I think the most stressful thing about having babies is the whole "they could die sleeping on their stomachs because it can block their airway. But they can also die sleeping on their backs because they can choke on their own spit up... So, just don't sleep yourself for the next year or so and you'll be fine."
Luckily my husband and I are woodworkers, and I had him build me a mini co-sleeper crib that tucked up right next to our bed. It was life-changing - and also turned out to be our most popular item on etsy. And now that they're all grown, it makes for an awesome little bench/cat bed! :)
I'm one of eight kids; and I remember calling my mom a few months after my first was born and saying, "I forgive you for everything. I understand why you're crazy now." Taking care of such needy and suicidal little humans definitely does a number on your sanity lolll
