In an effort to prepare for the birth of his first child, Pete Wentz started reading “The Expectant Father.” He said the book taught him to talk to Ashlee Simpson’s tummy.
“I talk to it all the time. The Expectant Father tells you that the woman, when she speaks, the baby hears her all the time. And the father’s voice isn’t familiar unless you talk to it, so I talk to it all the time.”
“It tells you your partner’s moods month-by-month and week-by-week,” says Wentz, who is also getting advice from both his father and Joe Simpson. “It tells you why you’re feeling the way you are, how you can feel more involved in the pregnancy.”
And while Ashlee often has cravings for ice cream, pickles and green olives, everything is “going well,” says Wentz.
Pete finished the interview by threatening the world with more of his spawn: “This is the first one so we’ll have to base the next one on how we do on the first one.”
