Don’t worry about it. It’s your own trip, you can do it your own way.

Well put.

Was nice to meet you astrojax, hope everything goes smoothly for you and astress-to-be.

Forget sleeping – go and see a stack of movies, expensive dinners out and theatre nights. You might not get to do any of those for quite some time after the baby arrives.

Then again, you probably won’t care too much about that stuff anyway.

It’s all good. Don’t worry about it. It’s your own trip, you can do it your own way. It’s not the end of life as you know it; actually, the contrary is probably more true.

Relax and enjoy!

go and see a stack of movies

If the mum-to-be is beyond 6-7m, then sitting for long enough to watch a movie will get more and more difficult (not to mention making it through a movie without a loo break). Take a few pillows and expect some fidgeting.

I agree with Sepi; and I also think it is a mistake to overload on sleep pre-birth, as you will find it even harder to manage if you are used to loads and loads of sleep. May as well get used to going without sleep now, so that it isn’t too much of a shock!

astro, one sage bit of advice i got, prior to the birth of my first child, is to sleep now! sleep in! often! once the littlie comes along, those lazy sunday sleep ins are over. I have never felt so tired in my life. But they are a great source of fun, love and I wouldn’t give them up for anything. Enjoy every day with them, they will teach you the important things in life, and that includes no desire to work late…

Way to go, astro!! I bet the bridesmaid’s are miffed when you beat them to the bouquet at weddings …. *chuckle*

You will be the best dad! It’s so exciting!
