CALM DOWN SWEETIE!!!! Now I am no mother so I dont really have advice to give you but if you ask your mom or any lady who has had kids, I think they will tell you that that is completely normal. NO mother is born with the guide to babies tattooed into her brain. So relax and enjoy this! AND I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Ill be thinking of you for the next three days!!!!
I think Alan put it best when we were discussing his aunt not potty training his cousin until she was over 3 years old,"all she's doing is reading books, she not following her instincts"...I know you have it in you darling! Granted, books are helpful with some things, but so islearning. You will learn as you go and you will grow together with little Angelica. You'll be a fabulous mother and Alan and I are ALWAYS here to babysit! Plus I still have a notebook full of research for you, so call me anytime! 734-377-7736 Goodluck with labor, I'm sure you'll pass the mommy test;)
That's what *your* mom is for. You have a wonderful mother, which I think is a huge part of BEING a wonderful mother. And also, you can call her freaking out and she'll tell you what to do :). Seriously, my aunt was 41 when she had her first baby, and she called my mom freaking out more than once that first month or so. No matter how much you study, you can't forsee everything. That's what instincts and mothers are for.
And the changing diapers thing? You will be an expert in about two days. Don't worry about that!
Although that divine study guide would be awesome.
I'll be thinking of you and praying for you in the next couple of days! I love you!
PS: I found some old notes from eighth grade while I was cleaning my room the other day. We were insane. That is all.
a long... long response :)monayourmomMay 20 2005, 19:46:56 UTC
Ok, first of all - what you have to realize is that EVERY MOTHER GOES THROUGH THIS! And it doesn't go away right away. But, you will be excellent! I promise. Here's a few things of advice I will share with you
( ... )
You don't have to worry, even if you can't figure it out with in the first week, by the second week it will be so routine for you that youll know exactly what your baby girl wants and when she needs it. Besides you have friends that know what they're doing. Anna can teach ya a few things, and I...well I'm just good for babysitting :) but I can show you how to change a diaper anytime!!!
