I think one of the hardest things about a newborn is the sleep deprivation. Sure, I knew it would be hard but I didn't realize how awful it would be. I totally get why it's used as a torture technique. I would totally crumble right now...wait, I sort of already am.
People tell you to sleep when the baby sleeps, which is great advice if the baby will sleep without having to be bounced or moved to keep sleeping. Gah. We discovered on Sunday afternoon that the baby really only likes to bounce. So we broke down and ordered a bouncy chair. Not just any bouncy chair, a super expensive one that's completely devoid of batteries or fancy breakable parts - it bounces with the baby's movements. So far he seems to like it, and it sleeping it in now, but I'm making it bounce with my foot, which means I can't sleep right now. Sigh.
No, there isn't enough caffeine.
