Advice, eh? Well, you'll get enough of it after the baby comes. EVERYBODY has advice, and you'll soon be sick of it. My advice would be for you to follow your own advice.
guys we are so sorry that we couldn't make it to your shower. can we get your address, we have a little something for your baby girl. as for advice i think you need to do what you think is best for your baby... like snake said everyone will give you advice but you can't worry if your doing things right or wrong, they will just come naturally to you and your baby. also if your breastfeeding, i'm not going to lie it can be hard and challenging but just give it at least 3 months ( if your set on nursing) and you both will get the hang of it. can't wait to see some pictures of your little girl soon.
Oh you guys will be great! People said kids came with their own individual personalities but I didn't really get it until we had Jo for a while and realized she was her own little person early on. Just have fun getting to know her! It is the best hardest thing I have ever done! And totally worth it!! Good luck!
Hallie, I am so excited for you! I saw your blog on Lisa's and have tried to follow it a little. I am due towards the end of October with my "4th" little girl! Crazy huh! So maybe I am a little prejudice towards girls but I Love them! Anyways good luck. You will be amazing parents! You look like you guys are doing awesome! Post pics soon!

Relax, have fun and make Jeremy change all the diapers.
Not having grown an alien myself, I've heard that you should be getting all the sleep you can now because you won't have much sleep after she comes!
Jeremy-I resent that comment ; )
Get wasted every opportunity that presents itself...after the baby there will be no more partying! ;)
Sorry, it is too late to back out now. Good luck!

Go to as many movies as you can! You won't get the chance again for a little while.
1. Start doing bicep curls. The carseat is heavier than you think.
2. Be ready for her to come early. You never know.
3. Buy something for yourself.
4. Do some jumping jacks. I'm not sure exactly why.
5. Try to get used to going to sleep a little sooner.
6. Wake up at 1:00, 3:00, and 5:00 every morning and rock a bag of flour for 1/2 an hour.
7. Make a sweet "go to sleep" mix for baby.
8. Listen to said mix to help you in your efforts to go to sleep earlier.
9. This would probably be an interesting time in life to read about in a Journal.
10. Do something really nice for Hallie.
11. Don't take any advice you receive as scripture. Figure out what works for you.
Don't drop the little peanut on her head too many times.

Leslie- nice, good advice... I'm totally wasted right now!
Jesse- Love the list! especially # 10!
