Phone Numbers
Talk with your wife about the people that she wants to call when it’s time to go to the hospital. Put important numbers on speed dial, Her mom, your mom, her best friend or sister. There is not a more important time in our lives. When a baby is born, everyone that you know and care about has to be contacted. Hopefully most of them will be with you during the big moment. Be sure to call everyone on an ongoing basis and let him or her know the progress of the baby and how things are coming along. They will be happy to receive the update and it can build up a great deal of anticipation and excitement.
When you think that it’s time for the baby to come, give the hospital a call to let them know that you think it’s time that you need to come see them. They will ask you a few questions about the timing of the contractions so they know what to prepare for when you arrive. Go visit the hospital in advance and pre-register several weeks before you expect the baby, this will save you time and frustration at the hospital on the birthday of your new child.
