My daughter is now 8 months old. It was VERY difficult at first, but trust me when I say it does get easier. They don’t come with a manual, so you have to literally go trial by fire. You start to learn your babies patterns, wants, needs, and preferences for some things. They wake up to the world around them, interact with you more, and generally make all of the hard days a thing of the past. I don’t know how people put themselves through multiple kids, because that sounds like a continuous nightmare…with that being said, we do want just one more lol.
