Preparing to Add a Baby to the Family?

Are you and your partner expecting a new baby? Whether this is your first or subsequent child, the addition of a new little one is both exciting and challenging. Everything changes when a new child enters a family! Especially with the first child, the couple’s relationship undergoes major transitions, and it can be a good idea to prepare for the changes to come!

What Can You Do?

For the Readers:

If you and your spouse are readers, consider ordering a copy of And Baby Makes Three: The Six-Step Plan for Preserving Marital Intimacy and Rekindling Romance After Baby Arrives and reading it together. As you prepare for baby’s arrival, take time to preserve marital intimacy and learn how to rekindle romance after baby arrives!

For the Doers:

If you and your spouse are doers, you may want to consider registering for the Bringing Baby Home program by Dr. John Gottman, a renown couple’s therapist and researcher, introduced in the video on the left.
