having a kid takes ALL THE MINUTES
When 
norah had her first kid I naively asked her, "So what else do you do all day besides breastfeed?" Bless her heart for not laughing in my face because now I know the answer is NOTHING. If you breastfeed a baby that is pretty much all you do, punctuated by burping, diaper changes and outfit changes after they've spit up all over the place. It's a good day if you can also shower, brush your teeth, and eat. Not to mention precious, precious sleep. I seriously weigh about 20 lbs. less now than I did before I got pregnant--a combination of morning sickness, breastfeeding, and just not having any fucking time to eat. The only reason I am writing this entry now is because my mother-in-law is here and hanging out with the baby.
Anyway, I think the above paragraph is a pretty good summation of what I've been up to for the past 7 weeks. How are you guys?
