This was mostly true for my DH as well. It got better at the first ultrasound where baby actually looked like a baby. Then again when we found out the sex. And again when he could feel the kicks.
It's just not real yet for him. Try not to worry. The warm and fuzzies will come.
When dh was home when I was barfing it changed his outlook for a day or two then he would forget.
Then when he felt her kick and saw her kick it would change his excitement and be helpful for an hour lol, then back to normal.
Then once lo is born he will be incredibly helpful for 2-3 weeks then back to normal...

Anyway OP, men react to pregnancy differently. He may still being adjusting to the idea of how his life will change. Even if the pregnancy was planned, it's a whole new ballpark when you're ACTUALLY pregnant. My H has been a lot less hands on with this pregnancy because he thinks that since I had twins last time that this one will just be cake.

If it makes you feel any better my husband always joked when I was pregnant with our first "I'll see if I like him when he gets here." It drove me crazy. But once our son was born they were instantly two peas in a pod.
Just last night we were talking about the baby #2 and he joked that the baby was going to be a less cool version of our son...my husband clearly has a bad sense of humor. I gave him an ear full but I'm not worried this time around. He is a great dad and loves his kid(s).
Try not to worry. If you think it would help maybe talk to him about your concerns.
