Did I Mention. . .

that I'm not the hugest fan of the newborn stage? Don't get me wrong--I love my wee one, but the not sleeping and constant guesswork of what's happening, combined with very little interaction does not make my cup runneth over. Honestly, I am enjoying it more this time around, due in part to a) a constant stream of anti-anxiety meds, b) a more laid-back baby and c) comprehending that this stage passes quickly and she won't want to cuddle forever. Still. Sleeping for more than 3-hour stretches sounds amazing. Or even a real smile as reward for my sleeplessness would go a long way. I have a feeling the smile is coming before the sleep-thing. . .
