Busy Days


I had forgotten how busy you stay with a newborn and seemingly accomplish very little. I think it has been a successful day when all three of us girls at home are changed out of our pajamas, have gotten baths or showers and have our bellies full....

I do try to do a couple of loads of laundry a day, and I make it to the phone when it rings at least 60% of the time (that's good right?) My sweet husband puts laundry away when he gets home and getting supper on the table right now is a tag team effort which consists of a lot of convenience foods (hello tater tots which Lilly lovingly refers to as polka dots...)
Dishes get done at least by 10 pm.
So that's good enough for me, the rest of my time my hands, and lap (and heart) is full of my three precious kids and that's plenty to say that it's been a good day!

Jess,

Just enjoy it! Don't worry about it because in a few years when they don't like sitting in your lap or they are to busy running around to let you hold them you will be thankful that you let the dishes sit until 10:00. Please kills my three babies and tell them that Aunt Beth loves them with all of her heart!

Sounds like crazy fun! I never got anything done when the kids were small, but you survive the best you can. I'm sure you are doing great! My dishes don't get done until 10pm sometimes, too, even without an infant. Good luck!
