[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2 month old who was very much wanted and I have to say this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I cannot imagine doing this with any amount of uncertainty. Granted I'm still in the thick of it as far as newborn-ness goes but so far it has been hard. Really really hard. It's why im on dcum with a baby on my shoulder at 1:30am rather than in my bed which looks like a fat juicy porkchop to a starved dog right about now. But sadly I know I will be in this stupid rocking chair at least 3 more times tonight. Probably 4. Anyway don't have kids if you aren't sure.[/quote]

I remember feeling exactly this way at 8 weeks. I very much wanted and planned for my baby, and things were so hard that I could not imagine doing it with any ambivalence or without a supportive partner. My husband and I refer to that period as the dark times. Our baby was so hard and we were so tired. But it did get SO much better, in case you are in need of some consolation. At one year he's still not a great sleeper, unfortunately, but he's so wonderful and fun in so many different ways that we are starting to consider having another. It's kind of amazing. [/quote]
