1) Sense of Humor: You have to have this from the get go. When you are sleep deprived, you will do things you never thought you would do. I remember going to get in my car to drive home and I got in the passengers side and shut the door. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. Then there was the time that I was almost done changing a dirty diaper and then my daughter decided to have what I call ” flying poop”. It went all the way across the room onto the wall!
