2 weeks in and I'm running on fumes

Our daughter was born 2 weeks ago and I'm absolutely exhausted. I thought I understood tired but this is another level. Wife is breastfeeding so I'm doing all the diaper changes and trying to handle our 2 year old. How long does this phase last? When do things start feeling normal again?

Two weeks in is the hardest part honestly. You're not crying you're just tired. It gets better, man. Around week 4 or 5 you'll feel a tiny bit more human. Hang in there.

Brutal stretch right there. I remember thinking there was something wrong with me because I was so exhausted. You're doing better than you think. Take whatever sleep you can get.

The newborn phase is no joke. I was running on fumes too with our daughter at that stage. Don't try to do anything else besides feed, diaper, sleep. That's it. Everything else can wait.
