[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the posts but IME, it depends a lot on the baby. My first was much harder than my second, primarily because my second LOVED to sleep. If you have the energy, try to make a couple of things and freeze them now. Peapod and Amazon Prime are your best friends. If you can afford it, get a cleaning lady/service. You do not want to have to deal with that crap while recovering. My mother stayed with me the first 2 weeks and she was fabulous both times. My inlaws came to visit for a month when my second child was a couple of weeks old and it was a godsend because they showered our first with attention while I could focus on the newborn. This time around, I'm hoping my Mom will come and help for a couple of weeks again but my sister is due around the same time as me so I'm not sure that is going to happen. It is an amazing journey, even if sometimes you just want to throw in the towel. [/quote]
