First day alone with baby = mommy fail...

Between a week long stay in the NICU when he was first born, adjusting to having our son home, and coming down with strep, my husband has been home frequently the past 2.5 weeks our son has been here. Today was his first day back to work and my expectations of today were less than stellar...but nowhere near what today turned out to be.
It turns out our son is having quite the growth spurt with "cluster feeding" at the bottle to the point where he staggers finishing a bottle for several hours and we are both exhausted by the time he is finally done. Then he takes a short (15-30 minute) nap and does it all over again. This has been what it's like all.day.long. I know every day won't be like this, but Mama needs a good drink after today. Anyone with me?
