My journey to motherhood...2 months early

[Zero]

congratulations marroe - she's an angel

[Psycom5k]

let me tell you what, I'm glad that she is healthy. I'm very happy for you and her. I just had a nephew born not too long ago, and he was a month early. He was in the hospital for 6 weeks before he could come home, so I "kinda" know what its like, because I didn't have something growing inside of me for so long and then have to be sliced open and have that little being taken out, mostly because i've never been pregnant... and because I have the totally opposite parts for that anyways... but the waiting for them to get out of the hospital so you can bring them home and spend time with them... I know exactly how you feel. I love my little nephew Noah, who by the way is a genius because instead of crying when he wants something, he simply says HEY! a few times till he gets your attention. ( I should try to get a recording of it and put it up somewhere.)
One word of advice... if your mad at somebody, don't use her against that person, because its just wrong.... and on that note, I'd like to say that my sister can be a downright bitchsometimes.
ANYWAYS.... Good luck, and spoil her rotten.

That's my best mommy advice....
oh,and...
when it's night be quiet, when it's day-do what you need to do.
It gets them into the right day/night routine and they start sleeping thru the night quicker.
I've done that with all my kids and it works.

I have a thousand really good tips- but only if you ask, I also know it's a pain in the ass to get mommyhood advice

I have been trying SO hard to get this child to sleep through the night. When it's bed time we all go to bed, turn the light out and we're totally quiet but she ALWAYS starts fussing soon after and stays that way all night. I'm so tired:( And all day long I am cleaning and vacuuming and making noise but she sleeps through it all. I try to wake her but nothing does it. I don't know what to do!!! Please...I'll take all the advice about this I can get.

So there's talk of a baby shower? I could really use one of those diaper genies and a 4 door car:p

Don't make fun of me...I have gained an insane amount of weight. Weight watchers here I come!

You ans the baby both look fine! There's nothing to make fun of. I'm afraid I don't know much about taking care of babies so I can't help.
