DH got to feel a kick for the first time tonight!! So exciting! He was so sweet - absolutely thrilled. He was extra happy because he had been talking to the baby, so it felt like baby was responding to his voice.
That's great!! Every time I feel a big kick and tell DH to put his hand on my stomach, the baby stops moving completely. Until he takes his hand away, then it starts up again. DH jokingly says baby already knows to obey Daddy, but I really think he's sad he still hasn't felt it
It's so great! My wife has been able to feel our little guy for a few weeks now, though only sporadically. It's best when I'm lying down in the morning when he is particularly active!
We have had the best luck with DH feeling the baby after what we call "story time" (we are starting early). DH lays down next to me with his head close to my belly and reads out loud to my belly, i know it sounds a little nuts but it works, our little guy responseds by moving and kicking

Ditto! Mine little one will be tumbling away like its trying out for a gymnastics team and as soon as my husband puts in had there, everything goes still. I've tried putting my hand and she/he still kicks! But not for his hand. BUT...whenever my husband plays his instruments, baby goes crazy. Other people have come over and played and baby doesn't move, but my hubby plays on any of his (traditional African instruments) and baby is dancing up a storm!
