There is no such thing as sleep. Just try to grasp the idea that things won’t be the way they are forever...every stage passes and it takes time to get to know your baby. Congratulations! Xo Erica Teran

Sleep train at 12 pounds:) Get a good sleepsack for the baby and a bottle of wine for you and Jimmy, and walk away. You are giving them the gift of self soothing:)

Remember you’re human, it’s ok to not have everything in order. It’s ok to express frustration and exhaustion. The first week will be tough. Trust me, it gets better.

I made up my own little songs with Iliana's name in it, but a sound machine with lullaby options was a life saver. Sometimes you are too tired to sing. :)

Sleep train as early as 3-4 months. I recommend Lullaby & Me (Irene Makriplis) and she also makes organic products. I am using Irene Organics Belly Oil and Belly Balm. Love it so far!!!

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, by Marc Weissbluth was super helpful for me.  I liked to take shifts- I stayed up from 10-2 (slept when the baby slept) and then my husband got up whenever I woke him (when the baby got up) and then he was up with the baby and slept when baby slept. This worked really well for baby #2 so that we each got a guaranteed 4 hours of sleep!!  Sleep train as soon as you're ready to handle it!!  Swaddle tightly and make good baby burritos :-)

Try to take walks every day, even in the freezing cold. Go alone. Don't forget to shower, brush your teeth or change your shirt if you're covered in spit up.  It'll make you feel like a million dollars!

Let people help you (have them quarantine before you are due so you'll have an extra pair of hands!). Freeze meals now so you don't have to cook.

Take turns at night. Use white noise machine. I loved the halo sleep sack because I was not so good at swaddling.

Make time for each other and for yourself! Don't forget about your needs too.

As others mentioned, the first week or two will be tough. However, it will get better and those tough times will be a distant memory. Cherish your time with the baby and seeing all the changes and new things learned daily.

Don’t put the baby on the couch without a diaper.

Start wearing a girdle (modernly known as spanx lol) as soon as you can after delivery. Seriously, it was the best advice I got. It's science, not vanity. Jimmy too! hahaha :)

If you are having a moment of feeling overwhelmed, give the baby to your hubby and step out for a breather. Same goes for him. If not, the baby will feel your stress and scream and cry even louder. lol.

Considering I have zero children I don't think you want my advice. But what I do know is that sometimes we forget to stop and enjoy each moment. Even when you haven't showered or slept in days, remember this was beautiful.
