[quote=Anonymous]OP most of the prior advice is really good.  Mostly just hang in there - it will get better in time, and exponentially so when the baby starts sleeping longer stretches.

Be as kind to each other as you can manage to be.

Do not expect things to be the same again for quite a long time - your world has changed.  It will get much less jarring and will settle into a new routine but you'll never go back to exactly the way it was.

Get as much help as you can afford.  Take and use the help - even if it's just so you can nap.  Or go get a pedicure.  or meet your husband for lunch.  Whatever will help you feel a little bit more like your old self.

Do you have a friend w/ a newborn?  Or can you find a mothers group or something?  It was a huge salvation to me to make a new friend who was going through the same stresses at the same time as me.  Sooooo valuable.

Mostly,  again, just hang in there.  What you are experiencing is very normal and it will absolutely get better.[/quote]
