Early and pre-fatherhood no-no’s

No baby, no creativity, so check out Dadthing.com’s list of lessons learned during pregnancy and early childhood. As an advocate of talking to the belly, I especially liked his first entry:

Never Be Too Tired To Interact With The Belly

No matter how tired you are, if your lady is pregnant and she asks you to feel her belly, or rub her belly, or listen to her belly, or talk to her belly, or lick her belly (OK I made that one up)…do it. Superglue your eyelids open, drink some Red Bull, jog in place, do whatever it takes to stay awake and do it. You are not feeling, rubbing, listening, talking to, or licking just her belly…you are interacting with your unborn child and showing your lady that you are excited about metamorphosing into a Dad. It means a lot to her. Trust me on this one!

I like making up little songs or just chatting with him, but I feel it’s important to talk to pregnant bellies (but only if it’s your child).
