I second/third/ whatever!

the notion to hold off on books until the baby shower. But since your friendship goes so far back, you will probably have lots of time to discuss how exciting it is to be a mommy.

TBH, when I was pg I just assumed I would spank. It was how I was raised. Didn't the bible say to beat your children? Then I was given the Pearl books. I had a pg

fit before ds was born because the nursery wasn't ready. But you know what? Bf and cosleeping go so well together!

So much of my assumptions about raising my child changed when I had ds. I am a photographer, and often see out of control kids and overwhelmed parents. I was always able to be gentle and redirect and distract and soothe. After I had ds, it finally

for me. That *was* discipline! I couldn't hit anyone else's children, so I learned to cope with them. So why hit my child?

God can really change hearts....and with you there to be such a wonderful example for her...I'm sure it will work out!
