Daddy-o
Top five things Jon says to the baby girl in my belly:
5. “When are you coming out???”
4. “I am the Papa!”
3. “What are you doing in there?”
2. “Fat, fat, fat for baby’s brain!”
and, my very favorite:
1. “I want to know what kind of ice cream you like and who your favorite team is.”
Isn’t he cute? Here is my favorite quote from him today about me:
“You’re so awesome. I love how bulbous you are.” (I take this as a compliment!)

Ann, I think you have to explain #2. Why would I say “fat for baby’s brain”?

Jon, you say “fat for baby’s brain” because she needs fat to build up the myelin in her brain that connect her synapses. So, I’ve been eating good omega-3 fats, and yummy chocolate fats. :) We’ve heard that eating chocolate during pregnancy makes a happy baby, so we thought we’d give it a try.

It’s not to connect the synapses, it’s to coat the dendrites as insulation to aid their electrical conductivity.
Happy baby! Happy baby! Happy baby!

Maybe I need more fat for my brain so I can remember that dendrite thing. :)

By the way, thanks for writing a post about me. It makes me feel like the Papa!

I liked reading your conversation about eating chocolate regularly to get good dendrites (whatever!). I think I’ll go get some chocolate and be happy!
