Welcome to the world, Addison Marlo!

No "rules" about traveling that I know of, and I think there's something to be said for getting them used to it early! However, common sense says immunizations before exposure to crowd situations. We're waiting quite impatiently to meet her, of course. Smiling

Like she said. I would steer clear of crowded places for awhile too.
Aren't you lucky to have so many parents ready to offer you advice? Rolling on the floor laughing

LOL! Hey, 6 years ago this was brand new stuff for me!

I didn't send my old copy of "Baby 411" up to you because they've come out with a new edition... but it's hands-down the best, common-sense book I've seen. Ours got a workout during those 3 am things when it was just too late to call my mom.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1889392510/

They back up their facts with references, and when they've written something that's more of an opinion than an accepted fact, it's set off in its own little box so you can tell it's an opinion. Very readable, and very informative!

Here are some new pics. Also, I don't mind parenting pointers. You guys have been parents for longer than I so there's good info to be had!

Yeah definitely not as well rested ;)

Last night we didn't do too bad and got about 5 hours of sleep. Doesn't sound like much but when you've gotten 3-4 the previous few nights it feels almost like you've slept in. Hilarious!

Hehehe. Tired IS definitely the new norm. There were a couple days that my Jeff would call in to work to say that he would come in, but he wouldn't be functional. That was after we had the twins.

She is such a sweetie!

Hang in there, Jeff! In what will seem like the blink of an eye, you'll be dragging her out of bed so she can get to school on time.

Oh my....she is adorable!!!! LOVE those eyes!!!
“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...
