I think it finally clicked for H today.

I posted a while ago about how it's seemed like he's not all that into the pregnancy and soon to be DD.  He just wasn't connecting the way I have been.  I think today it clicked. 

H started painting the nursery today.  After a bit, he yelled for me to come in and said, "So, I know this might be kinda cheesy, but I just realized I'm painting my daughter's room.  My first daughter.  Can you maybe take some pictures of this and of me painting so we have them later?"

I just got home (he is at our new place, we move next weekend) and he texted me this:

E is DD's first initial.  My heart is exploding today.  I'm just so happy that he's having a moment where he can feel connected to her and to being a dad.  Tearing up over here!

Aw, that's super super sweet!!! Even as the pregnant one, I sometimes feel like it's hard to emotionally connect with the fact this is really truly happening and we're going to be parents sometime in the next few months. It's really emotional to realize it, and awesome to see it in your spouse.
