Dude, it WILL get better. Everybody looks like that on no sleep. I looked like death warmed over, and I suck at using makeup, so if it's any comfort, I'm sure you looked better than I did!!!!!!!!!

Baby V will figure out she isn't a newborn, as she won't be.

Chebbles will stop wanting crap on her bum.

And you will get sleep.

I hear you on the exhaustion. It's one of the #1 reasons nobody could convince me to do it again. I do not do exhaustion well. I think I actually suck at it. If I was graded, I'd get an F.

Hang in, and ring and kvetch, as needed. I'm an excellent kvetch recipient :).

My baby girl will only sleep on her belly..yikes...I know...I have had many moms look disappointingly at me when I tell them that I let her do so, as it is the only way to get any sleep. I figure as long as I check on her alot and make sure the covers are not over her head she will be fine considering we do not meet any of the other SIDS criteria and we all slept on our bellies as children. I do not condone this activity, but sometimes I think it is safer than having her sleep on me at night???? Good luck with getting some rest!

You have Facebook? We must be Facebook friends!!!

I do the same SIDS-taunting routine to get the Punky asleep during the day for naptime, except I get creative with my old body pillow from the prego days, a few burp cloths, and a few moments of entertaining the idea of some sort of homemade face mask contraption to hold the pacifier in. I'm telling you, if I could make something like that and patent it, I'd make millions.
