What helps me is to remain aware of how much I have to be really grateful for. Realizing that I will get through anything thrown at me, and just become better and better at handling life as it comes at me helps. You may want to get on an anti-anxiety medication as well. Start relaxing and see the humor in life, see the good in life, stop dwelling on the stuff that sucks unless you can change it. If you can change it then do so. However my experience shows the only thing I can change is me. Just realize that when you stop doing one thing you have to replace it with something else. Make sure the replacement is a positive one.
peace

Life's responsibilities can come overwhelmingly fast. And Congratulations on your little one!!

To not feel so stressed out it can be good to take some time and thought about your priorities in life. Go ahead and write down your thoughts, each of the aspects of your life where you feel pressured, and remember to leave in your goals and dreams, even some down-time, and some recreation or fun times. Look over the pressures you feel from outside pressure as well as your internal and relational pressures.
Once you've made a comprehensive list, find a mentor (someone older and wiser whom you respect) or a counselor or a minister to meet with you a few times discussing what are real pressures and what are not.
No, you're not a kid anymore - according to your responsibilities. Yet inside you may very well have all the youthful desires and impulses that your single friends have.

Set out a healthy lifestyle - foods, exercise, work, family time, enough down time, enough sleep. Pattern your days and weeks into a routine will help to maintain your physical and mental health. Plan every week or two to visit the new Grandparents. Let them babysit a couple of hours while you concentrate on your wife's needs. She'll need some time without being on baby duty.

I'm reading a book that is all about prioritizing your life. It's called Boundries by Henry Cloud. He says boundries are like fences to keep your stuff in your yard and other people's stuff in their own yard. Sorting out what's yours and what's not can de-stress your life.

I have found it helpful to get together with groups of other people my own age, discussing responsibilities, going and playing ball at the park, camping over a weekend, playing games, having dinner -- with others in a church. It helps to have friends of similar ages and outlook on life to bounce things off of, to gain encouragement from, and when out of work they can be a part of your networking to get a new job.
A church is a positive place for your child to grow and learn too. Often there are classes on marriage and childcare that support family life.
