-- If you have an infant, SLEEP whenever you can. Accept offers of help. Let your best friend do your laundry if she offers. Don't be afraid to ask for help, and to admit that it's not as easy as you thought it would be. Surround yourself with support, trust me, you'll need it even more as the kids grow up. Find time to talk to grownups -- even if it's "talking" online. A message board on AOL saved my sanity when I had two babies in diapers (one with SEVER colic) and a husband working two jobs. Never underestimate the power of friendship.
