Dear friend:

I am so excited to hear that you are expecting! I am thrilled to think of the joy that I know becoming a mother will bring you, as it has brought me. I hope that we will be able to share our experiences as mothers and to grow our friendship as we watch our little ones grow up together.

It wasn't long ago that I was like you, looking at my mommy friends and wondering what it would mean to join the sisterhood of motherhood. Although the thought might excite you, I can also imagine that there is a little of the fear of the unknown overshadowing your happiness. What will they expect of you as a new mother? How should you react?

Let me, a seasoned member of the sisterhood, show you the lay of the land from the thousand-miles-up view.
