Thank them endlessly, love them deeply, and don't worry if you told them your "final" due date twice. Their patience is boundless, like their undying appetite for your bizarre cravings and complaints.
No recipe, instruction manual, or mood ring could preemptively prepare you for the ride of a lifetime that pregnancy is.
