3) you simply won't remember this misery!!! It's amazing what hormones and the maternal brain do to those first few months of memories....[/quote]

OP again. When does this forgetting happen? Should I make myself a HUGE note to consult when the urge for #2 comes around??

It's so good to hear that others of you have struggled with this and come out well on the other end. I guess there are a lot of us control freaks in DC.

DH is in the picture and is amazing, but there's only so much he can do. He often does take the last feed of the day so that I can go to bed earlier and get some sleep before the middle of the night one, but I feel bad doing that all the time because it's DS's massively fussy time, so he often ends up with a screaming child.:( It's also really hard not to stay up and talk to DH after being alone much of the day.

I am finally getting to a point where I like going out more and feel I can handle it, which helps a lot, but DS hates his car set at, so it's not always that great to go out. I have found some friends to walk with, which also helps. Not sure what to do about finding a new way to cope, but I'm working on it. More sleep does help, and DS is sleeping better now, which is helpful. I will try to do a few ore things alone on the weekends, too. I sort of foresaw this before his birth and even made a list of things that would remain the same and routines I could count on to feel grounded, but even the ones I thought would be there have mostly been usurped by new things.
