Get some infant mittens for her or put baby socks on her hands. She'll still be able to touch her face, she just won't be able to claw herself easily. She may be in pain and or stressed from everything she's experienced.
Most importantly, you need to sleep when they sleep. When you put them down for a nap, ignore your housework and go nap. You need the sleep too.
As for bathing the little boy, start with giving him sponge baths. You can set him in a dry tub. Have a bowl of warm water and a cloth. Bathe him from that. Eventually, put a little water in the tub but keep the bowl there. The next time, add a little more to the tub. Eventually, take away the bowl and just bathe him in the tub.
Good luck!! You're in my thoughts. We also took in two little ones and were amazed at the lack of sleep and extra work. We're wrapping up our second week and it is definitely better than it was even last Friday.
