To Index Page | Waiting for the Stork Preparations for the little one on the way, a Dad's guide |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This web page is for the dad who is cruising around on the internet trying to figure out what to do after he has made his little contribution to the who pregnancy process. There are some things you can still do and I have the resources here to help get you there. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| -Check Day Care/Child Care -Have the contact handy for ordering the Hershey?s Chocolate announcements -Have the contact information handy for the yard sign for the day the family comes home from the hospital. -Babys R Us registry and on-line shopping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There is also the important part as well, getting the internet site ready to put the pictures on. I used GEOCITIES for free. The space does have a limit, but this helps you be efficient with your picture management. Go to www.oocities.org and sign up for free and start by putting up the "expectant mother" progress pictures so relatives and friends can watch her "grow and glow" as I like to say. I have this set up for Austin, but you can find out locally elsewhere for Texas Day Cares and the yard sign idea is more than likely national. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Day Care/Child Care search with inspection results and history | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/child_care/search_texas_child_care/ppFacilitySearchDayCare.asp | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My recommendation here is to find a facility that may have violations, but check closely to see what they are. If it is something blatant and inherently dangerous, scratch that one from your list. Also check out the locations to see if they are in industrial areas where there may be a hazardous environment so that an industrial accident would not spill over into the daycare. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HerSheIs and HereHeIs link for ordering chocolate Hershey bars for day of birth. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| http://wrappedhersheys.com/Default.asp?bhcd2=1082558120 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These are great to give out to friends and family and take no time at all. The cigars can be given to a few people if you really need to do that, but order a lot of chocolate to give to everyone. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Here is the yard sign you get. You usually get to keep the little "Package" that the stork holds and the company will keep the stork to rent out again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
