Having a hard time!

So im 25+2 but my baby boy is two weeks almost 3 weeks ahead. I am a single parent ftm. I have tried to fill the dad in on everything sending him ultrasound pictures informing him on the baby's development and no answer from him regardless. I know why but still you would think he'd at least answer in regards of our son. Every time I look at my son's 3d ultrasounds i just got Tuesday he resembles his dad he's at the stage where you can tell what he'll look like at birth. But every time I look at it I see his dad and break down.  I don't love him its the thought he is choosing his gf over his baby and its in the back of my head that he wanted abortion because of her. I just wish he would communicate with me especially that there is a chance if my baby keeps measuring big they'll induce me in early may. He hasn't helped get clothes and my mom and sister bought his travel system and now since hes not stepping up my family is having to help me get his other stuff not fair for my family have to pick up his slack. I'm so tired of the bulsh*t from him.  Am I over reacting and should just let his dad come to me in april like he said? Would I be wrong to not accept him and let him be in the room while his son is born? He walked away at 18 weeks haven't seen him since before Christmas.  
     The guy I am interested in is willing to go to birthing classes with me and even be by my sidewhen my son comes.  WOuld that be wrong?  Hes been there for me in the last 3 weeks than my son's father has he even lays down with hhis hand on my belly to feel my lil man move. Its cute in a away.. sorry so long I needed to get thIs off my chest.

Thanks ladies for the advice. Im doing the best I can going through this alone but with support from my family and Tommy. Im just the type of person that gives chances and just want what's best for my son. I grew up without my dad but there are reasons for that but I want my son to have his bio dad. I will be taking him to court for child support and custody.

Honestly I went through the same thing with my oldest daughter and in my opinion if he wanted to be there at the birth then he should be there through the whole pregnancy not just part of it and I say in my opinion if the other guy wants to be there through it all then let him bc going through pregnancy can be hard on a woman whos doing it on their own let alone through labor alone .... I wouldn't force it but theres not very many men out there that step in and wanna be apart of this type of situation without the child being theres ... I fortunately for u it sounds like you have found one of those few good men as well as I have .... good luck but just leave ur baby daddy alone abd see how long it takes for him to come around

I would just surround yourself with people who love and care for you.  Omit the rest of the people who aren't supportive or positive, and don't give them anymore of your energy.  You have more than enough to keep you occupied with out a drain on your resources.  :) There is no reason for you to feel guilty for making healthy decisions for you and your baby.  Good luck!

Honestly, if he isn't there for you during your pregnancy I feel he has no right to be there for the birth either. And if he is and he continues in his ways, it'll just hurt you more. If he wanted to be a father he would be there for you. If the new man in your life wants to take over a father role for another man's baby, he's a keeper. Just saying. :)
