I know how you feel..Like you'll never sleep again, let alone have a minute to take a shower or get dressed. It takes time to fall into some kind of routine. The first few months are the hardest...well after you have teenagers you might think the first few months were the easiest. Another big thing here is adoption...it's an exhausting process on it's own even in the best of circumstances. Let everything go for awhile and accept help from family and friends if it's offered. You take that baby, your baby, and sit down and rock it because they grow up way to fast! Email me at vckisc@aol.com if you want to talk!Vicki

I know that I must reach out when I am feeling low or weary and knowing that so many people understand truly helps. Again, thank you so much.
