Eat takeout, use paper plates, take any and all help that you can get. Around that time, you'll hit your stride and it really gets easier. For now, get out of the house when you can, the fresh air will be good for all of you! If you can, try to have a little one-on-one time with Jordan. I've found my oldest is (generally) more well-behaved when I spend a little time really focused on her, even if we're just coloring. Try to figure out what you need to feel like a normal person, and see if you can do it everyday (a stretch, I know), whether it's showering, exercise, Lime-a-ritas, painted nails, you get the drift. You'll get the hang of it soon!Francinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904134944835186397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944575255695701955.post-67860377177439711172013-09-24T18:04:46.168-07:002013-09-24T18:04:46.168-07:00I don't think I've formally commented a co...I don't think I've formally commented a congrats...so, congrats! I loved reading your birth story. And Weston is SUCH a great name! <br /><br />I love me some good red wine or nice bourbon, but I must say that those dang lime-o-ritas are amazing.

I've got this! How does anyone do this?! Ok, I've got this!! Cut yourself some slack, mama. It's supposed to feel like this :). As far as tips, all I've got are getting out of the house, even just for a walk around the block, accepting help when it's offered, and not waiting until the house is picked up to have people over to help me entertain my children / hold the baby so I can pee in peace. People generally want to help, you just need to tell them what you need. Wish we were neighbors so I could lend a hand! Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676579695252330189noreply@blogger.com
