What do you do while LO naps?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I try to get the dishes done and some laundry, sometimes will lay down for a quick nap, but most times I feel like I need to just stay next to him and wait for him to wake up to eat. I feel like I hardly get anything accomplished, but I know most of it is that I was extremely active before LO arrived and now feel like I'm succomed to my couch. I need some ideas of what to do to be active during the day, both with and without my LO.

    I shower, eat, and tidy up the house. Sometimes I plan to run a quick errand during nap time so I know I have a better chance of her not being fussy while we are out and about.

    Today i've made & eaten lunch, done a load of laundry, put away DS#1 & 2's clean laundry, folded our clean laundry for DH to carry upstairs for me, cleaned up the LR, made a few phone calls for dr.'s appts and such for DC, surfed the net, and caught up on some crappy daytime tv. I am about to wake DS#2 up to nurse since it's been about 2.5 hours from his last feeding. 

    I'm sure I'll pay for this later, but my to-do list was a mile long this morning.  With DS#1 I would have just relaxed or napped with him.

    Until she was 6 weeks old I used her nap time to rest or get little things around the house done (not to mention there were so many visitors).

    Once I got to 6 weeks and really felt better I try to use her nap times to workout, shower, do my hair & makeup, get things ready for dinner.  I don't need to rest as much now because she only gets up once during the night to eat.  When she was getting up 3 times a night I was exhausted during the day.

    I tidy up our bedroom, which has now turned into her nursery, wash her bottles or pump parts, diaper/wipes refill, feed myself, shower, let the dog out, pay bills, do her laundry... etc. I really need to nap along w/ her though because the night shift is brutal, and DD is still waking up every hour to nurse, and I feel like crap.

    Today I cleaned both bathrooms, mopped the floors, took the dishes out of the dishwasher, vacuumed the house and ate lunch. Now I need her to take another nap cause I'm exhausted!

    Clean, pay bills, laundry, prep for dinner (e.g. chop vegetables), go through the random boxes of crap I've been meaning to organize for years, do the 30DS, take a shower, etc. The only time I watch TV is when I am nursing.
