Your little one is due and you're ready. You do a quick check to make sure everything is in place and you lovingly fondle the new outfit your precious one will wear on its journey home. The nursery is finished, adorned in pastel colors and trimmed with a colorful alphabet border. The new child-proofed crib with the cute mobile hanging overtop sits in wait at one end of the room, stuffed animals now filling its center, and you smile, knowing soon they will be replaced by the tiny little bundle you hold inside of you. The dresser drawers are stuffed with tiny newborn outfits, the change table is in place with diapers stacked neatly underneath, along with baby powders, diaper rash creams, baby oils and other over-the-counter medications your mother insisted you would need. The check list is done, your bag is packed for the trip to the hospital, and yes, you know you are ready for the big day. But is your husband?

From the moment your little one is born you splay their little fingers in yours, look into their young, innocent eyes and silently promise this sweet child you'll never let anything bad happen to him/her. There's nothing you wouldn't do for this little bundle of joy! And then the real world comes crashing down on you. Early morning and late night feedings, colic, late night rockings, dirty diapers, doctors appointments and the list goes on and on. Your life is busy and you're sure you'll never have another good nights sleep. And through all of this, you have to get up in the morning to drag your tired and aching body to work. How do you manage?
