I don't know if someone shared this with you or not:

It's women posting what they would say to themselves right before they had baby #1. Pretty neat.
Enjoy these next few months, weeks, days until your LO arrives. Then enjoy every minute with them. GL!
Re: From a mom
I completely agree. For me, Kaitlyn wrapped tightly in a blanket was indeed a physical form of true love.
That was great. Thank you for sharing. Every bit of that is very true.
The whole thing made me cry. The one "Your son will get sick and you'll sit up at night to watch him breathe."
God I've done this. Connor was so sick as an infant and breathing treatments were a must. The realization that his lungs could give up on him at any time was very true for me. I remember doing just this. He'd be asleep in his crib, I'm in a rocking chair holding his breathing mask to his face so he'd still get his treatments and I'm exhausted. I'd have to be on patrol in a couple of hours, I was a single mom and I'd still be there rocking half asleep with that machine on.
What would I tell myself right before having my son, knowing what I know now?
Prayer works and Don't give up!
