Although I had heard about the lack of sleep, there is no way to know what it's like until you experience it. [ Reply | More

in many ways iw as suprised how easy the transition was. we jsut had #2 and dh and i both can't get over how much easier it was going from 0-1 than 1-2. the lack of sleep is by far the worst, you think you know tired, but you have no clue, you know no sleep ofr a day or 2, not for months, night after night, it is very hard. my fuse w/ dh was also much shorter... gl, it is so wondeful though and the tough parts shall pass!
