Nice Things To Do for the Mom-to-Be

Your partner is working hard! She's growing a new life within her and paying the price in weight gain, swollen extremities, upset stomach, and fatigue.

• Give her a foot massage and rub her back
• Cook her favorite meal
• Take her out to her favorite place to eat
• Help her finish (or do it yourself and surprise her) decorating the nursery, especially if it needs to be painted or wallpapered
• Throw her a baby shower
• Take her to a movie or rent her favorites and bring them home
• Take the kids out for a couple of hours so she can just relax
• Help her out around the house so she doesn't have much to do
• Do some last minute errands she might have
• Take her away for the weekend or on vacation before the baby arrives (you might not be able to do this again for awhile)
• Volunteer to help shop and prepare meals the first week the baby is home
