  75. I will give you some tips that I recently gave my daughter (she is expecting soon too). When the baby sleeps, you sleep. Don't try to be super mom and get all the house work done while the baby sleeps or you will be exhausted by the time he wakes up. Also, people offer all the time to help out. Lay you pride aside and except help when you are overwhelmed or exhausted. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter my name in the giveaway. Congratulations on your little one.

    ReplyDelete
  76. If I win I would use the gift card to buy a Pancake pan. Thank you for the opportunity!
    PS. Babies are a huge blessing, so happy for you. My advice:Relax and Enjoy your pregnancy, Congratulations!!!
