After all these months of me having the baby rabies, DH CANNOT stop bringing up baby things! Everywhere we go: "Well, while we're here babe, do you need to go to _____? They have baby things there to look at." Or " Is there anything here that you want to add to your super secret baby drawer?" (Guilty, I have one of these in a dresser 
)
I find it so adorable. This will be our first month TTC and he's been looking forward to it for months! 
Anyone else's DH?

My husband got baby crazy after our first. He just loves being a father so much, and he even loved just having a baby. We NTNP'd for a few years after her, with no success, and when I told him I thought I was done, he was just heartbroken. He could not stand the thought of never having any more children. So here we are having another!

That is sooo cute! My DH is excited too to TTC but by no means encouraging me to buy MORE and spend more, hehehe.

Yep. Totally. Breaks my heart how sweet he is with newborns and kids.

Yep, after almot 3 years of being very adamant that he didnt want another he's not very, very baby. He texts me name ideas he has sometimes!

I'm six months pregnant and DH still mentions hypothetical baby #3 (AND 4!) I think he needs to relive the newborn days very soon for him to be cured

My youngest is three months old and he's been talking TTC since her delivery. Theoretically it would be nice to have another baby this time next year, but I'm not ready to be pregnant again just yet.

Nope! If it was up to me we would be TTC this September, but DH wants to wait at least another year. I wish he did have baby fever like me because I wouldn't have to hide my craziness so much. 
I am only 28 so we have time, and DH has good reasons for wanting to wait. It is sooo hard though.

My DH is not really a baby person, but he loves loves loves the older baby/toddler phase. He says he'd love to fast forward the first couple of months (nooo!). In my experience a lot of guys are like this, so it always surprises me when someone's DH has baby fever!

Noooooooo. He loves kids, but he's like "NOOOOOOO" and every time people ask us about a sibling for Hyla, he is just like 'DO. NOT. WANT."
I, on the other hand, would like to get pregnant by the end of the year so my baby making days can be behind me.

Not at all. He likes older kids. Even when LO was an infant I would say how sad I was that she wasn't a squishy newborn anymore and he was like "Why?!? I'm not! I can't wait til she gets older and can talk and play with us more!"

that is very cute. DH didn't really exhibit baby fever in those ways, although i know he was excited.

@mrschickpea: My DH is admittedly not looking forward tot he baby stage (he's worried because they're tiny and don't do much lol), but he's getting increasingly more excited for kids!
He's been bringing up being pregnant and having kids a lot in the last few months. It's exciting!
I start my last pack of BCP on Friday! Woot! I have already figured out how I'm going to tell DH when we do get pregnant, crazy? Maybe. Prepared? Definitely! lol.

@lawbee11: My DH is the same way! He's excited to have kids to play with and teach things too. He's even mentioned how great it would be to just have an 8 year old lol. No way, I want the baby!
cantaloupe / 6171 posts
Haha noooo. He points out other cute baby pictures on fb or whatever but he is not ready to try for a second LO anytime soon!

My husband has never had baby fever. Once the baby is here, he's like "oh this is so awesome! I forgot how great this is!"

@Mrs. Jacks: mine is the same as yours. He never really showed many signs of baby fever. And now with our big family i don't think he ever will.
blogger / pineapple / 12381 posts
@Mrs. Train: I think mine is now very done! You can tell he's savoring every last minute-- even volunteering for more middle of the night feeds.
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@lawbee11: D's the same way...he's not excited for another newborn, but he's excited for another toddler/child. If he could skip the newborn-infant stage he would.

We aren't done but DH wants to enjoy our time as family of 4 before adding another.

I think baby fever will hit DH hard after our youngest turns one. He keeps making comments lately about how quickly she's growing up!
pomelo / 5257 posts
I think so! We were watching a movie yesterday, and there was a scene where a dad met his new baby for the first time and my H totally teared up. It was very sweet

Mine is getting there. He keeps bringing up baby names and asking if I like them. But when I asked if he wanted a Christmas baby (i.e. TTC now), he said definitely not. I think he'll be totally there in a couple months.

Yes but more in a "if we don't do this soon I may change my mind" type of way. He has siked himself up for another newborn but worries that if we wait much longer he is going to chicken out. We love our sleep!!

@mrsjyw: hahaha p talked baby 3 while I was pregnant with J too 
No baby fever for either of us! We are SO relieved and happy we're 2 and through.

He has a severe case of baby fever, good thingwe are about to start trying. He has already brought up baby names. He constantly talks about how excited he is for another baby. I do think it is more about expanding our family than having a squishy newborn, though.

Thanks for the replies ladies!
I keep reminding him about all the "us" time we are about to lose lol, just in case. He's like, "I know whatever, I want a baby!" He has no idea what he's asking for IMO, but he comes from a larger family which is something I'm unfamiliar with as mine is tiny.

@nana87: lol, DH does this too! He always points out the weird coincidence that there's ALWAYS a baby sitting next to us wherever we go! Restaurant, line at Target, and even at the car dealership last week while I was waiting for my oil change! It's a running joke now that I the baby whisperer, they always find me!

@MoreCoffee: Ditto w/ my DH. No babe here, but I've noticed it with our close friend's kids. He didn't know what to do with them when they were little, but now that they're 2+ he's right there on the floor with them when they're playing. Its super cute.
