Books books books books books The telephone number of a good friend with whom you can share all of your big joys, big fears and every little moment that amazes you. Relax - get the basics and take the rest as it comes. Good luck - two is so much fun. Oh - and know where a few playgrounds are - and find a pond where you can feed the ducks. Yeah for two!!
