Sarah, congratulations on this awesome moment for you and your growing family. Parenthood is such a blessing. Enjoy those baby snuggles!

There is a book by Harvey Karp called "The Happiest Baby" about soothing techniques. It is really simple and straightforward - honestly, you can probably get all the info you might need by reading a quick summary. I went to those strategies often. :)

There's a lot of noise around parenting. Companies try to sell the latest and greatest baby gear and there is a lot of advice around parenting. All abies need you and your love, so keep a short memory and a heart full of love.

Congratulations Sarah! I'm so excited for you as you start a new chapter in your life. Your baby will come when it is ready and you will be ready when that happens.

If you can- treat yourself to some post-natal massages! They are glorious!

Trust yourself – you know your baby best and this will change often!

This too shall pass – both the challenges and the sweet moments (hold on tight to them).

Sleep when you can – rest matters. Ask friends and family to hang with baby, so you can get the sleep you need.

Give yourself grace – you don’t have to be perfect and there is not such thing as perfect:).

Take advice lightly – do what feels right for your family.

Ask for help – you don’t have to do it all alone.

Enjoy the little moments – they go by fast!

Take all the pictures and make sure to share them with your team:).

Try to sleep when the baby sleeps. The household chores can wait. And give yourself grace! Do what feels right instead of trying to follow all the "rules" from the baby books :)

Enjoy each day. It goes by fast. Each stage is special.

Some days parenting may feel like a marathon and you're literally creeeppinngggg to make it to bed time. Then, all of the sudden it's been 1 year or 2 years. It's hard to believe how true it is that the days are long but the years are short.

Take time for yourself. Seriously. Schedule it like you'd schedule a doctors appt.

It's really easy to put yourself on the proverbial "back burner" without realizing it. All of the sudden you'll realize you haven't washed your hair for like 4-5 days, and it's been months since you've gotten your nails done.

Yes, you're a parent now. You're also a person who deserves to be nurtured.

It may not feel like it now, but you will get to sleep through the night again.

It's always easier to stay home but so critical to get out in the world!

The thought of packing up diapers and toys and all the baby things can seem daunting. It may seem easier to stay home - but don't! Babies need experiences, and mamas need to be a part of the world too. Meltdowns in public will happen. Let others help you - it truly takes a village.

Sarah, congratulations on your impending bundle of joy. I wish you all the very best and wonderful memories to last a lifetime!
