Thanks. My first piece of advice when anyone asks what I learnt from my first born is that the moment you are in will not last forever. I was guilty of this. If my baby had an unsettled day I would get so upset and think that was how he was going to be every day. Do not get stuck and think this is how it will be for eternity because tomorrow they will change and the day after that they will change a little more and so on. Live the moment and be grateful for each day but when it gets tough be grateful there is a new day just around the corner. <abbr><em>Sandra @ mum spaces last blog post..<a href="http://mumspace.blogspot.com/2009/05/hungry-for-more.html" rel="nofollow">Hungry for more...</a></abbr></em> Great list!

All 10 points are totally true. I especially agree and advocate - enjoying your baby, filter advice for others, preparing in advance and getting outside the house. I am especially enjoying my newborn at the moment as I have learnt each stage lasts for such a small of time, I am constantly filtering advice and have a laugh when a new Mum gives me advice on what's ahead for me in the next stage (they are usually blissfully unaware I have 6 chidlren), I have become way more efficient the more children I have, I always feel much better after I have been out and about for the day than when I get bogged down in the housework. Great topic.

I didn't learn this one with baby #1, and I'm still getting my head around it with #2! The one I'd add is to prioritize yourself - even just for a few minutes each day. You don't stop being you just because you become a mother. As mums we often put ourselves last, but we do a much better job when we make space for just a little me-time. <abbr><em>SquiggleMums last blog post..<a href="http://squigglemum.com/featured-articles/real-aussie-mum-may/" rel="nofollow">Real Aussie Mum - May</a></abbr></em> Oh, number 8, number 8.
