Here are a few things you can do to celebrate your impending fatherhood while you still have the time:
- Get in loads of unprotected sex (with your partner!).
- Take the vacation of your lifetime. Vacationing won’t be the same for the next 18 years or so — make the most of it now.
- Ponder your own experience growing up and the things you would like your child to experience.
- Sleep in late, cook a leisurely brunch for you and your partner, or go for picnics.
- Splurge on something indulgent, like going to a fancy restaurant or a day spa.
- Start a journal, scrapbook, or blog to document the months leading up to your child’s birth and make it a memento to give your child when she’s older (yes — plenty of good material for an embarrassing 21st birthday slideshow).
- Read up on massage and practice on your partner. Invest in a few good quality aromatherapy oils and some sweet almond oil. (Hopefully, she’ll return the favor!)
