talking to the foot

moms get to have all the fun - eating whatever they want, gaining weight and looking cute, priority seating wherever they go...oh, and hours of labor culminating in what dads can only imagine is like trying to swallow a cabbage patch doll.

what does this daddy want most? the opportunity to communicate and commune with his baby boy. but HOW? the other day, momma said, "he's kicking! come feel." sure enough, baby continues to announce his presence by fidgeting, wiggling, and pushing. ah, what's a dad to do...? well, this dad pushed back and behold; a foot, perhaps an elbow, or a baby's bottom. beneath mommy's skin, daddy can FEEL his unborn child's body and, more significantly, baby can feel the touch of his father's hand.

"there, there, baby...daddy's here, too."
