Here's another important suggestion Cyn!
Sit back and enjoy the view! There is no way to prepare for the many taxing changes that come with parenthood.
Having said that, there is no way to prepare for the first time your child smiles at you or the first genuine baby-laugh.
You will see yourself in her eyes. You will recall moments of majesty from your own childhood.
You will love your parents in a new way and...hopefully you and the baby's father will marvel at your own holy trinity:
mother
father child
Best of luck Cyn, most of what you cannot anticipate is magik!
