I know we're both doing the best we can as first timers but I feel like it's all falling on me.

DD is going through her 2 week growth spurt I think because all day yesterday through last night and this morning she just wanted to eat or be held while she slept. DH went back to work on Monday and I slept on the couch last night to let him get
I totally can relate. I felt like a crazy person the first two weeks. I was crying every other minute and freaking out hourly about how I felt trapped and miserable. It took a few freak outs at my husband for him to realize how d
