1. Asking for help does not make you incompetent. Precisely the opposite. In fact, sometimes there's no other way to get from point A to point B. Even if there is getting there alone can take twice as long and make your crazy.
Speak up and be specified of what you need, and say yes when offered help of any kind. You'll feel guilty at first, but you'll get over it.
It'll be easier if you remember that someday you will reciprocate-if not to the particular mom who helped you out, then to another. So never let guilt, embarrassment or ego get in the way of accepting help.
2. Babies don't need as much new stuff as you think. They seem to outgrow everything from stretchies to bassinets overnight, so why stuck up? Take your time when deciding what you really need. Do a little research and make a list, and stick with it. As tempting as it is to buy everything fresh and new and adorable for your first baby-resist. Some items like swing and bouncy seats are used for such short period of time that they never see wear and tear. If you know some good resale store in your area, they are the best place to go and shop.
3. Getting a baby to sleeps is worth the trouble. This is a matter of maternal math. baby zzzzzzzzzz's = mommy zzzzzzzzzzz's. Veteran moms will tell you that figuring out, early on how to get your baby to go to sleep, stay asleep, and take regular naps is key to getting through that entire first year. Being a sleep deprived is a fact of life, but the sooner you get sleep figure out the better.
