I have been waiting for quite some time to feel a kick or a flutter or something. Well, this morning I turned and laid on my back. Something seemed different, so I felt my belly. There was a bump towards the right side. I got so excited, but I waited a few seconds thinking it would disappear soon. It didn't. Then I told Joseph to give me his hand. He was half asleep, so he just raised his hand. I told him again to give me his hand. He put it closer to me. Then finally he lifted his head and I told him to put his hand on my belly. By that time, the bump was REALLY hard to feel. So basically he missed it.
Ok. Now I know there is something inside of me; however, I am still looking forward to the kick. But I'm wondering if Joseph will ever get excited. He doesn't seem to care. I know he cares, but he just doesn't show excitement. He talks to the baby. He even puts his ear up to my belly to see if he hears anything. I'm not sure if he is doing that just for my benefit or if he is really wanting to hear something. In either case, I'm glad he does it. Tomorrow we go for the big ultra sound. We're going to wait on finding out the baby's sex, but we'll still get to see the baby. Maybe that will get him excited even though he's only going because I want him there. Well, I guess we'll see.

Robin was not very emotive either during my pregnancy. I wanted him to be more interested in the baby bump too. I don't think he even spent more than 5 minutes in the nursery before Susanna came. But it all changed when he got to finally hold the child. I hope it will be the same for you. I read that sometimes fathers-to-be feel a little left out because during pregnancy it's all about you.
You look beautiful by the way!
Thank you for your words. It helps knowing he's not the only one who has behaved like that : ) And thank you for the compliment : )
