gaining knowledge of newborns

[vacuumprincess]

So, my daughter is 5 1/2 years old.  I'm about 7 weeks pregnant now.  
The problem is, I don't remember anything about my last kid!!!  I have been reading others posts & such.  I just read aamandas feeding schedulle....  I don't remember what they should be eating, drinking ect...  I don't remember how much you should get up in the night... AAHHHGG!!

So, is there some kind of baby manual I can pick up??  I remember a little, but I feel like I need a refresher course.  What kind of reading material is most recommended?

thanks!

you'll do absolutely fine...it will all come back :). you're knowledgeable enough that I have no fear...you'll find yourself doing things and be like "oh THAT'S right..." that's what happened with my son, lol. I was so worried because with my daughter it was all such a blur, but when my son got here I just DID and wasn't THINKING too much and it all came back :).

Thanks ammanda.  You didn't get me stressed out... just thinking after I read your post.   I was like uhh... I have no clue!  I will look for great expectations.

aww, im sorry if my post got u all stressed out and thinking deeply.  but i usually take alill from each person and go form there when deciding what to do. i had a book i read all through my pregnancy called. "great expectations" I loved it, it starts at the first week, through week 40, then goes into info, about labor and delieveray.. and everything else, even after bab is born and what to do.. i got it at barnes and noble...  trust me ur a mother, as soon as that baby is born, it will all come to you.
