And when you think about it lots of people who aren't that bright or together somehow manage to get their children to adulthood intact. I have no doubts you will be a great mother. Your baby is a lucky little person indeed.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797661728002935006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1117961875948801702005-06-05T20:57:00.000+12:002005-06-05T20:57:00.000+12:00mtnw: I never thought I'd say it, but maybe it is ...mtnw: I never thought I'd say it, but maybe it <I>is</I> possible to read too much.<BR/><BR/>llcoffee: we aren't going to go so far as to redecorate the room, although it could certainly do with a change of wall colour.

When she came home we had her in the bassinet in our room for the first few nights and then we cleared out half the junk from her room and stored it in the other half.<BR/><BR/>She didn't mind, she had drawers, a bassinet, a toy box, and a change table in her side and it was all good.<BR/><BR/>Don't stress about getting everything ready, they're too little to notice but they will notice a more relaxed mum. Take it easy.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451484619921503215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1117871550735155512005-06-04T19:52:00.000+12:002005-06-04T19:52:00.000+12:00I read all the baby books and was very panicked ab...I read all the baby books and was very panicked about all the childcare stuff too. Probably a bit much in retrospect but I certainly didn't suddenly feel like I instinctively knew what to do once I had given birth. The first few weeks were a steep learning curve but, as I did, you will probably find as you get to know your own baby and s/he gets to know you you do get more relaxed and in tune with each other. <BR/><BR/>And although I've only been through it once I been told that it is not just about what you do. Babies have vastly different temperaments even from the beginning. The same parents doing the same things can have totally different experiences with different babies.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797661728002935006noreply@blogger.com
