You never know what to expect as a FTM, but seriously, the sleep depravity of the newborn days I think hits every FT parent like a ton of bricks. No matter how many things you read or try to prepare for it, it's a whole new world actually living it!

So, was it any easier the second time around since you knew what to expect? I'm hoping that my body just sort of remembers if/when we get to that point with future baby dos, you know, like riding a bike? You kind of just learn to survive on zombie mom mode?
