Finally got Hubby to look at baby stuff with me =)

YaY!!! So my hubby has not been wanting to even look at baby stuff until we find out the sex. We did buy a crib & mattress a while ago but since then if I had even brought up baby things he would freeze up. It was really getting me down for a bit but he has been better about it as the pregnancy seems more real to him now as my belly is getting big and I feel baby kick regularly.

I finally got him to seriously look at baby gear with me today For some reason we both think this baby will be a girl so we looked at quite a bit more girl things. I'm in love with the fisher price starlight papasan cradle swing (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-Price-Starlight-Papasan-Periwinkle/5430278) for either a boy or girl and he agreed we could get it!!! I think it's so beautiful, plays a light show for babies at night and plugs into the wall so no batteries Plus I did show him a few strollers for baby girls and we did decide on one that we want for sure if it's a girl so I'm totally thrilled, it's the Safety 1st AeroLite Sport Travel System - Eiffel Rose. We tried to look at boy ones too but just really couldn't find one that we liked. Anyways this is a pointless thread but I'm just so excited that his mental block about all things baby is disintegrating We had fun looking together and teasing each other, when I showed him a stroller he did like his response was 'I could rock that' LoL, men!!!

So exciting!! I can't wait to get to that point. We both are afraid to even look towards the baby isle, with our history of miscarriage. That has to be such an amazing bonding experience!! Very cool!

This is his first baby as my son was 2 when we got together. He is so into it, he wants to help pick out everything which is new for me. With my son his dad didn't care so I picked everything out. It's fun but frustrating LoL, some of the stuff I really love but he hates

He's such a great dad to my son and I know he is so excited for this baby and to have the full experience he missed with Jaden. It's the sweetest thing, I'm so blessed to have him for a husband

That's awesome that you have such a great husband. He sounds like he is already a great father.

Sounds like a great guy. My OH has also been a little hesitant. Happy to look and give an opinion on universal things like prams etc but not buying anything until we had the anomaly scan and knew the sex as well. Then last week we saw a pair of trainers that was just us written all over and he kept looking at me with a gleam in his eye so I took full advantage and we bought them! Very first thing we've bought for bean and he (she)won't be able to wear them until walking! Ha ha!
