[86 of 100] Shut Up, Dad

[Note: I started keeping a diary when my wife and I began trying to have a baby. I’d like to share some of it here.]

April 6, 2017

The other night, I let out a big raspberry into my wife’s belly. She flinched. Apparently she felt the baby flutter. I let out another raspberry, and she flinched again. The baby can hear me! And it likes my voice!

Or maybe it hates my voice.

Either way, it’s nice to know I got a reaction out of the baby. I’m gonna keep it up and “talk” to the baby each night. When it’s born, I wonder if it’ll remember my voice. “Oh yeah, you’re that weird guy who freaked me out every night with your raspberries.”

Yup!

And I’m also your father.
