Since Noah doesn't sleep much and cries many of the days away, sometimes it is hard to remember these days will be just a memory and eventually we will be able to laugh at the lack of sleep we got (although I don't think we can see that far ahead yet!). We won't remember the constant screaming or the fact we couldn't set Noah down just to grab a snack or make him a bottle. We will remember his smiles (far and few between right now) and the unconditional love we have for this little stinker.
During frustrating days, I always try to remember the quote: "the days are long, but the years are short" by Gretchen Rubin. Noah will be a teenager before we know it! (and hopefully will have better sleeping habits by then!)
Here is a short video I love to watch about enjoying the time we have NOW with our child(ren):
