Early pregnancy exhaustion and sleeping during the day with kids?

Hi all.. really struggling here. I'm early on in pregnancy (8 weeks) and have got a ten month old. I'm working part time at the moment but when I'm at home I'm just so bloody exhausted I can't sit upright. My partner works full time all day so he's no help there. My baby is taken care of (nappies always clean, breakfast lunch dinner and bottles given on time etc) but I feel like I'm seriously failing to give her enough attention. She's easily amused and loves watching baby tv so my morning routine at the moment is to wake up when she wakes up (7.30ish), I give her a bottle and change her and she comes into bed with me to sleep for another hour or so. Then we get up and I change her again as she's usually done a poo and give her solid breakfast, then I put her in her high chair to watch the telly and I lay down on the sofa next to her for an hour or two and usually drop off to sleep. I just feel so sad that she might be lonely or bored? Did anyone else have this problem?
Thank you 😞

Literally right now I'm sat on my sofa dreading getting up but I've got no clean sterilised bottles for the day so I will have to, I just don't know how I'll cope with two 😞

My only concern is a baby being in a high chair unsupervised. Could she fall from that if she wobbled it enough?

Don't feel guilty for sleeping. She'll wake you if she needs you.

You do whatever needs to be done to survive. I had my first three DC in the space of 2.5 years and it’s all a massive blur but I recall a lot of pregnant days with either one or two toddlers watching TV whilst I napped. It has to be done sometimes, don’t feel guilty. You’ve said your baby is fed, clean and safe so that’s honestly all that matters.
