Welcome Baby Shelton! by Caroline Shelton https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7 We are all so excited to meet Baby Girl Shelton in a few weeks. Leave the new parents, Martha and Drew, some words of wisdom, some love, or just words of encouragement! Don't forget to leave your name at the end of your message. en-us 2020-11-24 00:18:08 UTC 2020-12-12 21:13:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Hello, Baby Shelton, Martha, and Drew! https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012464665 You guys will make THE BEST parents.  We are over the moon excited for you, and for your families.
The only advice I can give is love, love,
love that baby, and each other, even when there are challenges -- parenting is difficult, but it gets easier, and your baby will have the sweetest "nest" ever, in the heart of your two families.
Keep that humor and perspective going! Warmest congratulations, from all of us -- Laurie, Eugene and Clara Goldfield

You too will be such incredible parents :) I don't have any kids yet so I'm not sure what advice I can give other than to love and cherish all the little moments with your child and to trust your instincts in how you raise her.
With love,

I hope you realize what a lovely family you were lucky enough to be born into. https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012612332 Karen Goldberg

We are praying for a safe and healthy entrance into this world for you and for your beautiful Momma! As far as advice goes, I think when hard things or bumps in the road come up its really helpful to remember that the hard things are a small part of your and the baby's life. The joy is much bigger. There are so many joyful moments every day with a precious little new person in the family. Really bask in the good times. https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012612644 Love, Brian and Elaina

  We are so excited for you three! This baby is so lucky to have such great parents.  Advice: keep in mind the people who write the guidelines for parenting must not have kids themselves.  Do what works for you! Take it a day at a time and cut yourself some slack.

Love, 
  Cierra & Cate]]> 2020-12-12 18:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012614757 Dear Martha + Drew https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012614862 Congratulations--we were all so happy to hear about the pregnancy and can't wait to see all the amazing things that are in store for your family. In terms of advice, I don't have much experience, but I know that you can trust yourselves and your instincts. God chose you to be the parents of your child, and you both know what's best for her!! 

With love, Norah ]]> 2020-12-12 18:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012614862 Days go slowly , months go quickly. https://padlet.com/cshelton22/9axodcepm6fipao7/wish/1012615451 Karen
