[quote=Anonymous]I remember sobbing on DH's chest in the middle of the night when our first was an infant. That baby did not sleep for more than 15 minutes for the first 8 weeks. I thought we'd ruined our lives and our marriage and that DS was totally defective. By 3 months, we owned more gear than I ever though humanly possible. At 4 months, I went back to work and felt like I'd left my dominant hand -- and heart -- behind. Fast forward 6.5 years. #1 is an angel who sleeps like the dead. #2 is our pistol and the only girl. #3 is a joy, even tho his diaper broke open and he ground poop into my carpet tonight. Do what you can, cope how you can, make your decisions and move on. Your little one will love you because you're you and they won't remember anything until 3ish or so anyway! Plus, #2 will need that bouncy seat so #1 doesn't run over him and she careens across the room with her toys.[/quote]
