I think this is all finally starting to feel real to him. We were watching the D.ateline special last night on kids and cheating. The "expert" was saying how you need to starting talking to kids early. DH leaned over to my belly and lectured the baby about cheating!
How long did it take before YH started to get excited about things?

awwww so cute!! my DH was a little nervous in the beginning, but once we watched the National Geographic special "in the womb" and he saw that it was a baby already, he started getting excited, now, he talks to my belly all the time, and when we're sitting watching tv at night, he keeps his hand on my belly, he's jealous i get to feel it all the time LOL we were in the car and the brad paisley song came on "anything like me" and i can see DH's eyes get a little watery, but he'd never admit it LOL

MH wasn't connecting at the beginning, even after I had my first u/s at 7w (and we saw/heard the hb)! I was so anxious and stressed out and felt so alone - finally around 8wks I broke down and cried and told him that he needed to show more interest in the baby so that I wasn't shouldering this all by myself.
He made the effort & went to babycenter website to read up on the baby's development. Later I got the "What to expect" book from the library so he read up the *short* chapter for fathers-to-be. Since then, he's been much better. The 12w NT scan helped too b/c LO looked more like a human than a blob! He doesn't talk to LO much but we bid our little "Olive" goodnight every night when we went to bed. Plus, now that I have a detectable bump (esp when lying in bed at night), it made him feel more connected as well.
