Hold a Preparing Ritual
In addition to being a great way to get things you need for your baby, a Preparing Ritual is also a chance to prepare yourself emotionally for the fact that you are welcoming a brand new person into your home and family. If you like, you can include this as part of a baby shower celebration.
