Let him cry, don't miss the small things, play & cuddle, write a journal for them, don't jump when the fall; unless there is blood, let them eat sugar, DON't let him sleep with you from day 1, let him get dirty... - Heather Collado

Patience is a virtue.  You will need a lot of it.  Good Luck.  I'm a phone call away! - Kim Zwier

Have 3 kids in 3 years - Get it over quickly - Share everything as 3 become 1.  Rob Bishop

Enjoy your freedom now, life will never be the same but you will never regret your new additional to your family.  Enjoy everyday! - Vickie Bishop

Follow your gut instinct as it is usually correct! Get lots of sleep now as the first couple of years will be sleepless!  You will be great parents and I love you guys! - Claudine Leugers

Don't leave your baby alone with Craig :).  Ask him about how "baby cager works?" - Whitney Johns

Remember you get sleep when the baby sleeps.  Stay hydrated to avoid headaches, a crying baby can't have a parent with a headache!  Get a bouncy ball it keeps them calm while burning calories.  - Sarina

Stay calm and call me in the morning.  Gladly baby sit 24/7 - Grandma to be H. Leko

Don't stress!  It's okay for babies to cry a little bit. - Whitney & Craig

Enjoy every moment!  Before you know it they are grown!  Savor the small things, create memories and revel in the unconditional love!  - Cara & Matt Keelin

Cherish every moment - even when things are trying!  It is all worth it.  - Grandma Sue

Sleep when you can!! - Lauren, Tommy, Zeus, Nina & Chopper

Rule #1 Work as a team.  1 service the bottom, 1 service the top (poop, throw up)  Give lots of lover to both baby and each another.  Mama is always right.  When in doubt see rule #1.  Be patience, it all works out.  When in doubt, ask a grown up. - Kevin :)

Always be patience and remember to show the best love you can.  Do little unexpected things.  Remember to always hold and love the little precious things you do and say.  Learn along the way.  - Danielle

Buy paper plates and use them.  Run vacuum when baby is awake or asleep, same with dishwasher & washing machine or TV.  Sleep when baby is sleeping.  Take people up on offers of help!  Make time for Mommy and Daddy.  May God Bless you three. - Liz

Enjoy your free time together and peaceful nights....it will soon be a distant memory. - Anna

Enjoy that baby boy when he is little, they grow up way too fast!  Let him explore and get dirty.  Every little boy must play in dirt.  Then my biggest advice is always let him dream, no matter how crazy.  Bring him around adults so his social interactions are never limited!   Then..Don't let Chris, James & Christian with him alone! LAMO - Tiffany L

My advice to you is not to wish for him to grow up too fast because he will do that already, but embrace every step of the journey.  James
