we want YOUR advice on parenting!

i've been writing lately about the fact that Crystal and i are having a baby soon! we are stoked!

BUT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE DOING!
So, that's where YOU come in. i know a lot of you out there are WISE and EXPERIENCED parents & we want YOUR advice!

please just send me 1 piece of advice that you feel is MOST important. (& i'm open to more than 1 piece of advice of course!) i want to hear from you because we (or at least i) don't even know where to begin!
you can leave a comment on this blog or shoot me an email if you would rather. a couple ideas to get you started:

what's the BEST thing you have learned about parenting?

what should we be doing NOW? like what do we do NOW to prepare in the next 16 weeks before the baby comes?

what should we NEVER do?

stuff like that.
ADVICE WELCOME!
