I have noticed lately that DH has started touching my belly more, especially when greeting me or saying goodbye in the morning. Even when I go to bed at night. I think he is saying those things to the baby now too. I just think it is incredibly sweet and wanted to share.

Mine too

: He is so much more excited about this baby than our other two. It's awesome, the biggest disappointment I had my first 2 pregnancies (3 counting the m/c) was that he was just not very excited until he held that baby in his arms. This time, he's just as into it as I am and I love it, it's so wonderful to finally have this experience with him.

My hubby is doing it some, but not all the time, and he was pretty attached to my other pregnancies, so it doesn't hardly catch my attention anymore. But what IS cute is that my 4 year old is CONSTANTLY kissing the baby, rubbing my tummy, talking to the baby

It's SO CUTE!!!! Even my 2 year old has started kissing my belly and signing "baby"! He's just imitating his brother right now, otherwise has no clue, but it's still stinkin' cute!

My partners won't leave my belly alone (and really, it's mostly fat that they're touching

). My youngest kids keep touching my belly and talking to the baby too. It's cute the first ten-thousand times . . .

I am actually touching my belly a lot now. I wasn't so much in the beginning. DH was a lot more, and he was talking to the baby early on. But lately I can't seem to keep my hands off my belly. Its roundness is so new and cute (I know I prob won't have this enthusiasm in a few months). When I sit and work at my desk, I can feel the little guy moving around and I am always putting my hand on my belly to feel it. It just feels good to rub my belly regularly-sometimes give it a good massage.
I had my 20 wk u/s on Tuesday, and the tech did some 3D images (some turned out really good of his face), and I keep looking at them wondering how I supposed to wait another 20 weeks to hold this little guy? So for now, I can rub my belly when I think about him.
I love that your other children are getting so excited for the new baby, even if they don't fully understand what's going on. Very cute!

DH only touches my belly occasionally, but I think he'll get more into it when he can feel the baby kick from the outside. That was when he really seemed to connect with the belly/baby when I was pregnant with DS. My 2.5 yo DS, on the other hand, is already doing lots of belly touching and kissing and keeps asking me if the baby is still in there. He seems to think my belly button is some kind of window to the baby, and keeps sticking his fingers in it and telling me he's touching the baby. I think he thinks the baby is going to come out through my belly button, but he doesn't seem bothered by this idea and I haven't addressed it yet.

On Easter, DS said he wanted to share his candy with the baby, then lifted up my shirt and stuck a jelly bean in my belly button.

ETA: A few of my closest friends have started belly touching too, but mostly they ask first.

Aw, this thread is so sweet. My hubby is touching my belly a lot too. I especially love it when he leans down and talks to the baby. Melts my heart.

I kind of feel this way too. Just a little while ago I asked DH to touch my belly as the bean was moving and my belly is really starting to stick out. He told me that this is baby #4 and I am still asking him to touch my belly?? I told him I thought seeing how I was having HIS FOURTH child he would want to touch my belly. Argh.

The kids however, wont stop kissing their baby brother!
