Tip Tuesday: Pregnant? Be Prepared: Things you might overlook before baby comes.

When we think of getting ready for baby, we are more than likely concerned with having the nursery looking picture perfect, stocking up on diapers and getting some clothes packed for the hospital. All of the above are important steps to take in preparation for your bundle of joy, but with all there is to prepare for, here are some things you may forget.

• When packing, don't forget about Daddy. He will need the hygiene essentials and some clothes as well. Also, remember to pack some word search books, sudoku, or maybe some hunting/sports magazines to let him know you are thinking of him. You're going to be there for a while and if you need rest, you definitely aren't going to want the television on in your hospital room. This will give your significant other something quiet to do to pass the time.
• Take inventory of what you have in your refrigerator and pantry. As you get closer to your due date, you will want to make sure your kitchen is stocked. If you're feeling ambitous, make some meals in bulk and freeze in portion sizes to make your first week home a little less stressful. The last thing you want to do is go grocery shopping with a newborn.
• Last, but not least...BREATHE! Don't stress about your delivery. Every pregnancy is different and every situation is different. Stay calm and things will go much smoother.

Whether this is your first preganancy or you've done this before... Congratulations Momma!
