I found it horribly ironic that Eleanor could eat, sleep, and potty, all at the same time, rendering it impossible for me to eat, sleep, or potty. Anytime I wasn't doing something for the baby, I was usually thinking something like, "Should I shower, sleep, or eat? I know I only get one!" This trial by fire will pass. It all gets easier. You may not quite recognize yourself on the other side, but this sleep deprived neurotic person is also you. Is your Mom able to help at all? If there was ever a time to ask for help from friends or family, that time is now! The first couple of weeks for me, I think, was harder than labor.

Carry her around when you feel you need to get things done around the house. When she's sleeping during the day, you should be resting too. Focus on sleeping, nursing, and feeding yourself. Most other things can wait. Things do get easier. Get a sling. Carry her around when you feel you need to get things done around the house.

Don't worry, you'll find a routine pretty soon. She won't nurse all day long forever :) Make sure you keep water and snacks near your nursing chair so you don't starve before Corey gets home!
