without trying to sound like an idiot..... what's a receiving blanket?

A blanket to swaddle them in like a burrito :)

oh OK!!! lol I feel stupid now @mamalamadingdong

No, don't feel stupid! I only know what it is because I learned with my first baby, haha! That's what we are all here for- to ask questions!! 😘

The most popular use is to swaddle babies but mothers use them for all sorts of things! Nursing covers, burp clothes, etc.

I feel like I'm going to totally mess this mom thing up lol

oh awesome! @mamalamadingdong @sunshine1 thank you!

Dont worry!! @dianne0825 Your not alone!! I feel the same way lol

Lol I think everyone feels like that at first! I'm 37 weeks and I still don't feel prepared. I've just tried reading as many books and gaining as much knowledge as I could while being pregnant, hopefully it helps!!

any of you mommies find yourselves crying constantly, I keep crying about all the ways in going to mess up :/ @mamalamadingdong @sunshine1 @anna.atterberry

Of course! It's just your hormones, you're going to do great!

I hope so! @sunshine1

Yes I do... all the time..

With my first, I panicked about everything. I was a stressball all the time. With my second, I have an idea of what to expect now so I feel more free to enjoy what's yet to come. My advice is to just let it all soak in and enjoy your baby... It's easy for it to blur by fast when you worry about everything!
