Our kids have basically slept through their first year. Non stop. Boring in a way, but we renovated houses, went for walks, planned stuff while they slept.
When we had our first, our budget had very little too to wiggle. We were both students, first flat payments to make but I can honestly say the two weeks he took off probably saved his life. It is that much of a change. Anyone saying they were bored were just not doing the shit needed.
We've come a long way since those days in every way, but when ever I'm a bitch and I'm telling him how something is to be done he quotes me on my first bath time experience meltdown. "fuck off, I'm cutting the clothes. No way can I get all these fingers out without few dropping off. No fucking way is our girl ever having clothes on. Fine you do it, Mr know it all"
She still has ten. I may have been wrong and mildly protective.
Edit, just spotted the third. She'll just kill you if she sees even this thread.
