At the end of the day, and as much as your wife needs the help, remember to take some time for yourself. I found myself getting unreasonably frustrated at times, and I internalized that a lot. We can’t be good fathers and husbands if we are drowning.

Thanks for the reminder. Wife's nausea is way worse with this baby than the last (who is now a very busy 1 year old). There are a lot of days where I feel like I'm stretched to the limit and I know I'm grumpy a lot more than I should be. I've got to get better at self care.
