As I just said, I encourage you to get some help, but if you don’t have access to help, don’t worry: Your job is doable—as long as you put your priorities in order. The time will come to achieve everything you want, but that time isn’t right after having a baby.

One of your top priorities is: Don’t try to do too much. For example, the week after having your baby is not the time for you to host your family from out of town. As my mother used to say, “Don’t be stupid polite!” A few well-wishers are fine, but only if they’re healthy and helpful. Visitors who can’t cook or clean take up your precious time and, what’s worse, they can carry germs into your home. People you keep away may call you paranoid but, in truth, you never had a better reason for being neurotic and overprotective!

Another good idea is to leave a sweet announcement on your answering machine, giving your baby’s important statistics and telling everyone that you won’t be returning calls for a few weeks. Of course, you can always return calls if you want, but this at least frees up enough time to accomplish even higher priorities—like soaking in a hot tub.
