Love that Elsa did this. Good luck to all of the October 2012 moms!

My mother told me in the beginning that you can do anything if you get sleep. I totally agree. If you have to do it in shifts or have a friend over so that you can catch an hour here at there, do it.

Thinking of how quickly your LO is growing up will help you get through those 4am feedings. No one wants to be up at that time but when I held her I tried to remember I wouldn't always have those quiet moments with her.

Finally, the internet is your friend. You're going to be on maternity leading up to the holidays. As long as you're up at 4am, get that shopping done and have it delivered to your door. You have enough to do and don't need to add a trip to the mall.
