He'll say nasty things, too. And in the morning, you both will forget it and move on. Sure, you called your husband a cold-hearted F@#!% face when he rolled over last night when the baby was crying and he was supposed to be "on duty." And yes, he declared that you have lost your F&$@?! mind when you told him you wanted him to redo the swaddle. Ahhh, the sweet nothings new parents say to each other at 3:20am. The thing is: Sleep deprivation coupled with anxiety about your new role as parents is a potent combination. But in the end, you'll either remember that you're in this together or you'll start getting more sleep -- whichever comes first.
