		<description>Glad Simone is home with you.

And you may want to go ahead and write the gypsy lady into your will.  She seems like a keeper.</description>

		<description>Hi, I am de-lurking for the first time--I am SOOO happy for you, I can&#039;t believe I could feel so happy for someone I haven&#039;t met--I&#039;ve been reading for a couple months. We have a little boy after our own struggle with infertility and super-high-risk pg...

My son would only sleep in my arms for the first 3-4 months and it remains the most cherished time in my life--and he is now a delightful 2 yr old now--but there is something magical about the newborn stage--I call it &quot;the naked mole-rat charm&quot;--but enjoy it--you will never be as close to anyone again--and I say this even though i am blissfully married and my son is a joy--

the 3-4 months of the newborn were the hardest and most magical time--no sleep, as my son nursed EVERY 2 HOURS FOR 10 MONTHS, so i was just a bit weird (not to scare you)--but the closeness is like nothing else I&#039;ve ever known.

so, it&#039;s rough, but magical, and it just makes me so happy that you will have this time.

i just felt compelled to comment.

Oh, yeah, wearing the baby is the charm. I used the New Native Carrier.  Other people I know swear by the kangaroo karrier (sic). check out http://www.thebabywearer.com/ tons of info.
