So at the baby shower, my sister had everyone fill out sheets with advice for me. I had so much fun reading through all of the advice. I wanted to share my favorites....some are funny and some are just really good advice.
-apple juice, it seems like kids like it
-always take care of your marriage
-be wise, and get enough sleep
-invest in a good babysitter
-let Caleb change lots of diapers (this one came up a lot)
-arrange times to play with Cali (my friend Mindy's little girl)
-you will get a lot of bad advice, don't listen
-enjoy every day!
-everybody needs help sometimes so don't be afraid to ask Bev if you need it. (this is from our friend Maria)
-invest in college early
-learn to function on 2 hours of sleep
-yes isn't always the best answer
-little details mean a lot
-baby yourself too
-escape when you can :)
-relax - you won't kil the baby
-call your mom for help
-baby butts are cute
-Bear still needs your attention too
-eat out once a month at least
-yell into a pillow
-eat whatever, it makes your kids less picky
-use various colors of stage 3 baby food so you don't turn her orange (this is from my sister in law whose first baby ate a lot of carrots and started to turn orange)
-embrace the epidural
-never wear tight t-shirts if there is a chance you will get cold (during nursing)
-resist the urge to compare...all babies are different
-bottles are not evil, especially in the middle of the night
-always take a spare shirt with you
-bring her to grandma often
-arrange your house with everything you love up high
-have your camera handy at all times
-yell at caleb while delivering just to say you did
-Lansinoh will be your breast friend
-lose track of time, it goes too fast anyway
-call your mom often
Any advice anyone wants to add to the list???

Baby Shower
My sisters & mom threw me a baby shower last weekend. It was a lot of fun. I loved having so many people that I don't get to see very often in one place. It was so much fun to see people and baby barney got so much great stuff. I love looking at all of baby's stuff and seeing the little clothes hanging in the closet. We had the shower at Blonde Grizzly and it worked out great. These photos are all from my mom. Thanks for taking all the pictures mom! And thanks Melanie, Ashley and mom for the shower!
The last photo is all the stuff my mom made for baby's room. As soon as I get it set up, I will take a picture of everything in it's place. Since we are selling our house...I am waiting to set it all up for a couple weeks in case it happens to sell. If it doesn't, then we will set up the baby's room in this house and move after she comes.
