It does not end, and we can be blessed for this. Ohhh, and still I tuck them into bed at night, even when I know they will be awake hours beyond me. Though at times, they tuck us in!<BR/><BR/>If you do not have the book "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch, You should get it.

What's amazing is that you will develop a "new" sense of hearing. You'll be able to sleep, but will awaken instantly to your baby but not other sounds. <BR/><BR/>Do try to get some sleep, though. She'll be fine. It's totally normal for her to either be absolutely silent or to snort like a piglet while she's sleeping.<BR/><BR/>JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-1140146842284921652006-02-16T22:27:00.000-05:002006-02-16T22:27:00.000-05:00Breathtaking.
