We recently just had a baby and your words are much more important than many people think. The number one hardest thing has been keeping time for our relationship. The baby get all the attention and time and there isn't much left for us. Try and find time for your wife. And it really does all go so very fast. It seems like just the other day she couldn't hold her head up and now she can almost walk! Every day is something new.

Thanks for the tips. Is there anything specific to having a newborn that you've found can help your wife feel appreciated and cared for?

I would just say make sure she knows she is loved and appreciated. Its hard because all the attention will be on the baby from you, from her, and from anyone else that comes around.

You know her best so make some special time for you and her. For my wife and myself we found special time during the odd hours of the night when baby was feeding to just sit and talk and be together even though we were exhausted.

It really is a magical time and sharing it together makes it even better.
