How hard is it to take care of a newborn alone? I'm 27 and this will be my first baby. I'm not longer with my fiancé and I'm not expecting much help from him. I'm in Texas and my family is in Philly so I won't have much support from them. I'm due in August and I'm getting really anxious about it now. All of my closest friends are telling me that it's going to be hard, most of them had their babies when they were younger so I can't really take their advice because it's been such a long time and they may be overexaggerating or can't remember all of the details. Could one of you ladies describe a basic day with a newborn?  Thanks.
