Does DH buy anything for the baby?
I am 29 weeks and DH has not bought one item for the baby. I have been buying everything, researching everything and making all the decisions.
I really feel like he should have some type of interest.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
DH just bought a little Phish onesie and a stuffed MINI for the baby this weekend. These were really the first baby-related things he has bought (I'm almost 21 weeks). We found out the gender on Friday and since then, he has been showing more of an interest with everything.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
All my DH has actually bought for the baby is a tie dye onesie. He barely shops for himself so I can't see him voluntarily going out and getting stuff for the baby (at least not till shes here). He shows interest in other ways though, talking to the baby, playing guitar for the baby, and talking about what activities he is looking forward to doing with the baby once she's born. Every one is different and shows their involvement in different ways.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
whenever we are out TOGETHER and shopping - we'll split (usually) if we're buying clothes or other items....
him being out himself and buying something? this happened recently and made me cry.... he went to his first game at the new Yankee stadium and got her a pink baseball bat pen....he was GOING to get her the pink foam finger - but i HATE the yankees - so he didn't want to get her anything "large".

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
I did ALL the research on the big items. Car seats, bouncers, high-chairs, swings, etc. I was also a big part of picking out the furniture (and assembling everything....   )
I don't buy a whole lot of clothes (either as newborns, or now), but I am involved at least partially in any of DC's "items". We all went to pick out a booster seat for DS over the weekend, for example.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
He speaks to the baby and talks about him, but has never bought something and I just feel like he isn't as excited as I am.
He really isnt the type to go out and buy me something just for the heck of it- so I guess I should expect it. I just wish he would.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
Neither of us have bought anything, we've been getting so much from other people already and I'm having two showers so we're going to get tons more.
As for researching baby items, I do most of it but DH definitely had a say in the big stuff (stroller, car seat, furniture, etc).

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
No and I dont expect him to.
He's not a shopper.
Someone at work gave them an extra baby bjorn they had. He was very excited to come home with that. That is the closest he will probably come to shopping
I'm doing all the research too.
His research on cribs involves shaking them and seeing how sturdy they are
he is registering with me and had a say in the big ticket items like stroller, furniture, car seat

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
Poor DH didn't have much say in anything. I registered with my mom, and I didn't think he would mind at all but he was curious about strollers and such. I felt bad actually after the fact. He wanted the Baby Bjorn and I made sure that I put it on the registry for him. He also wanted a jogging stroller but with the travel system and a light-weight umbrella stroller, I thought that would be too much. Maybe I'll get him the Jeep one he liked for Father's Day.
Other than that, he really hasn't bought anything himself for DD.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
He has not gone out and bought anything by himself, no. but he came with me to register and furniture shopping etc.
When we found out the gender, we went to BBB and bought an outfit that he picked out.
He doesn't really shop but he is excited and interested in the baby in lots of other ways.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
DH is just itching to get something for the baby. We are waiting until the second trimester to buy stuff since we announced so early and dont want to jinx anything.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
He's bought more for the baby than I have. He bought our son his first Yankees shirt and a little Yankee hat.
He's also been looking at clothes online with the team logos that he likes (Yankees, Giants, Rangers). He mentioned getting a Giants outfit for the baby when we go to Croxley's. 
I'm more focused on finishing our registry and looking at furniture. He definitely has a say in those things, but he's letting me take the lead in those areas.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
Aww he will when it gets closer. DH didn't buy anything until recently. Now I can't stop him. He is constantly texting me pictures of things that he wants to buy. But, I don't think he started until like 34 weeks.
As far as the research. Good luck with that one. That was all me. I don't think a guy has it in his DNA to be that thourough. DH just wanted the stroller that said "jeep" on it and he didn't want a chick diaper bag. That was the extent of his input. And I'm married to a really sensitive guy too!

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
DH was out the other day and bought the baby little spiderman booties (of course this made me cry). My DH will kiss my stomach and talk to the baby, so I know he is excited, but when it comes to buying things or researching things, I don't think he knows where to even begin.

Re: Does DH buy anything for the baby?
My DH bought 2 baby-related things for christmas- 2 days before we tested to see if IVF worked for us.
He bought a precious moments of a mom rocking her baby girl and a "baby's first year" frame with all the different month slots in it.
He has not bought anything since- probably because we are team green, though. He always tells me he can't wait to use his camo diaper dude that I bought him, and when we were at Target the other night we were passing the baby aisle and HE actually turned to look at all the cute stuff. That surprised me!
