Are you expecting a baby or have you recently welcomed one into the world?  Perhaps your head is swimming a little bit with all the information and stuff that you suddenly have in front of you?

The calm before they're born

As you count the days until your new baby arrives, you’ve probably had a recurring thought running through your mind, “when can I sleep on my belly again?”  If you haven’t been thinking that, perhaps you’ve been wondering if there is anything else you can do to prepare before delivery-day.  Maybe, just maybe, you’re starting to feel a little anxious about the new world of parenting that lies ahead.  Take a deep breath, put your swollen feet up on a chair, and relax.  There are a few tips on how to organize the time you have BB – Before Baby.  Many expectant moms have a good amount of nervous energy during their third trimester.  Some call it “nesting”, some call it “when is this baby coming out?” but whatever it is, let’s put it to good use.

Manage the hospital horde

Sometime after your baby is born, you will be transferred to a magical land called the maternity ward, where complete strangers will help take care of your baby.  They give the first bath, change diapers, watch your little bundle of joy while you sleep, bring you food and give you a foot massage (I wish).  The maternity ward can be a peaceful oasis before you head off to your home and the excitement of bringing home a new baby.  While you are there, consider two steps to make your time in the Maternity Ward as calm as possible and help you get off on the right foot with your baby.  (Click here for more...)
