I felt it was more appropriate to do a 3 card spread then a week to come spread. The reason is that a week to come only gives me information on the week ahead and being a father of 1 with another on the way ( 38 weeks as of yesterday ) i felt it was better to get a more general scope of the question.
Past 7 of cups The artist
imaginiation, day dreams, having thoughts of fancy
Present Knight of cups / inverted The knight
deceptive person, falsehoods, a scam
Future 4 of sword rest
renewed vigor, a return to daily life and events, activity.
Note: I get the feeling this is your first child ( Though I'm not sure why ) And with your first child comes many joys and tribulations. Many that can linger in the air for days only to turn pungent and foul if not refreshed mentally. Its good to be happy for the new baby to come but don't allow your self to become a self victim of mental abuse if things don't go perfectly smooth every step of the way. Breath and push the thoughts of negativity away because the child is still mentally linked to you an can feel every thing you feel.
I don't foresee any physical problems to come but i do see the possibility of mental problems if they aren't nipped in the butt quickly. These mental problems are most likely many the same i personaly did battle with with the birth of my first child. Stress is your worst enemy to come and it will take shape from a lack if sleep, peace and personal freedoms.
Take my advice to heart and don't scoff at anything you may think is small or insignificant because it can blow up into an outrages monster. You picked the bear which is then native American belief system symbolized medicine and some times the mother. I also see its in your user name so i can assume it has some special meaning to you and in this case i see that meaning as being helpful towards the greater goal.
Just remember to take time to relax EVERY chance you get other wise you will over work yourself. Give the child to a friends of family member for a night when ever you can so you can regain your self, you'll need those few hours of self restoring rest to return to your job as a mother. If you can do this then in time things will return with a sense of normalcy and you'll be able to regain the life you've been forced to hold back on.
Advice: As a father my self i can give a few pointers you might want to consider
#1 NEVER keep the house quite with sleeping baby, This seems like madness i know BUT think of it like this way. We did it from day one with our daughter and we never had a problem getting her to go to sleep if we wanted to watch tv or play the radio.
#2 Don't baby the baby. Ok this sounds a lot worst then it really is BUT as soon as the baby starts trying to grab things try and make them hold the bottle as much as you can.( with help of course ) with time they will learn to hold the bottle by them selves even if they can't grab or pick other things up. With our daughter she was holding her bottle at almost 11 weeks. And at 3 months she was able to move it to her mouth and hold it with out help.
#3 Your not a bad mother to leave her in a room alone if you have to calm down. just make sure the baby's in a safe warm place where they cant squirm out of or hurt them selves. Put some music on low and relax for a while. So long the child is taken care of and safe if you feel your about to snap or are getting angry ( and trust me you will ) now is the time to take a step back and calm your self. You cant take care of a child if your to upset to take care of your self
#4 if your other half is able to, take shifts sleeping. Me and my wife did it for 2 months and it helps more then you would think.
Also is it a girl ?
