well, things DO get easier. less agonizing emotionally. confidence as a parent builds, and she seems to understand more about what is going on around her. and, you realize that you aren't the only person who can provide good care. that it doesn't all depend on you. that you don't need to "rescue" her every time she cries. that she will be ok. even better than ok when i'm not there 24/7.
