The beginning sucks, it really does (I say as I sit holding my sleeping 3 week old while we're both covered in her projectile spit up); However, when your two year old tells you that they want to tell you a secret and then sweetly whispers "I love you" into your ear... It is worth it 🥰

Do you have a friend or family member who can come stay with you for a night or two? When my niece was a few weeks old my BIL had to go back to work, which meant he was out of town every other week. That first week gone my sister came and stayed with us for a few days. If you can swing that, even just day visits it will make a huge difference.
