Summer Blog Challenge Day #75 (August 14)

By: Nik1 Comment

Give a good piece of advice to first time parents.

Joy- Relax and try to go with the flow.  Babies know when you are stressed. If  you need a shower or a few minutes to yourself just ask. There is ALWAYS someone who would love to hold a new baby. (Just ask Tonya!)

Nik-  Wow, there are so many pieces of advice that I could give.  I was very fortunate to still live at home with my mother when I had my oldest.  Though there were times that I really got frustrated with her ‘advice and help’ I realize now that it actually was a good thing.

My piece of advice would be to not sweat the little stuff.  I know that as a first time parent you want everything to be perfect for your new bundle of joy.  It won’t happen.  Even as the child grows older, don’t sweat the little stuff.

Tonya- If it’s a girl wipe front to back.  If it’s a boy, be prepared to be peed on, more than once.
