Ha! She wants to be held....and of course, I want to hold her! I don't get to be with her as much as I like, anyway.... Sometimes she will sit in her bouncy chair and "help" me make dinner, or I'll lay her in the pile of dirty laundry and she'll keep me company as I fold clothes....but really - I can get almost NOTHING done. My house has NEVER been in such dreadful shape!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-21196813783621242762013-03-11T23:20:29.506+04:002013-03-11T23:20:29.506+04:00That's true, I suppose.

It's never really in my PLAN to lie around on the floor, and I must admit I'm not always thinking about "quality time"...more that I give up on juggling and pick whatever can't wait, which is taking care of the baby. :) I've never really gotten the hang of doing housework and baby care at the same time.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-70376677446650503382013-03-11T19:45:07.933+04:002013-03-11T19:45:07.933+04:00different *pace*different *pace*Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-56339491346872244402013-03-11T19:44:00.710+04:002013-03-11T19:44:00.710+04:00It is a different place...I think the slowness has...It is a different place...I think the slowness has to do with the fact that it's the first baby though, so you can just lie on the floor all morning with him if you want...I think it will be much different with another child added to the mix, having a busy toddler AND a baby! That will be fun too, but I think there's something special about the first child and the devoted time we have to spend with him.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.com
