 Are you a new parent, or about to become a new parent? Nothing compares
to bringing your first baby into the world. Many new parents experience an
overwhelming rush to prepare for their new baby in many ways. This preparation
includes everything from buying baby furniture, clothes, and diapers, to
learning the baby lingo like aspirator, rotavirus, and layette, to name only a
few.
In the USA, the resources available to "parents to be" are tremendously
abundant. Resources range from Labor and Delivery classes to books and magazines
on every parenting topic imaginable.
Many "parents to be" get caught up in all the "doing" prior to a new baby's
arrival, spending most of their pregnancy taking child preparation classes,
reading how to raise and care for your new baby books and magazines, and
learning the baby lingo so the right baby equipment can be purchased.
Unfortunately, getting caught up in all the "doing" can interfere with the
"being" part of our preparation. Preparing for what I like to call the "4th
Trimester" is about preparing emotionally and mentally. In creating a fulfilling
life with your baby, it is critical that you take the time to stop and look at
your feelings, think through the incredible change that is about to occur in
your life, ask yourself powerful life changing questions, and begin to take
steps that will ensure your life with your new baby is even more fulfilling than
life before baby.
Coaching Inquiries: How can I be more emotionally ready for a new baby? What
do I want to make sure are part of my life after the baby arrives? How would I
describe a fulfilling life with my new baby?
