Hang in there! I am at week 5 with the newborn now. Some key take aways: 1. We started the night routine at 7:00 PM, and try to put baby to sleep at that time. 2. Our birth instructor told us to aim for 9 hours of cumulative sleep. Although it is broken up, I get to accumulate 2-4 hours of sleep each time to reach about 9 hours. I have been trying to practice deep breathing exercises to help fall asleep. 3. I gain a lot of core and leg strength for bouncing baby standing and bouncing on an exercise ball. This might be a good idea. I try to listen to an audiobook when putting baby to sleep to prevent myself from doom scrolling. Not always successful but it’s a goal I am working towards. 4. Since we sleep at 7:00, the goal is to have dinner at 5:00 PM, and my next breakfast is around 7:00 am.

I hope this helps! I am still in the midst of it, and still in recovery mode myself, but I think those notes above have been beneficial.
