    little mr was 21 months when miss came home. Dh only home for 4 days. agreed only do what you can do, i cooked heaps before so had food in freezer only had to do pasta or salad etc.
    asked peeps to bring fresh fruit bread ann dmilk instead of gift for bub- helped heaps.
    i also would nap adn put them both down at the same time aroubnd 1pm they both slept for 2 hours and i slept during that time- didnt care about house etc jsut slept.

    most important- i put a sign on the door saying if you haven't called.. i'm not answering hte door i have a newborn and a toddler!!

    DS1 was 18 months when DS2 was born, DH had 2 weeks off (I was in hospital 6 days). I had CS with both and just did what I could. As long as kids were changed and fed that was the main thing. I made sure I put stuff straight in dishwasher and did regular clothes washing, I still have days now when it all piles up.
