Oh yeah!! To eat or pee...that is the question.
Wow - that is a LOT of diapers!! The whole baby thing is really where eternal stuff turns very hands-on practical, huh? Hmm...
well, now i know how young moms get back into shape so quickly!
Wow, so this is what "retirement" is like. :) At least you won't be bored. :)
Oh Erin, can I say I have soooo been at that 1:15pm part of the day where you exchange pj's for pj's. That describes the early days so very well.
I think you forgot to change baby...
I vividly remember calling Jen during newborn days and saying "It's 6:00 pm at night and I'm just now getting the opportunity to choose to eat, sleep or take a shower today." The cereal and potato chip supper sounds strangely familiar.
Being a SAHM is dang tough--good job, Erin!
Can I come over and cook for you? I also change a mean diaper...
Take Kristi up on her offer. Seriously. :)
