Not having had kids I still feel compelled to advise OP.
It's a very stressful time for everyone, because the baby has needs which it cannot communicate or it will die. So for your wife and you to be stretched to the limit is normal - you will look back on it with appreciation when you have survived through it.
Do not give up or do anything you will regret - everything you give will be returned to you in multiples - but it only takes one bad move and you will spend your whole life regretting it.
Variously emotional/psychological maladies are normal for everyone, all the shit and unresolved crap from each of your past will be dug up and replayed - you must hold the line and do the good thing or you will regret it later.
For most people it's the biggest test of their lives, especially if your own childhood had been relatively calm and untested.
But if you put it on the kid, he will hate you when he grows up and you will hate yourself even more. So you must give, give and give to no end. When he/she has enough you can sit back and watch the joy you have created and be satisfied in yourself.
