Sleep deprived

I don't care what anyone says, you don't know what being sleep deprived is until you have a baby! I am definitely hitting a place where I am completely worn down. Even though our little one is starting to sleep longer stretches at night it is wearing me out. I have been trying to be a good Mom and wife. Jacobs job is much harder than mine and he works 6 days a week most weeks, but I need a night that I can just sleep until morning. I am finding myself so irritable towards him and I couldn't figure out why. It seems I am fine all day and then bed time hits and I get crabby. He is such a good Dad and husband, he does everything he can for us. Then it occurred to me, I am SO jealous that he gets to sleep. The Dr. told me that with the hormone roller coaster I am on feeling this way is not abnormal. I just want it to go away. I HATE feeling resentful towards him, and I have been trying to snap myself out of it, but obviously I am not doing a good job at it. I'm not trying to complain by any means, I love Nadia and Jacob with all my heart. Of course no matter how tired I am I look at her sweet face and it melts my heart, but I still look at Jacob sleeping and feel a twinge of anger LOL. I know that every parent goes through this, they all survived, so will I..... Can the relief come sooner than later though!
