[quote=Anonymous]Eight weeks is a rough time, I would like to point out. In another week or two, you should have a bit less fuss and more smiles and interaction. That helps a ton. Ask DH to take a depression screening--look up the edinburgh scale online or another one (that one is for PPD). My DH both times had a horrible time going back to work. He felt really sad and guilty not being home with me and our babies--he really wanted to be. And between the pressure of work and the interrupted sleep (because he did help at night, it was time with the baby and I wasn't good with sleep deprivation), he cracked easily and just wasn't all that pleasant. I agree with others recommending one on one time with the baby. I usually left DH and the baby for long enough to go grocery shopping on Saturday mornings. Walks are good too. The baby will get easier though, which I think will help all of it. [/quote]
