My DH can't connect at all to the baby yet; he doesn't have any sense that it's "real" (that's what he says) and I know it makes him really sad and scared. I know it will hit him when the baby's here (or, we're both hoping, at the a/s when he can really see LO), but he just feels really disconnected from the whole process. He keeps saying he's afraid the baby won't love him, and it breaks my heart.
Even with all that fear and sadness, he spends at least 20 minutes in the baby section of every store with me every.time.we.shop. I mean, seriously, we've gone all the way through the baby section of Target at least 10 times by now. Nothing has changed. But he walks with me and pretends to get excited, even though I know he's still kind of in shock. I really love him.

He left a few mins later saying a buddy needed help with his truck or doe thing so I got even more upset saying something like "IM A GLASS BOX OF EMOTIONS!" And he laughed at me which at the time angered me even more.
So he left, I went on to Facebook and blasted him.
So immature but I was so annoyed.
Anyways he came home with 11 bags FULL of different sizes of maternity jeans/dress pants.
PLUS 4 BAGS OF DILL PICKLE CHIPS! Lol.
So after I apologized like crazy for being so irrational, we got a couples massage and had an amazing dinner
It's hard for him to see me being so emotional since even on my period I'm not all that emotional. I'm half Russian, I basically just get angry lol.
He's awesome.
He does the dishes and takes out the trash every night, so I don't gag in the mornings. He decorated our whole house for Christmas for us. He does the laundry. He does the grocery shopping and he puts away the groceries if I'm not there. He does about 50% of the cooking and he takes care of all things yard and dog related. He spent about an hour yesterday rubbing my shoulder that had huge knots and was bothering me. He is freaking awesome. He was like this before the pregnancy too, though it's really ramped up since becoming pregnant.
My hub and I have been doing great lately! He loves to tuck me in for a nap and encourages me to rest whenever I'm tired. He says nice things about me when he knows how insecure I am right now about my skin. On Friday night he turned down going to a brewery and didn't complain one bit because he knew I didn't want to go and watch everyone else drink or be left out. He painted the nursery, and started reading a book about pregnancy to commiserate with me! I cried yesterday for stupid reasons and he was very understanding and didn't make fun of me or blame it on my hormones (which I hate).
I haven't needed too much help as I've been feeling great, so it's the time he spends with me I appreciate the most. The other day we were discussing how he is behind at work due to unforseen circumstances, and whether or not he should start pulling really long hours. I told him, work is the most important thing and I'll be fine for a few weeks on my own, no problem! He said work is not the most important thing and he needs to and wants to be home with his pregnant wife. It doesn't sound like much but the way he said it almost made me cry.
