My partner and I are expecting our first in December and very excited but not quite sure of what to expect or… how to do any of it, really. What resources helped you when you were first diving into parenthood?

f you have any communication difficulties with your partner, now is a really good time to work on them. The first few weeks involve a decent amount of sleep deprivation for most, which puts a lot of people on edge and can lead to more fighting than usual. Having kind, consistent communication with your partner can help alleviate potential fights.

Oh man, this 1000%. My wife and I did daily check ins after our kid was born and it helped us a lot to say the things we needed to say and get off our chest (like "what have we done?"). It's an open, honest space for you both.
