There are a lot of things to expect when you are expecting. The nerve wrecking thought of how painful it is to have a baby. What to expect and what to do still boggles the mind even though you felt that you have read almost all the books of ‘how to’s’ that are available. Having that bundle of joy coming into your life and your husband’s is definitely a gift that is to be nurtured. However, you do not need to stress about the things so much that you will just feel very fatigued even before the baby arrives. You need to plan one thing at a time, from buying baby toddler shoes to the cribs, to the bottles, to the clothing of the baby. Clear your mind from anything that will cause your hormones to shoot up again. Remember, being pregnant also means that your hormones are very unstable. Before the baby arrives, now is your chance to spend time with yourself and your partner. Why not plan a romantic getaway just the two of you? Let us face it, you won’t be alone anymore for a really long time. And even if you decide to be alone together, you still need to consider who will take care of your child. Grab the opportunity and hit the islands just the two of you. Or why not just sit around and update yourself with the latest and watch TiVo? When would you ever have the time again to couch potato in front of the TV with the latest season of your favourite sitcom?
You also need to prepare while you still have the time to look for the line of best paediatricians in town for your baby. Some are too worried about the delivery itself and preparing the nursery room, but after the Obstetrician is done with his or her job, the paediatrician will take over. You can ask your OB some references that they can recommend.
So before thinking of buying baby Dress Shoes that you have been eyeing, just relax and spend time with you but also come prepared.
