My husband ' s first instinct to her cries are also oh she ' s hungry but that ' s not always the case . There are soooo many things that can cause a baby to cry . it ' s their only method of communication . You just have to learn to decipher those cries . 14 weeks in and I still don ' t know why she cries about a third of the time . I ' m stubborn like you too and don ' t want to wake my husband , even though he says I should . Once I return to work , that might be a different story though . We ' ll definitely have to take turns in the middle of the night . On weekends , he gets up with LO and takes her after I feed her so I can get a couple extra hours of sleep . Even something as small as that really helps me out . I always tell my pregnant friends , once you make it past the first two weeks , the whole baby thing seems more doable . Once you make it past three weeks , you feel like you are getting used to the new norm . And once you get past four weeks , it ' s like you finally got a handle on everything and it becomes much easier . Just take it one week at a time !
