Riassunto

Are you ever really prepared for your first child? Or even the second or third? Sure, you've got the nursery set up, the diapers bought, and the pediatrician selected, but you may be shocked, despite your best efforts, at how totally unprepared you are for parenthood!

Oh, Baby! 7 Ways a Baby Will Change YOUR Life the First Year will provide you--the expectant or new parent--with the "real story" about the many surprising ways a new baby will turn your life upside-down. The joys will be plentiful--but so are the challenges! In fact, seven key areas of your life will be impacted--in both wonderful and overwhelming ways--when you have a baby. This book is realistic about how life is changed postbaby. It offers practical advice and sensitive know-how to help survive--and even thrive--in the first year.

Product Description

So, you've bought the cot, you're taking your vitamins and you've got names all picked out...Now, where's that instruction manual? "Oh, Baby!" won't teach you how to change a nappy, but it will give you clues to the changes, joys and challenges that a new baby will bring to your marriage and sense of self, career, friendships, spiritual life and extended family, as well as to the opening of your heart like no other love can. You used to look for restaurants that were ideal for entertaining a client, but now you seek out those that have highchairs and children's menus; while you're shopping for nappies and cot toys your friend is shopping for a trip to Paris; you used to be a two-income family, but now your husband is questioning whether your baby really needs another sleeper. "Oh, Baby!" offers experienced advice and know-how for expectant and new parents, plus practical action steps for developing new coping skills, stories of how other new parents overcame the challenges and discussion questions and communication strategies to head off conflicts between you and your partner so you not only survive, but even thrive during your baby's first year!
