Leave Some Advice for the New Parents:
Words for the WEE HOURS

Give the new parents a note just from you!!

ReplyDeleteWords for the wee hours and a word of encouragement: This too shall pass.
A chuckle or two: I still laugh every time I remember my daughter at three months old enjoying some tummy time with a nursing pillow under her chest and a mirror in front of her. She was still far from being mobile, but she somehow catapulted herself over the pillow and headbutted the mirror. She was fine, but it sure startled me! I caught it on video, too!
A note just from me: Parenting is the hardest job in the world, but also the most rewarding. When you're really tired or discouraged it's good to step back and marvel at how far you've already come.

ReplyDeleteWords for the wee hours and words of encouragement: You Got This!! And.. it's never as bad as you sometimes think it is. Oh, and this will all go by WAY too fast so TRY to enjoy every moment - you will have days and hours and minutes where you wonder what you are doing... but just know that you got this! There are angels round about you - and you were destined to succeed. Parenting is seriously the hardest work on the planet - it wasn't supposed to be easy and I am certain that is for a reason. We grow the most as parents, husbands and wives. HELP each other - ALWAYS.
LOVE YOU HEAPS
