Thank you for this!! Though we still have 8-12 weeks to go before the arrival of our new additions, I am trying really hard to remember everything from when our 21-month-old was a newborn. It's amazing how quickly you forget! This will be a great way to brush up. I figured I'd be set with this pregnancy... easy peasy lemon squeezy, right? We've done this before... now that we know we're having twins I *might* be just a tad more anxious than before. Thank goodness for Relief Society sisters and close family - that's all I have to say! ; p And here's to a simple, uneventful delivery for you. :)
Thank you from me as well! I have about 15 more weeks, but was also wondering how in the world I forgot so much- I thought I'd remember everything since my daughter is only 2, but I don't. This will be super helpful. :)
You are most welcome!
Oh and Rebecca, I bet you will find it mostly comes back quickly.
