After being placed on bed rest thanks to my unexpected emergency visit to the Hospital at 26 weeks, I found myself with a crazy amount of time on my hands. While I usually filled my days with chores and the occasional walk around the block/store, my remaining months would now be filled with lying in bed. I admit the first two days were heavenly but around day three boredom struck and I needed to create a plan on how to constructively use my time.
Being a first time mom and away from family I have found it a tad stressful in trying to figure out all the ends and ties to preparing for a baby. I figured the best solution was ultimately to take these next couple of months to further educate myself on what to expect in not only the remaining weeks of pregnancy but also what to expect during Nicholas’s first year.
Though I have gained a great amount of knowledge and confidence over the last couple of weeks I am far from being an expert. There’s no way to be completely prepared for your bundle of joy and the reality is that babies don’t always go “by the book.” With that said these series are based off of the book What to Expect: The First Years but in case you don't have a copy or are just looking to broaden your already knowledgeable mind, these series of postings are just for you. Just as every baby is different, every parent is different as well.
What you can look forward to…
Series One – Get Ready, Get Set
Series Two – Buying for Baby
Series Three – Labor and Delivery
Series Four – The First Year Diaries
