The lovely
prayergardens has kindly offered to throw me an online baby shower here on Dreamwidth for our daughter, due October 17th of this year! This post will function as our “guest book,” so please comment here with any advice, well-wishes, questions, etcetera. Thank you!

Disagreeing slightly with a post above I would recommend joining your local FB mom group if you are in a good headspace because there is nowhere else where you will find out such things as: which doctors are any good, where to buy a certain useful item that is sold out everywhere else, etc. Bicker some might, but the sheer knowledge of how to navigate with children at a local level is so useful. Just don't use it for friends of psychological support - let those people be real people.
