[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your experience will be its own - some things that other PPs found awful were not bad at all for me, and vice versa. Remember: Everything bad is a phase, and everything good is a phase.  I thought the first few weeks were awful, and i would never just get to sit on the sofa with my husband, watch tv and have a glass of wine ever again. That came sooner than I would have imagined in those dark, early days.  And when your child is doing something so adorable, cherish it, because it won't last forever. [/quote]

I felt the exact same way...I had made a mistake.  I was sad and missed my dh.  He stayed up later to watch our dvr'd shows and I went to bed earlier than EVER - just to get some rest.  I miss my old life and I'm only 3.5 wks in.  How long until I can put baby down to sleep and have wine and gang with my husband???[/quote]

PP, you're still in the weeds! I felt like things improved significantly after 6 weeks, once the baby starts sleeping in more regular patterns. Certainly by 4 months, DD was going to bed by 7:30 and then we had a couple hours to ourselves. Before that, she was staying up until 11 or midnight, but one of her naps just turned into night time sleep. Hang in there. It'l lbe there sooner than you think. [/quote]
