22 Hudson Valley Baby Guide
A new mom's
wisdom
P
arenting is learned
through instinct, experi-
ence, and a little trial and
error. We asked our new mom,
Marci Rheal, winner of our
"expectant mom" contest, the
top ten things she learned since
having her son, Dylan, ten
months ago.
1) Life will never be the
same...in a good way.
2) You can never love your
child too much!
3) Rest whenever you have a
spare moment.
4) Vacation is not very
relaxing with a six month old.
5) Enjoy every second. They
grow up fast.
6) Diapers cost a lot of
money and you will go through
a lot of them!
7) Listen to others advice but
make your own decisions.
8) Your house will not be
clean for a long time. Don't
worry about it.
9) Sending your child to
daycare is not as bad as you
think.
10) Being a parent is more
amazing than you can ever
imagine.
