Lifestyle Changes, or Stating the Obvious

Your baby's arrival will transform just about everything you think, say, and do. This sea change is usually most evident with first-time parents, who up until now have been enjoying the child-free pursuits of quiet dinners, R-rated movies, and even the occasional wild night out with the girls or boys. Even those moms and dads who are expecting a second or subsequent child will have big adjustments ahead with new challenges like siblinghood and advanced parental multitasking (for example, encouraging one child to use his napkin while preventing the other from eating hers). Don't look on it as an end but rather as a new and infinitely more rewarding chapter in your life. You will even find some family pastimes you have never considered before.
