Things to celebrate!

heids4787 · April 2014

My DH is golfing today, so it's one of the first days I'm on my own with LO since my mom returned home this weekend. Let's all chime in, whether you have an inside/outside baby, to celebrate our daily victories (no matter how small or large):

1. I showered AND brushed my teeth before 11 am

2. I managed to wash dishes and do a load of laundry while LO napped.

3. I gave LO her first actual bath (which she hated).

Success! Now if I can squeeze in a walk and nap myself, I'll be golden. :-)

I feel like supermom. Tessa has started taking naps in the swing and it feels so good to have baby-free time! I'm trying really hard to give kiddo some good undivided attention every day, and he hasn't seemed to have a hard transition. I'm feeling good, sleeping well and generally holding my ish together pretty well.

Granted, the house is always cluttered and there is never NOT a pile or two (or seven) of clean laundry sitting in various corners, but I'm so proud of us for kicking butt at this parents of two thing

Yesterday I got out of the house by myself and enjoyed some me time at target (and some new pairs if shoes!)

And DS slept for SIX HOURS straight last night!

My DD (almost 3) and I had a Target date today without DH or the baby. It was glorious! And yesterday I walked 2.5 miles, which felt awesome!

I got out of the house yesterday and finally got Starbucks. It felt so good!

I've also mastered the side-lying position with DS. It makes night-feedings so much easier and more relaxing.

Plus I've driven twice now and started planning outings!

I'm halfway through my 10 hour drive home with a 2 year, 4 week old, 2 dogs and my DH!

My husband and I went to the grocery store this morning with baby and I managed to walk around for half an hour! Feels like enormous progress after two weeks stuck on the couch because of my stupid stitches.

I cooked for the first time since having the baby, made a chicken rice soup with enough to freeze.

Got the baby back on the boob, so far haven't used any bottles today and I'm considering returning the pump and not renting another month

KendraL86 · April 2014

I am fully dressed (makeup, hair, and heels).

I went on an hour long walk.

I am wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans!

LO slept a four hour stretch last night.

Kyllarae · April 2014

This morning I bathed the baby, took a shower, got us both dressed and ready, and somehow managed to get us to church on time!

rtv3 · April 2014

I managed to go to both church services today

And didn't snap at any of the multiple comments on my not having had this baby yet (due tomorrow).

haziedaze · April 2014

DS1 slept through the night in his own bed for the first time ever!

DS2 slept a lovely 2.5 hr stretch in the Mamaroo making Mommy jump out of bed with a start that she felt so rested.

DH and I both showered, we all got dressed, and made it to church on time!

I showered and could almost bend enough to wash my lower legs. I made crockpot chili for dinner. I've got six feedings worth of breast milk in my fridge and am about to undergo today's power pump in an hour. And I finally got the courage to peel off my SteriStrips and look at my C-section scar.

Also, LO is fed, changed, and still alive. Job well done, I'd say

snmetz7 · April 2014

We took LO to whole foods and wore her successfully. She didn't fuss or cry like she does in the stroller. Win!

I am spending some baby free time reading a book all by myself.

Mom took me out to dinner last night just me and her.

heids4787 · April 2014

I managed to squeeze in that nap and walk = my day was awesome!!

Now, let's see if I can manage to feed LO while catching Game of Thrones and then having her set for bed by 10 pm. That would be a true miracle.

I shaved both legs in the shower.

A ridiculous blow-out last night (you could see the poo come flying out of the diaper) finally convinced DH that I was right and trifolding prefolds is not super effective for newborns, and today he finally started angel folding them! Now I don't have to worry about getting pooped on after he does a diaper change!

abbeylanecb · April 2014

I got all three kids to church alone this morning and we were early!!! I felt like super mom!

MrsZ0811 · April 2014

I made chex mix, pumpkin bread and made dinner. I also did 5 loads of laundry, which is all put away! Also ran the dishwasher and emptied it! (DH then proceeded to ask if i had washed the sheets and towel too! No buddy, I didn't get to those today, but I did wash ALL your clothes!)

baileymama3 · April 2014

2 days till due date and I went on a long walk with DH, bought a baby book for the first year, went grocery shopping, roasted a chicken/veggies, organized the fridge and made homemade mint lemonade. Now relaxing and about to enjoy a movie and cake!
