Man this seems to be going by fast.

I am also kinda of bummed. Dave is not showing much interest in this pregnancy. It makes me sad.

We had our first scare and trip to labor and delivery the other night. That kinda snapped him out of his pretending I am not pregnant mood....but not for long. I kinda feel lonely in this pregnancy, if that makes sense. Luckily Matthew loves lifting up my shirt and loving on the baby.

Turns out I was just dehydrated and they let me go home, but man those contractions were scary.

I can sympathize with you. My DH was not as interested in my pregnancy with Megan as he was with Jayna. He kept telling me that it was just that he was busy being a dad to Jayna and that he was excited to be having another baby, but that a kick is a kick, etc..... I think they don't get how special it is to be carrying a child. They don't get the bond that we do until the baby is born, then they are in love too. After I had Megan I went through a process, for a few days, of feeling regret about my tubal ligation and almost grieving for the fact that my baby making days were over and he just couldn't understand why I was such a mess. So I think it just means so much more to us than it does them, not that they aren't interested or in love with their child, they just see it in a different way.... kwim?

I am very glad that your contractions stopped and everything turned out well. Baby needs to bake for a while longer! GL and know you have your JM mommies to help you through the lonely days!

Glad things turned out to be okay. That would be hard to feel like he is not that interested, and I can see what you mean about feeling lonely--it is hard being pregnant, and it is nice to know that someone else is as excited about it as you are even when you feel tired/sick, etc. I hope that he is able to generate a bit more interest soon for your sake....

For a long time, when I was pregnant w/Bradman, Kyle seemed disinterested in the pregnancy and rarely did he come up to me and rub my belly or seem like he wanted too (like other dads to be), but as I got further along he became more "comfortable" with the idea that Bradley would survive (the m/c's freaked him out a lot)! UNTIL his birth, he never really got "OMG, I am going to be a daddy and there is a baby in my wife's tummy ) But, quite honestly, it made me really sad a lot! It was not until after his birth I asked him and was pretty honest about how it made me feel. He told me the m/c totally freaked him out and since he had no idea what it was like to be around a baby or a pregnant person he had no idea what to expect.

Not that Dave has the excuse it sounds like Dave may be feeling scared of loss too... who know's what guys are thinking. (sigh), I feel like you just never know with men. They are soooo freakin frustrating sometimes...

Hang in there mama... Tank II is viable now!!!
