Re: What do you do?

  • Loading the player...
  • I usually end up cleaning up our mess from feeding her, a bath, playtime, etc. Or I make myself lunch.

    I think maybe twice ever I have taken a nap when DD naps.

  • Pump, clean, wash bottles....wash bottles again.
  • I try and do all of those things ...eat, bump, do productive stuff, nap. But end up getting caught halfway through all of them and have to figure out what to do when he wakes up.

    Same!

  • Nap or eat. That's it. I can't do anything else because he usually naps on me.

  • Sadly, C only naps on me. However, once she is down for the night, I do productive stuff. Tonight, I did some laundry, prepped tomorrow's CDs, and took care of the dish washer. Same idea when I wake up before she does in the AM.

  • I'm surprised by everyone who is so productive! Granted it seems like lots of the LOs take decent naps... M usually only naps 30 minutes give or take so I feel like by the time I can put him down (just shy of 10 minutes in) I don't have much time before he wakes up.

    DS is the same. I try to get things done but he's not a good napper

    This. Unless I just let him nap on me. Then I watch tv and bump.

    Baby #2 (AND #3...SURPRISE!) Due Nov 17, 2016. Found out it was twins at 18+5! 


  • My kids is not a fan of naps.  We may get 20 mins so not much time to do much. 
  • I also do not have a good napper. During the day time I usually try to shower or eat quick. Sometimes I can get a load of laundry done.
    We are so excited to grow our family!

  • I don't know what these naps are that you notches take! And I didn't know they still had shows on TV since it's been so long since I watched. I do laundry, dishes, take care of my other kids, clean, make phone calls for appointments. Things like that.
