In the quiet moments of early evening, while I rocked to sleep my little babe I am struck by the fact that although it’s been only five short months since Oliver has been with us, he has already brought a feeling of completeness to my life. For all the tears, frustrations and sleepless nights, his smiles, laughter and look of wonder while discovering the world, have brought me more joy then I ever could have imagined. As he slept in my arms I was overcome by a moment of peaceful harmony between mother and child. It truly is the hardest job in the world, but also the most rewarding. As cliché as that is, it's the truth. My husband and I feel so blessed that we could have created such a 
wonderful little boy, and we look forward to whatever the future may hold for our family. Tip
Buy a pair of earplugs and after baby's in bed for the night, hand of the monitor to hubby and pop those earplugs in! This will allow you at least a couple of hours to completely shut off, without resting on autopilot. And don't worry, your husband WILL come get you if he needs you. This I guarantee!
Happy Parenting!
