I'm so grateful to have DH here for these two weeks - I don't think I could ask for a better husband and Daddy, the only reason any of us got any sleep on Tuesday night is because of him. He's doing absolutely everything he can, barely even thinking of it. DD is a real Daddy's girl, so it helps there too.
Last night wasn't actually too bad. DD woke at 11 and called for me but I was feeding DS, I went in (because when she calls for one parent sending in the other makes it lots worse) and sat next to her. She was ok that DS was there and I couldn't lie down with her, she held my hand and snuggled in while I sang to her and she went back to sleep. We also fixed up the bed so I could feed DS lying down, so from about 1 I brought him into bed and we all slept quite well til DD woke at 8:30.
So I'm here in the morning again thinking everything is wonderful again - because it is really. I guess it's just a tired hormonal thing at night, but I'm so glad to know it's not just me, thank you everyone.
Arimeh, I actually thought of you on Tuesday night, I was thinking if you can do this with five surely I can suck it up and handle two!
ETA: Those have been my thoughts exactly PZ - I've ruined our perfect lives and this is a huge mistake. I just keep thinking well I felt like that when DD was born, and my idea of perfect just changed. I don't remember how long this lasted with DD, hopefully not too long.
