As you have probably guessed, there are plenty of things you will need to buy in the coming months. While you, or more likely your partner, may be anxious to do some shopping for the baby's nursery as soon as you find out that a baby is on the way, you should refrain from making any purchases until the 5th or 6th month.

If you were one of those dads who checked out when you had a parenting partner in the house, now that you’re a single dad you have no choice but to check back in. Depending on your level of involvement in the parenting before you became single, this can either be a somewhat smooth transition, nightmarish task or somewhere in between.

You have most likely gotten used to how quickly accidents can happen with children. The bathroom is no different, now let’s look at five steps you should follow for potty safety.

So, you're a new father or father-to-be.  Let's take as a premise that you are ready and willing to be a father, or at least you think you are. You've resigned yourself to spending way less time out with the boys, putting in less time at the office (and gym and anywhere else you spend time regularly), and following sports with considerably less interest. You think you've prepared yourself, right? Before you cash that check, you're going to need to address the three biggest lifestyle changes that a new father must deal with: forgetting traditional gender roles, losing your self-consciousness, and relating to your baby.

With each day, your partner's belly gets larger and your baby continues to grow... that means that the clock is ticking.  Take advantage of this time to romance each other and relish in the fact that it's just the two of you.  After the baby arrives, life will be a little (a lot) hectic and romance (including sex) will be the last thing on your mind.
