The one piece of advice that I received the most after the birth of Baby Elise was,"Sleep while the baby sleeps!" Easier said than done. While I am sure that most people when exhausted can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, I am the type of person who when I'm awake, I'm awake even if I'm running on empty. It doesn't matter how tired I am, I can not fall back asleep unless I over indulge in Jagermeister, which would not be a pretty sight. I felt like there was so much to do and not enough time to do it. It also doesn't help that the baby can't really communicate with you. The hungry cry, the "Change my diaper, I'm soaked," and the "I'm just crabby" cries all sound the same at first.
