https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97 Give your best tips and tricks to the parents to be! en-us 2021-04-27 16:16:42 UTC 2021-05-01 19:57:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481324673 I just finished reading the book "Ordinary Insanity" by Sarah Menkedick and there was a statement that really stuck with me. She talks a lot about anxiety in motherhood, and said that one thing she found that really relieved her anxieties about parenting was to let go of the daydream version of what you thought parenting would be like... because it's going to be completely different! I think the lesson there was that nothing will be perfect but it's going to be incredible and so worth it no matter what. You guys have the best hearts and I know that you'll raise wonderful children. You're going to be a great mom!!]]> 2021-05-01 19:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481324673 https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481325059 My dearest. Trust yourself always - no book, person, or website will know better than you (most of the time ;)). Lean into Jamie and Jamie lean into Mary Kaye during the beautiful and challenging times -- you will need one another. And lastly enjoy every minute even the hard ones because as they say it is honestly so true - the time does fly by and even with the excitement of them growing up their littleness will be missed. All our love 
P.S. Find other mamas, myself included, to share the tough and funny times because knowing you're not alone is very helpful. ]]> 2021-05-01 19:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481325059 https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481325421 There seriously is NO right answer. Try a bunch of things, try to put yourself in the place of a small child who is discovering/learning - and ALL will be ok. kisses always]]> 2021-05-01 19:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481325421 https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481325517 Communication is key, and share responsibilities. ]]> 2021-05-01 19:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481325517 https://padlet.com/kristenmlogan/iyflnn0fm93j7m97/wish/1481327092 Give yourself and Jamie a lot of grace once your little one arrives.
