During the final stage of pregnancy, reality starts to set it. You can feel that change is in the air, and you may wonder whether you’re prepared — emotionally and physically — to deal with it. This chapter gives you advice on how to best prepare for Baby’s arrival, what you may experience during your hospital stay, and how to ease into that transformation from pregnant to parent. Many moms-to-be experience a nesting phase late in pregnancy, during which they can concentrate on little else aside from preparing a home for Baby. And good thing, because you simply will not believe how much stuff a baby needs, not to mention how much he will acquire in the form of gifts over his first few weeks of life. Your home, once a sanctuary for your most beloved material goods, will become Baby’s storage locker. Soon enough, baby clothing, diapering supplies, toys, bottles, pacifiers, and props (his swing, stroller, and bassinet) will be the only visible items in your house — and the only things you’ll care about, anyway.

You need a washable blanket (ideally two), and at least three to four crib or cot sheet in cotton or flannel. Pillows, quilts,  and comforters are not advisable for babies under a year old. Avoid sheepskins, baby nests/sleeping bags, electric blankets, and hot-water bottles, since these can overheat your baby as can crib bumpers (which your newborn could  also get caught in). The mattress can be made of foam, natural or hollow fibers, or have a sprung interior. It should fit the crib snugly to avoid spaces in which a baby could get trapped. The cover must be easy to clean; polyester is ideal. (continue reading…)

Moses basket story comes from Exodus 2 1-10. In it, Moses is left in a basket amid the reeds and bulrushes along the Nile, in Egypt where the Hebrews had been living since the time of Jacob. By the end of Exodus 1, the pharaoh of Egypt Ramses II had decreed that all the Hebrew boy babies were to be drowned at birth. In the 10 verses from Exodus 2, Moses' mother, hides her newborn baby for 3 months and then places her in a caulked wicker basket in the Nile River reeds. The baby's crying alerts one of the pharaoh's daughters who takes the baby. Moses' sister Miriam watches in hiding, but comes out when it is clear the princess is planning to keep the baby. She asks the princess if she would like a Hebrew midwife. The princess agrees and so Miriam arranges to have the real mother get paid to nurse her own child who now lives among the Egyptian royalty. This story is similar to that of the Romulus and Remus left in the Tiber, but sans basket, and to that of Sumerian king Sargon I left in a caulked basket in the Euphrates. (continue reading…)
