I am blessed to have a wife who since very early on has taken care of the babies at night as she breast fed exclusively, and most of our babies sleep decently at night, but I have still had to deal with a newborn crying in the wee hours especially in the first few weeks when I try to give my wife a break whenever possible.
That said, ain't nothing to it but to do it. You won't be hitting PRs every session or feeling like superman, but you can still workout at least a couple times a week, hit it hard, and get your nutrition in.
Otherwise it will be twice as hard to go back to it in the future - sleep gets better but your life won't get less busy as your children grow.
