Do hug and cuddle your kids often and let them know you love them.
Do enjoy your kids as they grow up fast.
Do trust mother's instinct.
Do assume the worst.
Do have patience
Do believe that it gets easier
Do believe that you have done the right thing
Do let your baby know how much you love them
Do be chilled and calm and baby will be the same
and....one that wont apply to everyone i understand, but those who are with their babies dad ... Do realise that you didnt make your baby alone and that your partner still lives with you and needs love too (i hope that doesnt come across wrong, i know what i mean in my head but cant think of how to word it!)
thanx, i think sometimes dads can feel left out and may think that you are the only one who can see to baby and that now they are surplus to requirements. so important to make them feel involved loved and neededDo have patience

The one about your partner needing love too, that is very true. I get so busy and wrapped up tending to our LO that I forget to take time out and kiss my husband or hug him. He has brought it up many times, I guess I'm still learning to balance everything. Great point to make.
