[quote=Anonymous]1. Don't open everything from your showers. We ended up returning half the stuff we realized we didn't really need once the baby arrived, and swapped it out for stuff we actually needed (diapers, wipes, swaddling blankets, etc). 2. I was totally unprepared for the weepiness that can ensue. As soon as I was home from the hospital, I started crying hysterical at the thought of going back to work and leaving my baby. It latest longer than I expected and all the articles online said (they say 1-2 weeks, mine was 3-4 weeks). 3. I also found myself much more anxious than I expected. Never was a worrier, now worried about EVERYTHING (from whether or not he was breathing at night to the dangers of just driving on the beltway with the baby!). 4. Utilize the Babies R Us and every other coupon you can find. 5. Accept help and don't be afraid to put your parents or in laws to work, just emptying the dishwasher or switching the laundry can go a long way.[/quote]
