Getty Images / The Bump Chad and Camie Berry received the gift of a lifetime 14 years ago when they welcomed their daughter, Madisyn, into the world after they'd endured five miscarriages. Today, the proud parents gush over their daughter and are trying to bring the same joy to other expectant moms and dads across the country by hosting sonogram parties at baby showers, venues and the homes of soon-to-be moms and dads.

A sonogram party looks something like this: Finger foods and drinks are passed around the room while the mother-to-be stretches out on an examination table and a technician moves the wand across her belly. Imaging equipment is hooked up to a TV screen or a computer monitor for all the room to see. Guests will get a sneak peek of what the baby-on-board will look like.

Thinkstock / The BumpYou thought you'd be less stressed after New Year's, but not with all the stuff you've got lying around now -- holiday cards, gifts, packaging and old toys baby has ditched for new ones. Organizational gurus share easy tips to get your home back to its normal state (or close to it), pronto.

Don't procrastinate
We get it. You're exhausted after all that holiday cheer, but the longer you take to get back on track, the more likely it is that the clutter situation will get worse before it gets better, says Jill Pollack of Consumed, an HGTV Canada show about decluttering. And especially if you have time off from work, take advantage of those days and get the chores of taking down the decorations and finding places for all the new stuff done now. Moms with busy schedules should "keep the least amount of to-dos on their to-do list," says Pollack.

Shutterstock / The BumpThough Duchess Kate is only in the "very early stages" of her very royal pregnancy, we're already going gaga over what Prince William will be like as a doting dad. From reading bedtime stories together to royal piggyback rides, we've outlined the top six reasons why Prince William will be the most incredible royal dad ever!

1. He already plans to be a "hands-on" dad.
Just when we thought we couldn't swoon for Prince Will any harder, it's been said that the Duke of Cambridge wants to be present in every aspect of his new baby's life -- just like his mom.

2. He's ready to trade in his Royal Air Force duties.
When that little bundle makes its way into this world, the duke will probably make a permanent move to be closer to home and his family. Any dad who's willing to change up his work routine to be closer to his child gets an A+ in our book!

Name predictions for the royal baby

3. We heard he wants to change "nappies."

Photo: Matthew Richmond / The BumpHoliday travel is stressful enough -- but toss babies and kids into the mix? Now you've got the potential for a mind-numbing, stress-inducing, blood-pressure-raising disaster. Having just completed an eight-hour train ride with two kids, one husband, a stroller, a car seat, two suitcases, and backpacks and various other accoutrements in tow, I came up with a few ways to help holiday-haggard moms like me stay moderately sane during the craziest travel time of the year. (Speaking of crazy, those are my kids in the photo, about six hours into the ride.)

Your ability to entertain is the key to your survival
Surprise your child on departure day with some brand-new books and small toys. This is much more effective than bringing along the toys they're used to playing with every day. Anything that your kid hasn't seen before is guaranteed to buy you at least an extra five -- or even 10 -- minutes of entertainment! Distribute these goodies wisely throughout
