ReplyDeleteOh yeah!! To eat or pee...that is the question.
ReplyDeleteWow - that is a LOT of diapers!! The whole baby thing is really where eternal stuff turns very hands-on practical, huh? Hmm...
ReplyDeletewell, now i know how young moms get back into shape so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWow, so this is what "retirement" is like. :) At least you won't be bored. :)
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteI think you forgot to change baby...
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteTake Kristi up on her offer. Seriously. :)
