Becoming a working parent will also have practical implications. Your morning routines must be reworked and the end of the day will be about bath, bed, and feeding. As wonderful as the arrival of the new child will feel, it will be disorienting to be out of your regular routines and learning new responsibilities. When a new child arrives, a parent is born. Your new child is just beginning to learn about their environment. You, too, are getting to know the world again from a different perspective.

Eventually, you will become less and less disoriented. You will return to work and reach a new normal where all things will start to fit into a more predictable pattern and routine. But finding a new normal takes time. Diving into the 10 touchpoints in these chapters will give you the tools (and help you recognize the ones you already have) to navigate this exciting time as it unfolds.
