New Parents
I’m about to make a birthday cake for my baby girl. We’re celebrating 10 years this weekend and time has gone by too fast!
I have 3 babies now, but she was my first, and the newborn stage for me was a little overwhelming.
When my first baby was born, I didn’t have many friends with children, and I wasn’t sure exactly where to turn when needing help with a newborn baby.
Looking back, I wish I would have known about resources, or help.
