Lyla is just precious! I can SO relate to this post. My family stayed with us for the first two weeks of Shelby's life, and when they left I tried to get "stuff" done as well..and just like you, I got nothing marked off of my to-do list..not even a shower, ha! If you have a Bjorn or some other type of way to "wear" Lyla strapped to you...that is my advice! Shelby loved being close to me, and that freed up my hands to get a few things done throughout the day! Enjoy these precious moments because they fly by! I miss the days when Shelby would just let me hold and snuggle her...she's far too busy for that now! ;) Lyla is so lucky to have you as her mama! You are doing an amazing job!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449974501257922949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255839476600414601.post-69593207041433542522011-08-03T18:12:35.400-07:002011-08-03T18:12:35.400-07:00jenny....i feel your pain girl. and you know what...jenny....i feel your pain girl. and you know what, i'll tell ya - just go on and hold her. all.the time. :) it is for SUCH a short period of time. the house work will eventually get done, the meals will get cooked (or you'll pick something up) but there is only a small window of time when she wants her momma like this and when you are available to her. i feel bad for laney sometimes, because she is SO much like that and wants to be held a lot a lot a lot, but with libbi running around and needing me too, i don't have the luxury of just sitting and holding her for a large part of the day (even though i totally would!) :)<br />and, i used to think that slings and carriers were the dumbest things ever....until i had a baby that wanted to be held 24/7. have you thought about getting a wrap or a sling? that way she can still be "held" but you can have your hands free to do other things.....<br />hang in there girly and keep on keeping on. you'll look back on these days and realize just how short (and sweet) they were!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286560001905796964noreply@blogger.com
