[Not a parent myself, but] I wish everyone and their new family members the best!

Don't overthink it. Babies don't need much, if you've showered them with love you've succeed!

The first few weeks can feel like really living, without the pressures and rush of the typical day. Take time to appreciate the slower pace.

Be cautious about consuming too much social media content around parenting; trust your gut (and your pediatrician) and find things that work for your family, the way they work for your family. Don't try to schedule or plan based on other peoples' expectations and experience.

There's never too many pictures of your babies, the days are long but the months are short. Take it all in!

A fellow AC parent said this to me before Adler was born - everyone talks about how stressful those first weeks are, but don't talk about how amazing that time is for your partnership. You and your partner are focused together on a single task for weeks at a time, which is for many people a once in a lifetime event. Try and keep that mindset during the tough nights!

As a brand new parent (6 weeks old), there have been ups and downs, but communicating with your partner and others is helpful. My brother has a 2 year old and 11 month old so he knows a lot of the same emotions I am going through and that is helpful. Try to find people to connect with.

Lastly, babies are so cool, I love having a little guy around and he just keeps getting bigger and his face looks different all the time and he is starting to smile, it's wild!!
