Do you have your birth-plan worked out with your family and obstetrician (nurse-midwife)?

Does your baby have a family?
That last point might seem odd, but inasmuch as we plan with such detail about every other aspect of our newborns life, sometimes we overlook the most basic thing: your baby needs a family. Im not going to delve in to the political hot-potato of single moms having kids, Im simply going to advocate for a family for your baby. If youre married, this means a husband for you and a daddy for your child.
The goal of parenting is not to simply avoid excessive anxiety, but it is to create a world of confidence by what we do with each other as much as what we avoid doing. Weak marriages do not build strong families, nor do they infuse the hearts of children with confidence and security. And isnt that last phrase what we want most for our babies? The best years of parenting flow out of the best years of a marriage. Protect your relationship and youll raise happy, healthy children as a result.

So before you begin parenting this new little one who will be so precious to you and your family, take some time to consider the state of your marriage. If you need to work on it, start now: your baby will sense and respond to stress in your home and your body more than you might realize.
