The part where you&#8217;ve both already been awake for a day and a half, the Mrs. is just all sorts of tore up, and the Mr. is camped out on this &#8220;thing&#8221; pretending to be a chair pretending to be a fold-out bed and failing outright at both. In otherwords, a medieval sleep-deprivation torture experiment of some kind. And <em>then<\/em> comes this tiny human that starts a one-sided screaming match every couple hours while you newbs haven&#8217;t more than a few books and a Google&#8217;s worth of a clue what to do about it.
