I got an email on this today and as a second time mom I totally agree with the most of these. So thought I would share.
“It’s okay to cry. You’re going to be emotional; most moms are.” -- Kristin B.
“Shower and get dressed immediately before doing anything else. It makes a huge difference in the way you act and feel.” -- threehautemamas
“Accept help -- friends and family really do mean it when they offer!” -- Cliona F.
“Keep reminding yourself that this is the hardest part and that you’re doing an amazing job. Also, keep visitors at bay for as long as you can!” -- ParentMaze
“Sleep when your baby sleeps, even if that means sleeping all day and being up all night for the first couple of weeks. It’s important to stay rested!” -- Mindy G.
“Trust your instincts. Quietly listen for them -- they’re there!” -- Joann W.
“Remember that this part goes by quickly, and before you know it, you’ll forget that they used to spit up all day.” -- Amanda M.
“Trust your partner and let him do as much as possible while you rest and heal. Take it one day at a time and stay positive.” -- Julie C.
“Snuggle with baby and take lots of pictures. Don’t let visitors distract you from enjoying it.” -- Liselotte
“Force yourself to slow down and enjoy sitting still. Enjoying a slower pace doesn’t come naturally to most people, but try!” -- Shevi
“Be patient, give your baby lots of love, and the housework can wait!” -- Tiffany C.
“Try to get outside with baby daily if possible -- it helps boost everyone’s mood and helps baby learn day and night.” -- Lisa Z.

This post is for birth announcements from our January 2012 moms even if the babies don't come in January. PLEASE ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE A BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT! ***Please send your congratulations in a separate post so the birth announcements don't get lost in the comments*** I sent an email to the bb app so they would make it "sticky" for us and remain at the top.
Mommies- please include how far along you were at time of delivery, baby's name, date of birth, size, and how you're both doing.

PLEASE ONLY COMMENT TO UPDATE US ON BABY'S OR YOUR OWN PROGRESS AFTER DELIVERY...(family members are welcome to post for the new moms also)
I'll email baby bump and ask them to make this "sticky", but thought so the baby updates don't get lost in the others, that the new mamas would prefer the convenience of a sticky post;-) We will be sure to "like" each update as the babies progress and send other messages straight to the moms!
