Hi Sara ~ you said it! No getting around it, new baby + work = TIRED. My best advice is to let anything 'go' that you can (laundry, dishes, etc.) and go to bed as soon as you can at night. Seriously... what if you could BE ASLEEP by 8:00pm? 8:30? 9:00? If that sounds like heaven, then do it. Afraid to miss your favorite show? Watch it later. Dirty dishes in the sink? Do them in the morning (when you have the energy). Spouse/partner will pout because they can't talk to you? Too bad - you'll have more to say when you feel like yourself.

Treat yourself - get some rest. Everyone will be better for it!!

Hi Sara! Not a mom myself, but I found a great website on how to "beat new mom fatigue"!
