Cupid’s Advice:
Whether you’re having a boy or girl, it’s always best to make sure you’re well prepared when you’re expecting. Here’ Cupid’s advice on how to get ready to welcome your baby boy:
1. Go blue: Since you’re having a boy, it’s pretty common to go with a baby blue theme for your son’s nursery. However, if you’re looking to add other colors, different greens and yellows can easily compliment the soft blue.
2. Become the outdoorsy type: If you’re not already a fan of outdoor activities, become one. While not all boys are the same, a vast majority of them lean toward enjoying playing outside, sports or playing with their favorite monster trucks.
3. Exercise: Granted, both boys and girls can keep you on your toes. However, boys tend to be a bit more active. Make sure you get plenty of rest and exercise so you’ll be able to keep up with your little one when he learns to walk and crawl everywhere.
