Dad-to-Be, you've got a lot of things to take care of between now and the time your baby arrives. There are things around the house that need to be assembled, moved, painted or fixed. But remember, until that baby actually arrives, you are still just a guy with a pregnant wife.

Pregnancy is supposed to be a "magical time," but you will need to work a little magic of your own. You need to spoil her when the only other thing that is getting spoiled is her good night's sleep. Love her, appreciate her, surprise her and celebrate her. Going the extra mile for her speaks volumes about where your heart is.

To help you pull this off, I have asked my wife, Charlotte, a mother of two, and a crack team of our currently and formerly pregnant friends to advise you on how to plan and participate in a series of very fortunate events during the next nine months or so. Get inspired – and then get busy.

Well, obviously, the word of the month is "celebrate!" No champagne or soft cheeses for the mother-to-be, but everything else is an option. Balloons? Flowers? A fancy or favorite meal? Yes. Whether it is a night on the town or a romantic night at home, make sure she knows just how happy you are to be along for this particular ride. And don't let it end without a small gift for her and/or the baby, just to seal the deal.
