Expecting couples are usually equally scared and excited for the birth of their bundle of joy. More so for first-time parents who receive all forms of advice and horror stories from experienced parents. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed and forget a few things along the way, but don’t worry. Here are a few reminders for couples who feel at a loss while waiting for their baby to arrive:
1 – Read Non-Baby Related Books
During the first trimester take the time to read a book that has nothing to do with your baby and how to take care of them together. There’s more than enough time to read all the baby books in the near future. So use the first few weeks to read any book you’ll both enjoy.
2 – Go On A Trip Together
Use these last couple of months alone to bond and reconnect as a couple because when the baby arrives it can be hard to find some alone time just for the two of you.
3 – Consider A “Babymoon”
If a short road trip isn’t enough, plan a “babymoon” instead! This is basically like a honeymoon, but it’s more just to savor the time where you and your partner can relax without worrying over dirty diapers and feeding schedules.
4 – Commemorate Your Bump
When your baby bump starts to show do something fun and creative to remember the moment. A baby bump cast, a photoshoot, or a pregnancy ornament are all excellent ideas worth exploring.
5 – Build A Fort
There is nothing more fun than acting like kids before your baby arrives. Bond with your partner and enjoy acting like children when you build a pillow fort at home and spend the night watching movies and even falling asleep inside the fort.
6 – Host A Dinner With Friends
There’s no denying that when your baby arrives they will take up most, if not all of your time. Gather all of your closest friends and host a dinner so that you can spend time with them before your schedule gets super busy with baby-related responsibilities.
7 – Go On A Date Night
New parents usually never find time to get dressed up and go on a date which can put a damper on romance. So make sure to have a romantic and fancy date night where you both have to dress up before your baby arrives.
8 – Remember The Little Things
Whether it’s getting a pregnancy ornament or buying a crib, these are all special moments worth remembering, no matter how small or silly they may seem. Stopping to reminisce and remember your journey as a couple is a sweet and sentimental moment for expecting parents.
9 – Prepare The Baby’s Room
Spend time with each other while also getting some chores done by preparing and fixing up the baby’s room. It’s a wonderful time where you and your partner can talk and dream about your baby’s future while also ensuring everything at home is ready for their arrival.
Love and cherish your partner before and after your baby is born because you will need each other to survive the long nights ahead.
