Your on Baby Time Now

When we were pregnant and we had a few months left it was a blur of feelings. Some exciting some scary and some worried we would have trouble figuring it all out. As time grew closer to the due date we spent time up talking about what we were going to do in the delivery room and fixing up the baby's room . I can't tell you how many stickers I put up in her room trying to make it as pretty as possible. During all this planning time together gets a little lost with all the family and friends getting ready for the big day and prepping the house it's a lot of work. Remember to spend time together before the delivery and make it count. It doesn't need to be planned just be together and let each other know you are there for one another. Trust me both of you are at some point going to need hug and someone to tell you all will be ok. As a team parents are much stronger than one versus one. I am talking about the infamous I did it last time quote of course and that is very easy to fall into. Think ahead and ask yourself as a dad or mom does it matter who did it last and the answer is no . Your both there to help each other and not to take turns. Also a little extra help never hurt anyone. The baby's time is all the time but you can make time for each other to keep that strong bond. It's not hard to do in the beginning because the first few days normally both parents are off together but keep that mindset going. If one of you works during the day remember raising a baby is vary hard work and consumes most of your time. My household works the same way but with a twist I and my spouse work opposite shifts and at night for 12 hours. When one of us is off the other is at work so it is a little more one person show during the day everyday but we both help each other out as much as possible. That shows your spouse you are there to help no matter what. Remember to make time for each other as well. It's hard for us but the hour or so a day we are together is all about family. We take vacations together and spend time together whenever possible. If both parents spend time together with the baby things just seem to work out better. So alsways think about what's best for the family and love one another. It does get easier.
