Regarding actual hacking... When the baby is very small they sleep a lot. They sleep more when you're near them. When you have only one baby, (so there's not an older brother causing problems), you can get a lot of work done sitting next to the baby's crib. Type type type, hand him a bottle if he wants, or change him if he wants, or pacifier him if he wants, and then it's type type type again. As they get older, the sleep becomes less and less, and you're so grateful when it comes that you tip toe around the house, hoping not to wake them up. From that point on, you will get less and less work done in the day time, as they sleep less and less in the day time. At that point, I started going to bed with him at 8:00PM or so, and waking at 2:00AM and then working away till it was time to go to my day job. It was the only time I could get any peace and quiet to focus. One of our problems has been that our house is too open, so when the baby is sleeping in the swing or the boppy, the whole house needs to shut down. They spend 8 hours a night in their crib, which I assume you have in a bedroom, so they hate the crib. For daytime naps, they often refuse the crib (at least mine do), so you're stuck with them sleeping somewhere else that may not be as private from the rest of the house as you would like. If you can arrange that privacy, you'll be much happier.
