How to (not) raise a BSparl by lunatic internet freak friends.
Just before the birth of our first child friends and family passed around a small blank notebook. In it they recorded parenting advice, mostly of the possibly practical but certainly silly nature. It was fun. I particularly liked the stuff about a parent’s responsibility to embarrass their teenager.
With the highly anticipated début of Miss BSparl, I suggest that her mom’s online friends offer our brilliance on the topic of child rearing. Having been raised ourselves, I submit we all have more than sufficient expertise. Some of us may even have experience raising kids who successfully moved out of our houses. With our wisdom in hand Kerri and Chris need only do the polar opposite of our suggestions to be assured total parenting success.

You Too
You need to also take care of you too. You as in just you. You as in you two and you as in y'all. So... if anyone can sort that out? Hop right on in here.
remember how the baby got in there in the first place. repeat often.
remember too, that before bsparl came it was you and Chris. When bsparl grows up, it will be just you and Chris again. Babies are important. Husbands are important too.
On losing the baby weight...9 months on, 9 months off. You will be amazed at the different shapes your body goes through when pregnant and surprisingly after being pregnant. It's natural, no one likes it and we all bitch about it...but it is so worth it. And get out as often as possible. Right after pregnancy, 3 way mirrors might not be your friends, but your friends are your friends so come & bring your baby fat too. I assure you, we all will be doing the same.
