As the mother of 3 boys (ages 7,4, 1) I can say that there is nothing better than being their Mama. My tips for motherhood :<br />1. Enjoy every minute, it flies by. <br />2. Trust your instincts. Everyone has great advice and you can consider it all. But you will know your baby best and you need to do what you feel is best for her. (Love her name by the way)<br />3. Smile at her all the time.Even when you are tired, down,changing smelly diapers in the wee hours of the night, etc. My mom told me this when I was a little blah after having my first boy snd so I have made sure to smile at them when I talk to them or am just near them. Sure enough all of my boys smile all of the time!! <br />Okay that is my 2 cents. I am so excited for you!! Happy New Year!Melanie Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308131469757904479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694279843836474744.post-83917795310954028422011-01-03T10:14:20.424-06:002011-01-03T10:14:20.424-06:00Hillary, Your post was so sweet. Don't worry ...Hillary, Your post was so sweet. Don't worry about being a first-time Mom. Everyone who has ever had a baby, I promise you, has had those very same fears.<br /><br />I had never been around babies when I had Kelly. I was scared to death...especially when it came time for first bath, etc. My Mom helped me and I'm sure you will get some "MOM" help too but you will find out that nature kicks in and you will be so totally IN LOVE with Sadie that it will be the greatest time of your life. <br /><br />Savor every minute...keep a journal....you think you will never forget those "firsts" but you will. Of course, you are blessed with a blog to do that but I still recommend a WRITTEN journal just to pass down to Sadie some day!<br /><br />Thinking of you and Josh as you wait!<br />Blessings!His Doorkeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681568647223880627noreply@blogger.com
