As a New Mom, I'm Amazed How Often I'm Asked This Question. Sometimes me and my husband were together with the baby, but the question of sleep still got directed my way. But that stereotype of the worn-out, defeated newborn mom I’d seen all over Instagram wasn’t my experience thus far. Last fall, the Netflix movie “Joy” told the story of the pioneers of IVF in the 1970s and the first IVF baby, Louise Joy Brown. For now, when people ask me if I’m sleeping, I respond with four words: I’m enjoying the journey.
