My little sister described it as having a teddy bear snuggle you back lol - but she said that five years ago and she's 21 now with one of her own.

The first week home is always the worst. But dont you just love it when you rock your little munchkin to sleep and he or she is holding your finger or clenching your shirt collar, burying their head in your chest listening to that familiar heartbeat and muffled humming of your voice? That is what makes it all worth it to me. They cant tell you they love you yet, but they show it at that age in such a way it almost makes one cry thinking of the trust and protection he or she feels just wrapped up in your arms...

Getting a little sentimental I know, but I cant help it.

Don't worry they are not horror stories on my end! You wake up in the middle of the night and you don't get to sleep much, but they are moments that you get to spend with your little or while they are so tiny. It's not that bad:)

Maybe they sound  like  horror  stories  now but  when your baby grows up you will miss those very times you are dreading now. My son is 9 and i can't wait for my baby to arrive so that i can again relive those days. Lol.

I forgot too! I didn't sleep for 72 hours at the hospital so I get that feeling! Now my little boy sleeps all day long and stays awake at night:/ I love when he is awake and alert so I enjoy our time alone at night, luckily my older kids are in school so I sleep when he does during the day. He is a week old now and it definitely feels like I haven't slept in weeks also. I am thoroughly loving every single moment tho:)

Ya...it's definitely a challenging stage and sleep deprivation is something I'm definitely not looking forward to.  But....they are only little for a short time.  With time, it'll pass.  Enjoy your new bundle of joy!
