Make sure that you are getting enough sleep. This is because you are going to feel very irritable from the lack of sleep. This means that you might need to leave the house a mess with dirty dishes and piles of laundry to do at the end of the day. The best thing to do is to try to go to bed at the same time every night and do not take your cellphone to bed with you as a distraction.
Don’t get mad at your spouse for the small things. Remember that they might have forgotten something because they did not get enough sleep so they are tired. This can also make a person very stressed out because they are so sleep derived. It also helps to remember that you aren’t getting a lot of sleep either so you are going to be stressed out just like your spouse. It is important to talk about things so that it does not turn into a big argument.
Remember to tell your partner thank you for anything that they do to help you with the baby or the chores. Sometimes it can be hard not to take for granted everything that your spouse does. When a person feels appreciated for what they have done, then they are going to be more likely to help out even more. Recognize all of the efforts that your spouse has put forth to help out. Let them know that you would not be able to get through the day without everything that they have done in order to help.
Try out a new hobby that you can do together as a couple. It is always great for a couple to do activities together especially when the baby is taking a lot of your focus at the time. A lot of times a couple will find that they might not be able to do some of their hard hobbies that they used to enjoy together unless you are able to get a babysitter to watch the child. This will give you something to talk about and allow you two to have some fun together without the baby.
