Moms who are on their second, third, or more (yikes!) pregnancies will often comment that there just isn't much time to devote to connecting to the little one growing inside when you are taking care of older siblings. I am no exception to this. As I've already mentioned the first trimester is hard for me, and I was so occupied with trying to cope that I rarely felt like connecting to the little one.
My solution has been to begin a pre-natal yoga class. I only took one yoga session when I was pregnant with Kyan. I found that after a day of working I didn't have the energy to take a yoga class. This seems a bit funny to me now because I'm certainly more tired now than I was then but taking the time is really important to me. I want to do special things this pregnancy that are related to this child and I can remember fondly once he or she has grown into a big kid. It is also more precious bonding time for Dave and Kyan who are certainly best buds (Ky refers to Dave as his best friend) I can only think that a strong bond between them will help with the transition of adding a new member to the family in March.
In other news my parents arrive soon for Thanksgiving and I am trying to get this place in order slowly but surely. It will all come together one way or another. I wish you all a great week. I hope to post several times this week.

I'm right there with you. In my case the Peanut has become very Momma oriented; given the choice of heading out on a trip with her Daddy she adamantly refused to leave so she could hang out with me for the afternoon. I find most of my bonding moments with the Bean happen at bedtime when I'm in a quieter frame of mind and she's busy bouncing, nudging, kicking and rolling over in the belly.
