baby daddy surprised me

On mothers day morning my baby's father showed up to my house completely unannounced and surprised me with a bouquet of flowers.
BG: I'm 35weeks pregnant. I was with him for 3years and I found out I was pregnant a month after we broke up. He didn't want to get back together tho. But he's been involved, he comes from a good family who's excited about the baby and basically we've gotten along well.
The thing is I still have moments where I kinda miss him. Him and his FAM came to my baby shower and we had such a good time. Its like we've been getting along great which is at times confusing to my feelings. And now with his nice gesture of flowers I hate that I feel a little bit of hope? Tho he is a nice guy so he could just be doing it as a gentlemen which I still appreciate.
I know a baby isn't a reason to be with someone, I know I know! Just wish emotions were easy to tame.

I know how you feel. Me and my boyfriend aren't broken up but we constantly argue and have issues. My first pregnancy we lost our son at 22 weeks. After our lods we've never gotten along better! He was so sweet to me and always making sure i was ok. A little time went by and back to arguing we went. Now im 27 weeks and ever since i got admitted into the hospital and the doctor told us our son would be born early and spend a lot of time in the NICU, we've been so close. Always saying how much we love each other and we are going to be okay. Im just scared that once the baby is here and out of the NICU, we are going to start arguing again. Lke you said, babies dont fix relationships but you cant help but have a little hope!

@schenner2 yes and I appreciate that despite what happened between us and despite him saying in the beginning that he didntbwant to be in a relationship with me, he didn't just leave me high and dry. Despite what happens I know he's a good person who wants to be a good father and I can't let my feelings get in the way of my baby having his dad around. Its just at the end of the day knowing that eventually I have to see him and be OK with him being with someone else ;(
&I can't lie and say I wouldn't be open to trying to make things work with him again. But its all only stuff that time will tell.

Sounds to me like he will be a great daddy and that is what is most important.  Maybe you will grow closer together as a result of having a baby or maybe you wont. The fact that he is involved in the baby's life already shows alot.   i know that watching my hubby with our first baby made me love him even more!
