Bonding with the fetus

In our newborn care class one of the first topics the instructor went over was bonding with baby and she asked about ways that we’re currently bonding with our babies while still in the womb. I started to snicker. The facilitator looked at Kurt and I. I piped up with, “zerburts and poking at the belly” (zerburts are also known as raspberries). What I didn’t mention was Kurt cupping his hands around my belly nearly every morning and yelling into my belly button. “Sophia, this is your father.” Think of Star Wars and the “Luke I’m your father” line. That’s the tone Kurt takes on. This morning Sophia kicked at his hand when he asked if she was awake. Yep, guess so.
