?' for Single Mom's (on behalf of mcanvasback aka Mel)
I have been *trying* to answer questions for Melanie but I am not a single mom and she is and some answers are different. As we all know, no matter how much we prepare, once that little bundle of joy is fully in our lives...well those best laid plans don't seem so great some days. 
She is busy so I am posting on her behalf. The baby has been easy and great so far...normal stuff but truly an angel. But as a single parent, how do you do it? What are you secrets? What can she learn from your experiences and  mistakes? She is looking for details...on getting baby on a schedule...day to day things like taking a shower...keeping her sanity, just everything and anything you can think of which could help her out. Isabella is young, only 9.5 months but is mobile...and trying to walk. I *think* she will be getting a nanny and I will help her out as much as possible so day care should not be an issue...once the nanny is in place.
Thanks all.
