Maybe I am not doing something right. How in the world do you girls have time to nest? Today is the first day I read the boards in a while. I must be a slow learner or something. I even still have my Mom here and I can barely brush my teeth and take a shower. I miss reading all the post, you learn a lot here.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. We are doing better since we are FF. The drugs they gave me didn't work. The only thing it did was give me diarreha. I wish I could have BF since it would have been better for his health. I know it isn't my fault though. He'll be okay. I hope everyone is doing well and getting sleep. ((hugs))
Re: How do you do it?
I had no time to nest until very recently. And even now, during the week, I can barely sit for more than a minute or two. We are, however, starting to get into a more regular nap schedule, which allows me a few blocks during the day when I can check email, the nest, etc. It gets easier.
I think I can do it because Allison is a really, really mellow baby. Our day goes like this: I feed her, change her, play with her a little bit, and then she goes right to sleep. Rinse and repeat.
I can wear her in the Moby wrap when she's sleeping and have both hands available to nest to my heart's content! We really don't have any screaming times and I don't have to rock her or walk with her to get her to fall asleep. I'm getting more than enough sleep at night so I'm not dying to take a nap when she does, either.
I also have some help from my mom and my DH keeping up with the household stuff like dishes, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. so that clears up some time for me, too.
I just got really lucky!!
