You are going to be a GREAT MOM! https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886319 2020-10-16 20:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886319 I have no idea how to raise a child lol but sleep when the baby sleeps!!!! Don't worry about what the house looks like, etc. https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886354 2020-10-16 20:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886354 Don't forget your relationship with your hubby - its just as important! https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886375 2020-10-16 20:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886375 My advice is always the same for new moms and newlyweds... if it doesn't matter in 10 years...it doesn't matter. Just enjoy your baby and don't worry about a messy house, messy clothes, or anything else impermanent. https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886384 2020-10-16 20:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886384 Don't sweat the small stuff https://padlet.com/brichardson73/mthxr5er10ss0vl6/wish/836886501
You get to relive all your childhood adventures again (it's really pretty cool)
