Get Enough Rest
Although this seems highly ironic, getting enough rest actually works wonders. Forget about the chores, the laundry, cooking dinner, basically all the things that need to get done. The number one thing that needs feeding, changing, rest and understanding is the baby and you. The laundry can wait for a few days, and you can always get your husband, your mom, or a really good friend to help you get food on the table. Rest as much as you can, especially in the beginning, because you’ll need it for the middle of the night wakings that are certain to happen in the first few weeks of your baby’s life.
