It's so nice to read them at 3am when I'm feeding the baby :) And YES to forgetting about the newborn stuff - we just did this 3 years ago and I've already forgotten. I can't believe it.<br /><br />I'm still looking for that cover because I know as soon as i order another one, the first will reappear :P <br /><br />the paci was super helpful for about 7 months for our older daughter to fall asleep, so i'm not opposed to it on principle, but just don't want to introduce it too early!<br /><br />thanks again for stopping by! your work is beautiful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-56049288650465439112012-10-22T22:02:40.371-07:002012-10-22T22:02:40.371-07:00Thank you!!

That's what I...I'm SO with you on this. That's what I'm doing, too - one errand/to-do per day and maybe one "nice to have".<br /><br />Fun outings like the Children's Museum are only possible right now since hubby is around. I'm not brave enough to take them both somewhere just yet, though it feels like it's in the realm of possibility soon...<br /><br />Part of it is wanting T to feel like her life is still sort of normal - ie we still want to do fun stuff with her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-12868644495107570472012-10-22T13:07:29.169-07:002012-10-22T13:07:29.169-07:00Glad to hear things are going well! In the newborn...Glad to hear things are going well! In the newborn stage, I took comfort in sort of a fundamentalist time management strategy. I'd only aim to get a few things done beyond utterly basic time management. A blog post, a walk, one phone call. That's it. Eventually you can start to stretch that out. If you're already hitting the children's museum, then that's advanced!

I am not as Type A but i still can empathize. I so remember feeling utterly panicked when i had to leave the house with both (!) (or later still all three) (!!!) children and their Stuff (TM). I think my reaction was a mature, "I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS." Ugh. But it got easier and better the more i did it, so i sort of forced myself to do it when i didn't really need to - practice runs to do little things like fill the car up with gas or go to the grocery store when we weren't rushed for time. Much nicer to work out the kinks with no sense of urgency.<br /><br />Speaking of getting out of the house, i just posted on AskMoxie (under the code name Mavis) WRT a possible Seattle-area meetup. I'm friends with Jan IRL - she's the one who introduced me to Moxie - but haven't seen her in several months. A meetup would be fun but no pressure because if anyone gets what you're going through, Jan and i do! :)Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790372607515783586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-83845080175124621132012-10-21T07:48:58.058-07:002012-10-21T07:48:58.058-07:00You are doing great!

A year ago I wouldn't have ventured out of the house with both kids to the store or anyplace!!! But, now that they are older it's so much easier. It's funny to look back now and think about how stressful it was, because just like everything else with a newborn...you forget the tough stuff! ;) As for the nursing - you are awesome. I'm a BIG pro-nursing girl and I love that you are willing to do it in public (can you get another one?? i got one off etsy for pretty cheap) and also I totally agree w/the no paci statement. I know a lot of people would disagree with me...and there were times that I wished my kids used a paci - but I'm so glad that we ultimately didn't...saved us a LOT of hassle in the long run! Okay this was a really long post from somebody you don't even know, ha! Have a great day! :)justemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572503138300430587noreply@blogger.com
