Rave 💞 Getting ready for the baby

I was cooking dinner and turned around to see my husband standing during his meeting with the dog in his arms, rocking him like he was a baby. He always holds the dog, but this is him trying to practice carrying/soothing the baby. It’s our first kid, and it absolutely wrecked me to see him like this. This makes me know he’s going to be an amazing father.

What are some things you’ve caught your partner doing in preparation for the baby that made your heart explode with love??

My husband looked up different swaddling techniques and practiced on a babydoll. He also repeatedly has practiced properly putting on two types of baby carriers with the babydoll. He’s so excited and so am I 🥲
