He is amazing! I have been away for so long that I haven't even said congrats yet. COngrats! I hope the night shift is getting better. I guess I will find out as I make my way through my 1,000+ posts.

Hooray for your little guy!

Congratulations! Someday soon you will laugh nostalgically about the donkey phase.

My own little blond boy prefers rooster noises.

2009-11-30T20:16:04.341-08:00

I remember just waiting for that first smile - for some kind of payment for the days and weeks of hard work. It was definitely worth the wait.

Reading this really brought me back, and I have to admit that I'm not exactly looking forward to dealing with the newborn nights again. But, I know I'll survive, and you will too. (And there is something absolutely magical about a

He is adorable!

Oh, he is a adorable!! Even more so minus the sound effects, I am sure. ; ) I have no experience with these things, & so have no assvice to offer. Just some (((hugs))) & wishes for a good night's sleep.

2009-11-30T04:25:38.159-08:00

Congratulations, he is absolutely gorgeous. I do hope things get better soon with the fussiness, but I truly truly appreciate you posting the warts-and-all truth about how hard it is...I'll be there in a couple of weeks & its good to have a heads up!
In any case its all so very very worth it!!!

First off, he is truly gorgeous - I can just eat him! Wishing you strength for these first few weeks. The first two weeks are the hardest and nothing can prepare you for it, even though everybody tells you about it. After two weesks it gradually becomes better and at around 6 weeks things usually start to fall in place. Hang in there. It sounds like you are doing very well, even if you do

First of all, congratulations!!!

He's OH SO CUTE!

I'm so glad the nursing is going easily. Someone gave me some pregnancy books today and I winced at the nursing multiples pictures!

Could you ever have imagined you'd be here now, after all of the IVF heartache? Amazing. I'm so happy for you. :)

2009-11-29T16:50:17.991-08:00

My girl is only four months old and those newborn days already seem like a distant foggy memory. Remember to slow down every once in a while and take a mental picture. Things do look up around the six week mark. (Mine actually started sleeping through the night at six weeks.) My trick? For the first couple of months she would sleep only in her bouncy seat with the vibration on. Everyone got

2009-11-29T16:10:11.057-08:00

It certainly helps that he's so cute. Sometimes I didn't mind getting up because I just loved looking into her face.

And other times, well, donkey.

Yay both of you on the nursing!

2009-11-29T15:28:06.636-08:00

He looks like a tiny little man - so cute! Sorry about the donkey shift. Hopefully trading shifts with your husband now will allow you to keep doing that as the weeks drag on...and on. You'll all survive and like everyone else said, it will get better.

2009-11-29T14:25:00.449-08:00

I have to say that I am really happy that you are such a real person.
Let me explain- You come out and say things like they are. not that this is new, I have been reading your blog since befor you were pregnant and that is part of why I keep reading. I found your blog when I was struggleing with IF issues and it was interesting to read another persons perspective. We are now at 28 weeks, so

2009-11-29T14:01:30.441-08:00

What a beautiful boy you have!

I like that you call it 'the donkey shift' - it is perfect. Just calling it 'fussy' doesn't do it justice.

There are nights when I put him to bed and I am so DONE. I'm tired, grumpy, hungry and in desperate need of a shower and just want to be selfish for a little while. By morning, I can't wait for him to wake up

2009-11-29T12:49:22.835-08:00

I just saw that you had your son! WOW. Sorry the adjustment is tough. I remember when Min Man came home at 15 months and we went from 0 to 60 in one day. I was very overwhelmed. Things worked themselves out and we figured it out. Congratulations, Chicklet.

2009-11-29T11:55:51.335-08:00

He is absolutely perfect! That face would make all those donkey shifts worth it!

2009-11-29T11:37:16.181-08:00

I used to think it sounded like a goat but donkey sounds about right. Good thing you can take turns. That really helps. He looks precious, btw.

Do you have one of those huge exercise balls? The bouncing really helped our little goat.

2009-11-29T11:23:15.529-08:00

What a beautiful boy! After the third day home, I told my husband to sleep through the donkey shift, as I was capable of being awake at 3 am and still being relatively cordial the rest of the day (relatively in relation to him, that is). I hope things smooth out, but it gets both harder and more rewarding during the first year. Sometimes it gets a little easier too.

2009-11-29T08:59:39.466-08:00

When my sister came to visit in the early weeks after my daughter was born she condescendingly told me "I'll take her for a while, newborn crying just doesn't really get to me." I was so grateful that somebody was going to let me escape for a while that I couldn't bother to be angry with her attitude. Sure, it doesn't "get to you" if you've had ten hours of
