The first 9-10 months were total hell for my wife and I - it wasn't till we successfully sleep trained (3 attempts) our monster that things got better. Prior to that I slept in the guest room for 8 months and my wife and I would take turns with her at night as she woke every 2-2.5 hours. I still have PTSD from it as I'm not able to sleep a full 8 hours anymore without waking - I have to block off 9-10 hours in order to get 8 hours.

Now she's about to hit 2 years and while she's still a lot of work she's also a huge amount of fun. She's the best (except when I have to spend the entire day with her) and I only occasionally think about leaving her at a fire hall.
