What I'd Tell A Friend Before Baby Arrives

There's no shortage of lists telling you what you need before a baby arrives.

Most are written by people trying to sell you more things.

If I was sitting across the table from a friend preparing for their baby, here's what we'd tell them.

One last thing

There is no perfect way to prepare for a baby.

Some things will matter less than you expect. Some things will matter far more.

The goal isn't to have every item on a checklist or every answer before they arrive.

It's simply to feel a little more prepared, a little more supported and a little more confident in the season ahead.

Take what helps. Leave what doesn't.

You'll find your way.
