My only advice is to remember that parenting is just trial and error :-)  Luckily babies are surprisingly resilient so it's okay when you make mistakes.

Each of those is an important stage and it's helpful to try and enjoy it all instead of rushing through it. - Aunt Sherry]]> 2021-03-14 19:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1307917401 https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1307919052 Take lots and lots of pictures, since you'll miss moments! I also kept a journal, just a little each day. Reading it now it's hysterical. - Pam]]> 2021-03-14 19:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1307919052 https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1307920473 It can often take a village.

Teaching your child to love others unconditionally is super important. I know it will come naturally to you guys, congratulations! ]]> 2021-03-14 19:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1307922089 https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1307923925 Please feel free to reach out to your family and friends if there anything we can do to support you! -Becky

They bounce (I think) so you'll be fine

I'm so excited to see this baby boy come into your life, I know it's been quite a journey to get here and that just makes it so much more special. You're gonna do amazing!

So don't sweat the small stuff and just love on that baby.

I'm looking forward to hearing all the fun stuff you all will do. - Ileana]]> 2021-03-21 20:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1335236967 https://padlet.com/joycebrush/ug70u6aork6itu6t/wish/1335238462 You're gonna be the best mom. Call, text, facetime, anytime you have a question or a problem. For advice, you know I love tummy time. And sometimes you need a break, it's okay to go outside and take a minute; get out of the house and get a little me-time!

It's really great that you have all of these moms that will be up at random times of the night as well. When in doubt, Target and Total Wine have a great curbside options, so just put that baby in the car seat and get yourself a treat and you'll be fine!

I don't wash the bottles; that's my husbands job and I don't mind correcting him because I'm not gonna take it over. So definitely divide up tasks. Don't do everything because you'll exhaust yourself real quick.

I did learn a fun fact, when Leandro's older if you turn on subtitles on Netflix apparently they learn to read like 3 times faster! So you don't have to feel guilty!
