After we got hoem from the hospital, we still had to deal with homework and school for the teens. So our routine had to remain pretty much the same.<br /><br />We had OUR time with the new one during the day, but when the kids got home from school, we had to attend to other people as well.<br /><br />After he went back to work and it was just me and the baby, I found that I had NO time during the day for me. I slept when she slept, didn't have much time to eat because I wasn't adept enough yet to eat while nursing. I got a large glass of water and sat down on the couch or in the bed to nurse. If someone was home with me, I had help to make sandwiches or whatnot.<br /><br />We were very blessed with meals from church. While my husband could've done the cooking (as was our routine back then), it was nice to not worry about it.<br /><br />9 hours a day with the baby??? Yeah, I'd believe that. But my husband is so efficient at EVERYTHING he does, when he was home we probably were able to get more done than the average new parent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447760727419360984noreply@blogger.com
