    I’m also a new dad, caring for a 7 week old. I get that it’s hard, and I hear the kind of issues you’re dealing with. I hope you can care for yourself in the midst of all your kid’s needs. If you want to talk, I’m here.

      Thanks mate! My wife and I always were a good team but we strengthed our bond during her pregnancy significantly, so I don’t even need to look out for myself, she’ll do that and vice versa. I’ll send her to bed/eat/shower and take over completely to afford her that break she didn’t even realize she needed and she’ll do the same for me. Without this dynamic, those last days would have been immensely draining. The way things are, they’ve been a warm and snug experience for our little family <3

        Glad to hear it! My wife and I work the same way. She created a schedule for us which makes sure that we each get some down time and a chance to exercise, but I sometimes take on extra to make sure she gets more rest or so that she can go to the gym. We make sure to look out for each other, and it’s great to see you two are doing the same.
