miss83,
It might be overwhelming to handle baby on your own initially but you will be able to do it
Maybe I can share a typical day of mine with you (those days I don't go out at all).
6.15am wake up to get ready to pump, after that rinse pump. If known baby may wake up soon, put aside milk from pump to feed her. #1 is usually up by now, will have to look into his needs like making his milk, wiping his face, changing his diaper and clothes, give him his cod liver oil and gummy bear, get him to wear his shoes and hubby will bring him to school (half-day nursery, afternoon he goes to my parents' place)
Between from 7.30 onwards,if baby is awake will feed her first and see if she goes back to sleep after that. If she doesn't, will see how I can distract her momentarily by placing her on her cot with a musical mobile on, then I quickly wash up and get ready my breakfast. She is sure to cry after awhile and hopefully by then I can transfer her to a rocker to continue to distract her while I eat my bread. Bath the baby... then use distract tactics to distract her while I clear up the old clothes, clear the bath water, etc.
Once she is willing, I will chiong to sort the clothes for washing... once washer is ready, have to chiong to get sort the clothes for dryer or for hanging. If she is not willing to be alone, then have to split all these up and toggle between her and the task.
Hopefully by late morning she is tired enough to nap a while and that is when I get ready a quick lunch for myself. Once she is awake and wants to drink, I will latch her on and surf at the same time or read a magazine or something. I seldom just sit there and stare at the baby lah

I usually am doing a lot of other things when she is suckling away.
By afternoon, keep clothes if they are dry, if baby doesn't allow then just leave the clothes until evening. There are times I only have the chance to bring in the clothes at 11pm at night after my #1 sleeps and I have bathed. Play with baby if baby is awake...
7pm - 7.30pm, hubby will pick up #1 and buy dinner home. Toggle between #1, #2 and dinner. #1 usually will not let us eat in peace. After that will have to spend some time with #1... By 9+, make milk for #1, brush his teeth, read bedtime story with him, put him to sleep (and I usually am so tired that I konk off with him). During this time, hubby take over #2. Wake up from the power nap, go bath, get ready to do my night pump before sleeping. When sleeping, I mean to do night shift of looking after baby. She can still stay awake from 12mn to 3am type!
The cycle begins...
Sorry for the long winded post. But this is just to share with you that even with looking after the baby, you still can get other things done. Just let your chores, time, tasks, revolve around baby until a routine is formed. Once there is a routine, you will be more in control
This morning, my girl doesn't want to be put down for 4 hours straight. Shack.
Actually, at 2.5years old, my older one still need us to be with him at play, at meal times, at bedtime... so I can't answer your question on when will we be senang already
