![]() As my friend wisely said, “The present is the only moment that is real.”Ĥ) You can’t spoil a baby. Instead of skipping ahead, focus on the right now. It’s really easy to get into the “I can’t wait until he/she walks/talks/eats solids, etc.” game. For the first couple of days after Liv was born, night fused into day as we watched movies, followed her natural rhythm (sleep all day, party all night) and napped as often as we could.ģ) Enjoy each stage for what it is. These are precious moments as your new family, and it’s beautiful to spend some time in a little cocoon together. It won’t make the lack of sleep easier, but it’s comforting that it doesn’t last forever.Ģ) Enjoy time just as your new family before visitors arrive. ![]() Now that I’ve experienced it, I know what we’re getting into. Also, I love the tip to just know and accept that you’ll be tired. This time, I’m really going to try and nap when and if I can, because I learned that sleep deprivation and I are not great friends. I had a hard time sleeping when Liv slept (because I was wrought with anxiety, and also that was the only time I would shower/fix food for myself/stare at a wall blankly haha), but I learned my lesson. Right before we had Liv, many of you shared the most awesome advice for the newborn days. (I loved re-reading this post! SO many awesome comments and tips.)ġ) Sleep when the baby sleeps and accept that you’ll be tired. This is one of those times when I’m asking for your invaluable words of wisdom.
