This is Laura, from swim class at the Y...we had almost the same due dates (I was the one in the black two-piece, tattoo on my tummy if that helps you remember!). Your birth story and the tale of your early days sound remarkably similar to what I have experienced with my own son (born November 25). I hope all is going well for you, and if you're looking for mamas with similar-age babies to hang out with/have coffee, feel free to email!</p> <p>best,</p> <p>laura</p> Hi, Julie, and belated congratulations on the birth of your lovely son!

A small portable fan and burned through two motors. We constantly played music and still do. Follow your instincts and when all else fails, put him on your boob (this part will end SOON, I promise!). You can never hear it enough, you are doing great. He needs nothing more than you are giving him right now. We used a fan. A small portable fan and burned through two motors.

It's easier than hauling out a vacuum cleaner! An air filter provides good white noise and might help baby sleep — we keep ours running all the time since it has a HEPA filter.
