I would only add:Never...Excellent words of advice. I would only add:<BR/><BR/>Never wake up a baby for feeding. He will wake up when he's hungry. Enjoy that downtime with a nap or a good book.<BR/><BR/>Trust your mommy instincts. Don't feel dumb when you rush to the doctor and find out it's nothing. Better to be reassured than worried.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy it, as much as you can. It goes so fast.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769700320834756050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-90514375867248020342008-08-18T08:09:00.000-06:002008-08-18T08:09:00.000-06:001.

It's not a cliche that you need to appreciate every moment. They really do grow up in a blink, especially when they're small small.<BR/>3. Make time for yourself when you can, and make it a priority to spend time as a couple.<BR/>4. Recognize the post partum blues and forgive yourself the mommy moments. When you're sleep-deprived and your body is surging with hormones, it can be a confusing time, but you will get back to normal--in about eighteen years. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-35765438955486820412008-08-18T07:25:00.000-06:002008-08-18T07:25:00.000-06:001.I would tell Marta to enjoy every little moment-...1.I would tell Marta to enjoy every little moment--they grow up so quickly! I've taken the time to enjoy my 3rd more and I wish I had done it with my first two! <BR/>2. Invest in a great crock-pot and recipes. It saves a lot of stress at dinner-time when babies are cranky to have dinner already done!<BR/>3. When the women in Relief Society are dying to hold your little one, let them. When yours are grown, you will be there too, longing to hold the newness of life again.melissa walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867099932178504026noreply@blogger.com
