We’ve gotten a lot of questions on the podcast about how we are planning for postpartum for baby #5. It didn’t seem like a big enough topic to do an entire podcast on, so we thought we would do a fast and zippy KZitem video. The truth is we’ve gone through this quite a few times now and there’s not a lot that we do.
However, the ways we DO prepare for postpartum are very, very important to both of us. We want to make sure that we are set up for after the baby comes, when we are both tired and there is a lot going on. Making sure we have already communicated our expectations and know what to expect allows for a lot smoother transition.
The number one tool we use in preparing for the postpartum season is the expectation translator. It’s a tool we came up with to do just that, to translate our expectations to and for one another. There is nothing worse than unmet expectations. Un-communicated expectations are bound to result in unmet expectations. Knowing our expectations and ideal outcomes for each other and the worst case scenario if things go completely wrong, has been so important for us.
We’ve done these different steps we share today for our past three babies and it’s made a big difference! We have created a culture that embraces baby life. It is nothing but joy and excitement around here as we get ready to welcome baby #5 into our family! :)
