I'm sure it will all be totally different when he actually arrives. I wasn't really into the whole pregnancy/ baby thing when I was pregnant- I didn't get that whole bond/glow thing or any kind of spiritual epiphany or great sense of wonder. I was sick all the time, I felt like crap and I was scared to death about birth. I really felt defective and scared I wouldn't bond with my child. I was also scared about having a boy- I had really wanted a girl.

Of course, it TOTALLY changed once he came out and I met him. I didn't even know your heart could open up that much! And I LOVE having a boy, it really is so much fun.

I know its your 6th and it was my 1st, so its different, but fwiw, I felt much the same and it did all change once he was out. I'm sure it will be the same for you!

Thanks Amber - I'm sure it will too I just feel a bit odd reading about women at my stage who are so excited and can't wait for it to be over!! I wonder perhaps if I am just enjoying pregnancy and that's as deep as it gets! I'm quite contented, I'm not putting on tons of weight like I normally do and I'm loving all the attention.

I'm glad things worked out for you, too. And I don't think it matters if this was my first or my fourteenth, I've learned every pregnancy is different, that's for sure.

Oh, I know, I so miss all the attention and sense of anticipation!

Hunny, little boys are so much fun!
They are completely different to girls. Alot more laid back & relaxed, but very much mummy needy.
Jesse's not interested in pretty stuff like the girls were, he crawls out to the car & stands against the car wheel & is happy there.
He will go to almost any male, but when it comes to women, he just wants mum.
He likes the dirt & being outside. Its a fight to get him inside already! At mum & dad's he tries every chance he gets to sneak off to the shed & the boys & when down there he'll just wonder around the compressors, & tools quite happy.
They are way less complicated than girls

Don't be nervouse (I was too). I still spin out on almost a daily basis coz I have a boy! I'll just say out of nowhere...look! I've got a boy!

Oh & just a pre warning...its doesn't take very long for the obsession with their 'bits' to start!! Jesse won't leave his alone! Touching it on things & pulling it in all different directions!!

You aren't reassuring me bj LOL. I find men a bit gross sometimes. I love my husband to bits but I find some male behaviour, well, offputting, to say the least!!

On a baby its cute!
