Templates for New Parents.

A curated set of 11 spreadsheets — and the guides that go with them — for the first eighteen months that nobody warns you about. Plan the shower without losing your registry, send the right thank-you note to the right cousin, inventory the gear before the next move, and split the chores before the resentment starts.

The logistics no one hands you at the hospital

New parents inherit a small business overnight: a shower to plan, a gift list that grew faster than the thank-you cards, a stroller and a car seat and a video monitor that all need warranties stored somewhere, medical bills that arrive in waves for a year, and a household where two adults suddenly need to renegotiate who does what. The templates in this collection cover that exact reality — the New-Baby & New-Parent Records Binder that keeps growth, milestones, feeding and sleep in one owned file (start free with the First-Weeks Tracker), the shower planner, the gift roster that survives multiple events, the home inventory that prices the gear, and the chore tracker that turns the silent score-keeping into an explicit list.

The reading list below pairs with the tools — including the baby-shower planning guide, the home-inventory case for parents, and the chore system that survives a 4-month sleep regression.
