Not very excited abt baby

I'm 38 years old n 24 weeks, will b my 3rd child I'm a bit worried that I don't seam as excited as I was with my 2nd pregnancy  (now 6 years old). I don't care much for going to buy baby things so I told my husband for him to do it. He is the one deciding on what to buy. I don't even want to decorate the baby room. I don't hate the baby I just don't feel as connect to him or her. (I chose now ot to know the sex) I did go buy the essentials today like baby bottles but just picked whichever.  I even told my husband for him to pick the name.. what ever he wanted. Is this normal?? Or is it that since this is not my 1st pregnancy I'm just like blah...

Mine was planned. . N I'm not sure y I had to talk abt someone. .. I'm not depress or anything.. I'm active exercising I enjoy everything I do I'm still working.. I'm just not interested in doing all the mushie stuff of pregnancy. . Like I think pregnancy pic are dumb n a waste of money.. no need for new clothes Cuz I have my youngest son clothing. . So I know It's just that I'm not excited abt it
