Preparing for a New Arrival

Congratulations, your pregnancy test was positive. Unplanned or not, you may now look forward to queasy mornings, mood swings that verge on bipolar, bad skin and an inability to keep any food down. I’m just kidding, that only happens in the first three months. After that, you may have to guard against gestational diabetes, swollen ankles, and pre-natal paranoia brought about by old wives’ tales from well-meaning friends and family, all the while furnishing the new nursery and worrying how the paint fumes might affect the fetus. Before long, you’ll be able to rattle off the criteria for the best baby monitors, strollers, infant formula in between arguing with the baby’s father over which name is better!
