Life started getting better at 6 weeks. Lo started sleeping 6 hour stretchesat night. I think babies start getting fun around month 4. More play time between eating and sleeping.

I'd say 8ish weeks when his sleep was more predictable ... and then things really improved at 12ish weeks when he started having an earlier bedtime that would consistently give me a few hours in the evening to myself.

@BabyBoecksMom: I'm there with you! My LO is 2 weeks old today and that's how my schedule is too! My LO also has his nights and days mixed up so I'm doing a graveyard shift every night. Hang in there!

Hmm. Not sure if this helps answer your question at all, but it was probably about 4 weeks when I felt able to get my act together enough to leave the house during the day and do things like run errands or meet a friend for lunch. Not that I never left the house the first four weeks, but when I did go out then it was usually because I had someone else to help me get myself and LO together. So I felt like I got some time to myself in the sense that I could do things other than sit on the couch with a baby on my boob.
