Life with a newborn is so hard. :(

Gave birth to my baby 12 days ago. I love him so, so much. I knew life was going to change and things were going to be hard but I was not prepared for how hard it really was going to be. My son is so gassy and I think it might be from overactive letdown. There is nothing I can do to make life easier for him. He cries and cries from discomfort and nothing soothes him. He only will sleep in my arms. So I've been getting two or three hours of sleep a night (if I'm lucky). This is my first child and people keep telling me it'll get easier. But when? My husband has been supportive but just had surgery so he can't really help as much as we'd both like. Any other September mamas having a tough time adjusting to life with a newborn?
