§ Journey
Nobody really prepares you for this.
Third trimester to the first three months with a newborn. Hospital bag and the go plan. What you'll be asked to do at the birth. The 4am rotation. Why the relationship with your partner shifts and what conversations to have early. The bare minimum that keeps you yourself. The boring paperwork that protects everything else.
Begin →Hospital bag, car seat install, the go-plan, and which jobs actually need doing before week one.
What happens at hospital, what you'll do, what's normal to feel, and what not to film.
Sleep, feeding, the 4am rotation, and where your job actually starts and hers ends.
Partner, mates, parents. The conversations to have early so the cracks do not become canyons.
Sleep, training, work, headspace. The bare minimum to stay recognisable to yourself.
Parental leave, birth certificate, Medicare, childcare waitlists. The Australian admin in plain English.
