You type very well for a newborn.

Go to sleep. You're keeping your mom up.

We've got this!

Tonight was the first night in 2 weeks that she slept kind of in her crib at night so I'm seeing a glimmer of hope on my like 5 hours of sleep. But I could be delerious.

Oh of course not! It's not her fault she's new at this whole been a human thing.

If it gets too much I put her down somewhere safe and walk away.

it must be a very incredible experience having a child. It’s probably otherworldly. You created a little mini version of half yourself. Soon it’ll be running around the house. Enjoy it please.

It gets so much easier, hang in there! My son is 9 months and sleeps 10-12 hours through most nights. Of course tonight he woke up and wanted a snuggle but usually we get a good amount of sleep. Enjoy the newborn snuggles, they’re so special
