FTMs- what are you doing all day?

LargeMargeSentMe

I am a home body and don't crave a whole lot of social interaction, but I am getting a little antsy on my maternity leave.  (This will be my 3rd week offf) Never thought I'd be saying that!)  I am so glad to be home and wouldn't have it any other way, but I've kind of fallen in the rut of just watching TV all day, getting a few things done around the house, and pretty much just "hanging out".  I feel lazy and unproductive.

I also fell into the watching TV all day routine, although I try to sleep when LO naps but I'm not much of a nap taker so that's hard. As soon as I could lift the car seat in and out of the car (I had a C-section) on my own, I started taking him o

DD is 2 weeks today and I haven't been able to get much done since she's been cluster feeding. If she does go down for a nap I'll try to start something like cutting up fruit for the fridge or folding laundry but if she wakes up wanting treat I have to

I was a C-section mama so my first two weeks were a blur of recovering from that, and now we're figuring out LO's feeding schedule bc my boy is HUNGRY! So I spend a lot of time feeding him, changing him, feeding him again, then trying to get him to nap

After I was released to start doing things due to c section, I would take care of lo and try to play with the dogs. As lo and I started to get our rhythm down it became getting house hold chores down, we go for walk about every other day weather permit

I'm a STM and my older son is home MWF and at daycare T/TH. MWF we're busy - he has services coming to the house 1-2 times a day in the morning, he watches TV, we play, try to take a walk, do errands (with both of them if I'm feeling brave) or go visit
