This is great advice! The only thing I could add, as a woman, is that you need to pamper her the entire 9 months. She will be going through a lot of changes (not all unpleasant). The last few months are the most uncomfortable. If she is on her feet a lot, rub them because she won't be able to reach them.Carry-a-Kimber wrote:Our first child was born about 2 weeks ago; here is my advice for while she's pegnant.
1. Gain more weight than your wife does while she is pregnant, it'll make her less self conscience.
2. Go with the flow, she is going through a lot emotionally, physically, and hormonally.
3. Enjoy quite romantic time now, this will be rare in the near future.
4. Go to the range, hunt, fish, play tennis, whatever it is you "do" NOW. See above.
5. Thank God she isn't pregnant during the summer. Keeping a house 67 degrees in July ain't cheap.
6. Have a "diaper party" it's fun and a good way to say "see you later" to the guys.
7. Sleep now while you can.
Good luck, all that matters is that the baby is healthy and momma is happy.
She will be delivering to you the best gift anyone could get and pampering her those 9 months is such a tiny price to pay. As for baby advice, just love them. The fact that you are asking shows you are aware and you will do fine. They will tell you what they want/need. The first few weeks you will be learning each other's language but eventually you will know what they are trying to tell you with the loud waling and quiet whimpering.
Congratulations to you both!
