Today I was able to...

H went back to work today, its pretty scary to be by myself with DS who is 18 months and a newborn but so far I was able to BF the newborn with one hand and feed DS his oatmeal with the other hand. This is my little victory for the day. Since we had our babies what are some things you were able to do that maybe you couldn't while pregnant or now that you have little ones? Let's embrace the little victories!

  • I felt accomplished yesterday as well. I finally made it out to Target to do some shopping and baby wore for the first time outside my house. I was also scared to do it because in my head i had that fear of her falling out, plus every time i tried putting her in, she'd freak out and start crying. But yesterday I was determined and thankfully once she got settled in the carrier she was fine the entire time. It definitely got me feeling more confident about going out with her.

  • Today I loaded/washed/unloaded the dishwasher, switched laundry, and took DD (5yrs) and DS (5weeks) to the park. I have lots of laundry I could put away but I don't want to ;)
  • I mopped the kitchen and hall did a load of dishes and a load of laundry. It was a productive day. 
  • Today has probably been my most productive day to date! I got showered and dressed (always an accomplishment) then visited my grandma and stopped in at my office to have lunch and show off LO, we actually stayed out for a few hours and DD was awesome the whole time. When we got home I made dinner, threw in a load of laundry, made DH's lunch for tomorrow and got LO's bottles ready for tonight. 
  • ... Changed my clothes and DS's clothes 3 times because he spit up on both of us so many times.  I have also done laundry because I ran out of clean burp clothes and clean clothes that fit me. It has not been my finest day.
  • It's funny this was posted today because DD had her longest nap ever this afternoon (3.5 hours).  I was able to get the dishes done, laundry washed and put away, DS fed and ready for bed. I wish I could claim dinner under my list of accomplishments but it was totally a take out night.



  • I ate breakfast and lunch at the hours it should be ate. Able to wash dishes and pump for daddy's night time feeding 
  • Today I went on a picnic with my husband and baby, went walking at the park with some friends (3.5 miles!), visited husband at work, and went to Walmart. I drove all those places since I was finally cleared yesterday! I am EXHAUSTED but had a wonderful day! 
  • Today, I accomplished sitting on the couch most of the afternoon because I felt like crap. Stomach has been hurting every time I eat, and bleeding picked up again today (10 days PP) with clots. Thank goodness my mom took DD1 to the library this morning and decided to keep her for nap time because there was a loud tree trimming/chopping truck outside our house.

  • Yesterday I made it through a 3 hour newborn photo shoot with my 3 week old and 3 year old! I blow dried my hair & put makeup on for that, too. Today I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, did two loads of laundry, and had two visitors.

  • Today I went for a walk and played outside with the kids. It was 68 and beautiful. I also made some French dip sandwhiches in the slow cooker for dinner and gave both kids a bath. Any day I get dinner done before DH gets home is a win.

    Today I left the house for the first time since coming home from hospital 7 days ago. We went on a short walk. Feels like a massive achievement! How my life has changed hehe! 
  • Today I got LO to take her morning nap in her crib so I got to sleep until 9:30 instead of 7:00. Yay! Then I got to put a meal in the crockpot for tonight, which is the first time I've cooked since before she was born (my mom made a ton of food while she was visiting so it's not like we've been eating crap for almost a month lol)
  • Today I drove alone with the baby for the first time! We went less than 2 miles to visit a friend, but it's made me so anxious and I'm feelibg more confident now that I finally did it!
  • Today, I finally took a few pictures of LO. She's almost 2 weeks old, oops! I'm *hopefully* also going to get out of the house this afternoon with H and both kids, but DD1 is in meltdown mode and I'm not sure if we're going to make it out.

  • Today I got ready -I actually manage clothes, a pony tail or bun and some makeup everyday to help me feel better- if I stay in comfys all day I feel grumpy. I got kids laundry done (washed, dried, folded, AND put away), dishwasher unloaded, and my 6 week dr appointment done. Oh and part of a grocery list made. Monday I go back to work :( but I am a nanny so my kids come with me which is great, but I wish I had a few more weeks home. 
  • I showered and blow dried my hair(no messy bun today!) I also bathed both kids, went to the store, a docs appt, and got a thyroid blood draw before 1. And I'm in jeans and a real bra. But the biggest win is lo slept from 10-6 last night.
    Im hoping to go for a walk with the fam after naps since it's so nice out
