Advice? ;)

So here it goes!

Sometime within then next 3 weeks we should be welcoming our little (hopefully) girl into the world!  I have received a couple of FANTASTIC tips from Drew's sister and wanted to open up the lines of communication with other mom's who have those just all too wonderful child care pointers ;)

1. Keep a tub of water with oxy clean in the laundry room and when your baby craps all over its sheets/clothes etc just throw them in this tub and let them sit, keep adding to the tub and then dump the whole thing in the washing machine. She swears by this method and says it results in no stains and less work ;)  I love it and will def be giving this a try!

2. Layer your crib (this one I had read about as well). Don't just have one mattress pad/sheet, instead layer x 3. mattress pad/sheet, mattress pad/sheet etc. So that once again when your baby messes all over you can just strip off a layer and still have a crib that is made without having to try and make the crib up in the middle of the night. This is by far the most useful for me so far because I can barely even reach down far enough to make the crib in the first place. hehe.

3?  Please help with further parenting suggestions.  xoxooxo, nervous and excited mom-to-be!
