He said he'd be really smiley and probably cry, but maybe just smile a lot. Eh, he'll cry. I love him and love how emotional he can be. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-274785 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:30:17 +0000 purrpletulips 274785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I recall correctly it was a look of horror but with tears in his eyes. My OB held DD up for us to see at the same time he asked if DH wanted to cut the cord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273809 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 16:13:13 +0000 luckypenny 273809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was a crying mess. just mostly telling me how proud he was of me and saying "hi beautiful" to DD. we filmed the birth and i love watching his reaction :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273805 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 16:08:53 +0000 bushelandapeck 273805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came over to us (baby was on my chest) and whispered to him hello and told him how happy he was that he was here. Then he told me how proud he was of me (I went natural) and how much he loved us. It was really sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273756 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:37:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 273756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I die!

I didn't even notice until the midwife instructed her assistant to give him a tissue =) It was so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273730 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:20:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 273730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eiko2010: Yet another thing to look forward to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273728 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:18:55 +0000 Mrs.B 273728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this thread. DH is a pretty non emotional guy so I'm very curious to see what his reaction will be. He's been so protective of me threw my pregnancy which has really surprised me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273707 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:10:16 +0000 MaisyMay 273707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading these reactions brought tears to my eyes. Hubs is a pretty emotional guy, so I can't even imagine what he'll say/do. During our wedding he had tears in his eyes the entire ceremony. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273683 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:54:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 273683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He bawled. In fact, he was bawling while I was pushing her out, and then cried even harder when she was on my chest! I remember watching him cut the cord and his hands were shaking SO bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273681 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:53:37 +0000 littlebug 273681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: @MsLipGloss: It's adorable! I'm going to love reading this. I cannot WAIT to see Hubs' first reaction to seeing our LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273674 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:48:55 +0000 littlek 273674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was concerned, there wasn much chance for a reaction becausw LO had to be rushed to NICU. But DH cried the first time we went to the NICU and our LO looked right at DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273670 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:45:20 +0000 stargal 273670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he was smiling and in shock just staring at him. it was really sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273492 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:23:53 +0000 Mrsbells 273492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just had a GIANT smile on his face and he jumped up as soon as they pulled her out and went with them to clean her up and he kept saying "she is so big she is so beautiful" over and over again. She wasnt really big but i think he expected her to be tiny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273491 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:23:34 +0000 bpcmarj 273491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He cried! Then, he told me how beautiful she was, and how proud he was of me and what a good job I did (natural delivery). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273490 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:21:31 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 273490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They placed M on my chest and DH just looked down at us from the stool next to the bed and stared with a look of pure awe on his face as he wiped away a few tears </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273482 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:18:42 +0000 MsLipGloss 273482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Highwire: Ditto!</p> <p>I can't wait to see DH's face the first time he holds his little girl . . . he usually has such an awesome poker face that I am curious to see how much emotion he will display. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273476 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:16:03 +0000 DillonLion 273476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is cute!

I don't think he said much the first few minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-dhs-first-reaction-to-meeting-your-lo#post-273411 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:35:25 +0000 heffalump 273411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"oh my god! oh my god! oh my god!"

Like sobbing, ugly, snotty crying! I wasn't terribly surprised by it, he can be a pretty emotional guy sometimes...I was more surprised by my lack of crying!</p> <p>And poor guy, had to wait to hold him for close to 15 minutes...even though he desperately wanted to meet Evan he refused to leave my side or let go of my hands until they'd gotten my hemorrhage under control and stitched me back up. My MIL was snapping photos of the first few minutes, but I wish I had given her my nice camera to use!</p> <p>What was your DH's reaction to meeting your LO? Were you surprised by it? </p>
