First of all, b'sha'ah tova! Secondly, it's all about priorities. There's bound to be a lot to clean with 4 little kids running around, and your abilities are limited at this point. I don't know how other women keep their homes clean without cleaning help - I think they just make clean homes a priority and clean at any cost, like after the kids are sleeping and they're completely exhausted. At any rate, you need to focus one what needs to be done for your house to function, and surrender the rest. Fr example, clean dishes every night before you go to bed. Do laundry less often. Figure out what's necessary from day to day and leave the rest or ask DH to help. It's much more important for kids and you to be relaxed than have a spic n span home.
