Thank you for sharing this; it's all super super true and so incredibly hard. I remember those days viscerally. Sometimes trying to do that next thing just felt/feels impossible. You can't plan your way out of it right now because babies defy any and all plans (as do, er, pandemics). Just take it day by day, bird by bird, even minute by minute if you have to.
Above all, I vote for sleep, whenever you can manage it. SO MUCH MORE SEEMS POSSIBLE when you've had a little extra sleep, a good cup of tea, and a snack. Sending strength and fingers crossed for a baby who likes sleep as much as us grown-ups do.
