Not sure if I’m being hormonal but I’m 28 wks pregnant right now. My husband is great and we have a good marriage… I just don’t think it’s hit him yet that he’s going to be a dad. For example, I always tell him the week to week progress of our baby… he never asks on his own. He never tries to feel movement unless I tell him to touch me at a specific time.

That said, he has a 5 year old niece who lives in another state. Her parents divorced pretty much right after she was born so my husband had a big hand in raising her for atleast a year. He’s so attached to her… he FaceTimes her everyday without fail. He feels bad that he can’t be closer to her and watch her grow up.

I’ve expressed my sentiments about how I feel like he already knows how to be a parent and I feel left behind. But he’s quick to acknowledge that he knows he’s not her dad and it’s different with your own child.

But he’s not as enthusiastic about our baby as I wish he would be (or atleast in comparison). I don’t know if there’s merit in how I’m feeling or these are just pregnancy feels.
