He might be scared. Becoming a dad (or mom) for the first time is a big deal. It probably is still unreal to him. It`s real to you because it`s happening to you, you know? I`m sure he`ll come around the further along you get. :)

I bought my husband the book `The Expectant Father` which helped him to understand my feelings and what I was going through as well as informed him of the growth of the baby. BUT, most importantly, it helped him to understand and sort through his own emotions and helped both of us to understand that while we may feel the same things, it didn`t mean that we would feel them at the same time. I also bought him some books from Baby -- `Daddy Cuddles` and stuff like that so that he would know that this child would soooo sooo sooo love him regardless of his fears at that moment. It was tough at first and he really sucked the pleasure out of the 1st trimester but I can tell when he`s read his prenatal book (which is totally written for guys) because a sense of peace comes over him for a while. Good luck and don`t try to make him feel the way you want him to feel, when you want him to feel it. That`s my advice. Oh, and I would cut and paste the `week 37` stuff into an email and send him an abbreviated version like `Baby has fingernails and is the size of a Plum` which I think was very helpful. It gave us something to be in awe of, together.

Its a guy thing for sure ~ once the baby arrives you will see his face light up ~ I`ve heard many moms to be say their significant other is like this ~ My hubby was too with our first ~ I wouldnt worry about it ~ as long as he is good to you the rest will fall into place once he sees his little baby :)

Hun.. to be honest with you. I think it is a guy thing! My husband was all supportive and all that good stuff but just mever excited about the pregnancy! Which hurt me because I wanted him to be as excited with me! He is just now being the excited Daddy.. he might be one of those guys that it doesnt `hit` till the little foot is popping out of your side! like mine! Just dont let him get you down! Good luck!

My bf is excited and supportive. But he also won`t really talk about the baby with me. I think its because he`s scared. I`m scared too, but I love to talk about the baby because it is a part of us. I guess it will just take time and they will come around!

My hubby was all smiles when I told him, I can`t say the same for me...at first. It took me a good week to accept it and become happy and excited this time. It was a total shock for me and I only took the test just to ease my mind thinking it was going to be a BFN. He called almost everyone we know as soon as he found out. It takes time to get used to a baby coming for some people or in some situations. I am sure your bf will come around. Best of luck to you.
