Cooking

This is what happens when the baby helps you cook

Getting $h!+ done

Sometimes you just have work that has to get done on the computer. And sometimes work has to get done on the computer while the baby won't let you put him down. Thank goodness for breastfeeding. It distracts the baby long enough for you to get your work done.

Midday vomits =

When the baby vomits once in the day, you clean them up and go about your business.  When the baby vomits twice in one afternoon, and one of those times is down your bra then this happens. A midday bath.

Carrying the baby and ... flossing

Sometimes you just have to floss your teeth. And sometimes you just have to floss your teeth when the baby won't let you put him down. That's when this happens

Going potty

Going to the bathroom is no longer about just going into a room by myself and shutting the door in relieving myself. Now it's about whether I can finish before Baxter licks the toilet or eats the garbage.  My priorities in the bathroom have changed so much since having  baby number three that sometimes I go days without pooping because I can't relax, and or I'm never alone. I don't know which is the bigger problem...

This is hard

This is hard in so many ways.  I suck at being the mom to 3.

Freezer Meals - Preparing for Baby #3

I am a very very lucky woman.  I have family from Florida and Sweden volunteering to stay with us for the first few weeks after b3 is born to help us with the day to day cooking, cleaning, and child care for b1 & b2.  This is  a wonderful thing!  However, I also know that there are times when life will be super hectic, and we will just need to have some food ready to go in the freezer so that we don't spend too much time ordering in dinners.  So, below are some of the recipes that I hope to make in the next 6 weeks to store in the freezer for those occasions.  The recipes below are tried and true.  The kids like some of these meals, but not all of them.
