Awe! That's sweet. They say it takes men a lot longer than women for it to feel "real". They also say that men will generally get on board once they've seen the ultrasound.

In time he will be just as excited as you are. I think they need to eaaaaaaase into it...

Smile

thats cute!
A fact with guys, when their significant other is pregnant, they usually dont get too worked up and fussy like us women do, mainly because they dont have the connection like we do with the baby. They are happy dont get me wrong, but the way they go about things when they are expected fathers, are different from how women react.
My fiance's brother really wasnt that in tune with the pregnancy when his wife was pregnant, he only because more excited and stuff like that, when his kids were born.
It takes seeing the baby for them to get over excited and all.

well at first he was really confused, still kinda is. The problem we're facing though, is that because he's underaged still, his family has control of him, I cant wait till he turns 18 in november. But his dad found out that i was pregnant, and told him he couldnt talk to me anymore, and to break up with me. As if i did something wrong ya know. But he has no intention of leaving me over this, I did nothing wrong, and its not like I got here myself he helped me. LOL. So its stressful. But today we bought a pair of little converse high tops for the baby, their so cute. But today he touched the bump quite a bit, and that made me happy. SO. But when he left I couldn't wait with him, because he's not allowed to hang out with me. How retarded is that? Well hopefully things work out.
