How did the baby's father react when you first told him?

How did yalls babies fathers react when yall first told them? I know my boyfriend was in shock at first and now he's starting to come around and joke with me about it and actually talk about it. It scared me at first because he didn't really want to discuss it but now he's starting to seem more open to it and happy.

I am notorious for planning things way in advance lol, so we had been trying for 8 months and had no luck. We had gone to the fertility clinic and got some really bad news, a couple months later we got a second opinion and it confirmed our fears. So we came to terms with the fact that it was just clearly not in God's plan for us. It had taken it's toll on both of us mentally. Well, the week after we got the second opinion, I missed my period. I just knew this was it. I had always been the one doubting it before, after months and months of negative tests. Well I told him I was not gunna take an over the counter test, just get blood work done, so 11 days after my missed period I called the fertility doc and got my blood drawn. The next day we got the call, I made her verify my chart lol. I called my man and said, "what are you doing on October 21st", he is like Jesus I am not planning that far in advance blah blah lol. (Cuz of me and my planning issues) so then I just said well you might wanna clear your schedule cuz we are having a baby that day. :) we were both in complete shock and disbelief. So happy. :)

1st pregnancy: When I told my boyfriend, he got the biggest smile on his face and started to cry of happiness.

2nd pregnancy: He didn't believe me for the longest since I hadn't taken a pregnancy test but once he saw I had morning sickness, he was scared but now he's excited. (:

My hubs was sleeping so I think confused would have been the initial reaction. Than it was excitement. It took us 8 months of trying so he had a little preparation time. :-)

My husband and I tried for almost a year after we lost our son. Every time I thought I had good news I was let down. So August 2 when I started my period I told him im going to focus on me and get my body as healthy as I can. September 14 I went to the store with my sister and at that time I was 2 weeks late but didn't think anything about it. I went to get some alcohol but something was telling me to go buy a test. So I bought two equate and went home and bam a positive! Went back and bought the one that said how many weeks and took it. I called my husband and told him he needed to come home because I had something important to tell him. He came home and I told him to look on the counter and he said"are you serious? !?" Had a big smile on his face. When we found out we were pregnant withmy son he made me take 8 tests lol . Im pretty sure he was in shock. Ill be 35 weeks tomorrow andhe is already wrapped around his daughters finger. He is a mess:) can't wait to have our rainbow baby
