'm not sure why since I have no problem talking to myself, heh. It's just hard to believe there's really a raspberry-sized human inside me. I think I'll start talking to him/her more after I have my first ultrasound and get to see the evidence.

@gradschoolmom1234 - I do something very similar, and so does DH. It's a little like asking for t&ps here - it doesn't have a direct effect, but it seems good for the soul!
