I know DH works a ton of hours and is tired when he gets home but I gota say his interest in tv, jogging or anything else isn't affected but he doesn't seem interested in the babies growing in my belly. I had new u/s pix today and I told him when he got home, he didnt even go look at them, hours later I said though you'd want to see the pix, he grunted and got up to get them. He has read to them a few times months ago but that has stopped as well. I think other than a quick belly rub before he leaves in the am thats the only contact or interest he shows in the bump/babies. Its really bumming me out, esp since you can really see some big movements with them now and so far Im the only one who has seen it. Am I being hormonal and over sensitive? I just hope he isn't this detatched when the are actually here! He's not a very emotional person as it is, I'm just praying things change when the babies arrive. So with that long vent, sorry, how are your DHs with your belly? Do they pay alot of attention to it? does it come in waves?

Re: is your DH interested in your belly lately?
My DH is not very interested in my belly at all. Not even the baby moving or kicking. He's more interested in my boobs, to tell you the truth. I think it's a man thing. Feeling a baby in someone else's belly doesn't make them feel connected. Think about it - if your friend was pregnant & you touched her belly & felt the baby move, would you feel magically connected to her child?
Don't worry, once those little ones are born, you'll catch him snuggling them with his eyes closed like he's soaking up every little moment :-)
Everyone's different. My DH loves touching the belly and talking to our unborn daughter. He's already bonded with her. He's also just a sensitive, sweet guy who is really looking forward to being a parent.
That being said, lots of guys/fathers don't care until after the baby is really born. Don't worry.
