before we left the hospital the nurse told me, "whatever you do, don't shake your baby."
i laughed thinking how absurd that sounded.
a month later after no sleep i got a sickening urge to shake her because she wouldn't stop crying the whole month. i remembered what the nurse told me and it made me sick to my stomach.
i love my family more than anything but now i know why sleep deprivation is a real form of torture.
the funny thing is as you're reaching your breaking point things change and then when you get used to the change it changes again haha
take pictures and video of the good times so that when it gets tough you can go back and remember how beautiful it can be.
congrats! oh and try your damned hardest to be a part of the solution and not add to the problem. you and your better half are a team and it's easy for that to be tested when you're on edge. hehe good times!
