Week 15: Time to Choose a Name

Daddy, if you and mommy have decided to not know the sex of your baby, you still can decide on his or her name. So crack open a bottle of apple cider, curl up with mommy, and make it a night to name your baby. If you choose to wait until baby is born, that's fine too. Keep in mind, you're choosing your baby's identity, so take the time to get it right.

Week 16: Weight Gain

Daddy, I know you may find yourself packing on just as many pounds as mommy at this point. This is normal. About half of all expectant dads gain up to about 30 pounds during the pregnancy. Awe kindred spirits!

Week 17: Prepare for Childbirth

Daddy, now is the time for you and mommy to sign up for Lamaze or child birth classes. These classes, are usually available at your chosen hospital or other medical facility. Lamaze is full of great information about the process of childbirth and the basics of caring for your new baby. You'll be given pamphlets, possibly a book. Daddy please be attentive, be involved, and be loving!

Week 18: What's For Dinner?

Daddy, you're being the best partner ever! One of the best things you're doing is making sure mommy and baby eat. That's right, daddy, you're on kitchen duty more now than ever. If you're not cooking, I'm sure you've gotten quite acquainted with Uber Eats or Door Dash (smiles).
