How to Survive Motherhood

This is a topic that I don't have a lot to say, but what I do is important! So here are a few rules for new mom's:
10. Have everything prepared before bringing home baby, you won't have time to after!
9. Stock up on essentials, going to the store is a huge chore
8. Keep a baby book!
7. Keep up on your household chores, have someone help out if you get behind
6. Set up a morning and nighttime routine
5. Don't let baby sleep in your bed, it's a horrible habit, get a bassinet if you want them close
4. Try to get on a schedule as soon as you can, (feed every 2 hours, nap, change diaper)
3. Nap when baby naps!
2. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP!!
1. Relax, have fun, and enjoy the cuddle time while you can!

Tips for experienced mothers:
*Take time for yourself every once and awhile, everyone need some alone time!
*Still don't be afraid to ask for help, plenty are willing to watch a cutie!
*Don't take time for granted, enjoy every minute of it!
*Single moms, don't be afraid to go on a date, you deserve it!
*Take time to go out and feel pretty, everyone needs it!
*Don't stress the little things (applies to both!!)
*Don't try to handle too much at once, take days off work if needed!

So I hope this helps a little, I am sure I am missing more but it's 1 am and I am tired... so goodnight! Go twitter @TeenMomBlog!!
