Advice to expectant fathers #4: fun bonding experiences
Being pregnant can be lots of fun. Here are some suggestions for activities you two can do together:
1. Go to Sea World. Watch the dolphins. Avoid making ANY comparisons between your wife and the whales. This is VERY important.
2. Take pictures of your wife’s midriff at least once a month. Try it from various angles, including lying on the ground, looking up at her from below. If you do this, remember to note the critical day when her belly blocks your view of her face.
3. If photographs aren’t enduring enough, try making a plaster belly cast. It’s a little complicated, but for $30 you can order a complete do-it-yourself kit from www.bellymask.com. When it hardens, after about an hour, you can mount it on your living room or bedroom wall. Or for about $150, you can have your cast artistically decorated by one of a growing number of professional belly casters.
