Having a baby is a highly anticipated event and most parent-to-be plan ahead for their new arrival. The evidence of this planning can be seen through gift registries, baby showers and prenatal class attendance.
I'm 23 weeks pregnant, and I'm finding it more and more strange thatthough my baby is kicking like mad daily, and I'm being able to see her kicks already, that I'm not showing,.... at least to me.
After having already had three children and a houseful of dogs and cats I pretty much thought I was prepared for our fourth baby, Kelsyann. I'm an experienced Mom right?!? This should be easy.
Well boy was I wrong! From the beginning Kelsyann has been a needy baby. Nothing that worked with the others seemed to work for her. This has been interesting, frustrating and challenging at best!
Once, while deep in the throes of a mid-morning play date, a few fellow moms and I bravely challenged one another to make a list of the "super" characteristics that we were trying to embody. We called it the "Super-Mom List" and spent a few days reflecting on trying to fit into mom-sized superhero costumes.
Your baby's skin is pink to reddish in color and wrinkled. Although the baby is thin, his/her movements are becoming stronger. The baby's eyes are closed, however he is capable of crying. The brain is undergoing rapid growth.
As moms-to-be (or those still trying to become one), there are a few basics that we would love to have from our partners. Learn how you can achieve these goals as you meet the Pregnancy Partners -- our "Blokes, Babies, and You" team!
The custom of celebrating a new baby has been around for centuries. Although the times have changed and traditions differ from one culture to another, the central purpose of baby showers remains the same: to share in the joy of an expectant couple's upcoming arrival and help them prepare for their new lives as parents.
Especially during pregnancy, it's usually best to keep it simple, healthy, and pure. Here's our simple approach -- with help from the ABC's -- to plan a baby shower that celebrates the life and health of the baby, as well as the Earth she'll be living on.
