It really is hard, and u have more experience than me, JustMe! I'm trying to look at it like this.
I adore this little man more than I thought was possible. I'm one of those lucky moms who had that huge, overwhelming, all consuming love the second I laid eyes on Ethan. That said, I miss my sleep!! Wow do I miss it! And he's only 4 days old! As much as DH wants to help, he just doesn't have the boobs for it.
So after quite a few chats , even from before when Ethan was born, I'm not sure we'll be doing this again. I mean, we are so blessed with the 'easy' pregnancy and 'easy' birth and beautiful healthy child. Also, these little kids are expensive, and I would rather be able to give everything and anything to this little guy than to have to compromise on some things because of finances. Now I'm fully aware that I'll get the 'only-child syndrome' speech from some people, or the 'he'd rather have a sibling' rant, but do u know what? It's our choice. Also, we might change our minds later and that's our prerogative too. But right now, this is hard and I'm tired and I can't imagine being super keen to do it again.
BUT...
I am glad we did it. Super glad. This little man is the perfect addition to our family. I'm trying to see the long, sleepless nights as my special time with my special little guy. This is time only I will ever have with home. It's time I'll never get back and time I'm sure I'll wish I had back as he grows up. I get to see the faces he pulls that even his dad sometimes doesn't see. Lord know I'm tired and would do anything for 8 hours of sleep, but after 4 hours (ok ok, 2.5) I'd probably be right back in the war zone, just to see that he's ok.
I can't seem to load pics off of my iPhone, which is seriously annoying coz I'm dying to show off, so I'll have to try get to a computer at some stage.
I apologize for any delerious rambling, but like I'm pretty sure I mentioned, I'm a little tired.
PS. Seriously? How long does it take a little thing like this to poop?? I've been writing this on and off all morning and he still isn't done! And I don't want to change him too soon, made that mistake twice already and pooping babies just aren't cute unless they're in a diaper!!
Might take me a little longer to check in, but with technology I'll probably be asking you lot for advice from the hospital bed! 
I hope that all goes soon as it's awful. We're trying to make sure to go outside once a day so I can remember that it's all about me and DH, with Winter as an added guest - otherwise urgh.
Anyways, I always tell my friends who haven't had kids yet how hard it is in the beginning because I want them to be prepared for it and I try to be very frank about it. Of course there's always the ones that get blessed with the easy baby (like my first) but then there's the others (like my 2nd). But I tell them those first couple months are the hardest no doubt. I think mostly due to the lack of sleep but I also feel it has a lot to do with the fact that the baby doesn't and can't do anything. Once you get a couple months down the road and hopefully the baby is sleeping more he/she will also be able to start interacting with you more, which I feel makes a big difference. It makes it more fun, I guess you could say. They start hitting milestones and turn more into an actual person rather than being completely helpless. You can make them laugh and play with them. It really is a completely different experience then that of those first few month. You just have to get there and know as time goes on it gets easier and better! 
And don't worry about deciding on whether or not you'd want more kids now. I think most people don't want to go through it again right after. Its not a decision to be made right away when things are at their worst. There's nothing wrong with only having one child but you may feel differently as your baby gets older and easier and more fun to deal with. I said after my second I was done but sure enough I wanted another a couple years after although we couldn't afford one. But now being pregnant with my 3rd and after dealing with how my 2nd was I'm not looking forward to how those first couple months may be but I know that it gets better and is completely worth it so that's what I keep telling myself! ...and keep hoping for another easy baby like my first 
to you and please know it'll get better!!!
