I have been feeling this little girl for the last three weeks and have been dying for DH to be able to feel her too! We have spent many nights on the couch with his hand glued to my belly hoping for some action strong enough to get through. Although I will admit it was much more excitement on my part, DH would probably be excited for the first 2 minutes then lose focus while watching TV, so when the baby did kick he would say he didn't feel it, leading into an argument about him not paying attention... Anyways back to the story!
This morning this little girl was much more active than ever so I woke up DH to take a feel. After a few really good kicks, still no reaction. I looked at him and said "I know you can feel her from the outside now, there is definitely something wrong with you", to which he replied "Oh no, I could feel her", followed by me excitedly exclaiming "AND?!?!"
"I wonder what she is doing in there..."
END.
Anyone else less than thrilled about their DH's reaction? I just thought he would be more excited!

My DH felt our LO for the first time last night and he was so excited. He had his arm around me and she started kicking at him and I asked if he could feel it. Just as he started to say say no, she kicked real hard and he gasped. He sat that way for a good 10 minutes just feeling her kick and afraid to move.
:x
And yes.... He's freaked out by a living thing growing inside me.... So he WONT touch me.... As in 9 months of abstinence. In going bat ass crazy! Lol!

My DH felt it a couple nights ago, but I haven't been able to feel it from the outside yet. Mostly, it was because we were laying just right. I was on my back for a few minutes and his arm was draped across my stomach so he felt it with that tender part of the inside of the forearm. We couldn't replicate it yesterday. I think he was squishing her and she was fighting back!
It was bothering me pretty bad until our last ultrasound. I watched his face part of the time and I've never seen him look happier.
Men just deal with all of this differently than us.
