I'm pregnant with my first (14 wks) & am so excited! The baby's father's not as excited (it was unplanned) but he's being so supportive. I sort of know in my head that it won't be like "the movies" where the father already has a bond with the child in utero, etc. but I was expecting him to be a little more nurturing? Is this b/c he's not as excited? Are there ways to get him more involved? Also he has another child from a previous marriage who's older. He pretty much raised her alone, so they have a very strong bond. I don't want to mess with it. I love her & am proud he's such a good father, but lately he's been saying things like "No one will ever be as important to me as my daughter" and "Stop trying to wreck the bond I have with my daughter" (in a 'don't try to wedge this child in between us' kind of way). I've found myself getting jealous of her and a little angry because I'm worrying he won't love our child anything like he loves her. Should I brush these comments off?
