Where does the time go?

I really don't understand how mayna can manage to post and comment so much. Her baby is one week old! My kid will be four weeks old on Sunday and I don't feel like I have time to do anything other than clean bottles, do laundry, and try to stuff food in my face whenever I can. And if I ever have to leave the house to run an errand or something, forget it. All bets are off.

I had my postpartum checkup today and it was good to see The Midwife I Love, especially since she was so sweet and supportive about our nursing woes. She told me to "throw away all of the teas and tinctures" and stop beating myself up for low supply. I'm working on it, but it was nice to know that my hippie midwife was like, "It happens. Some people don't make much/any milk," and didn't give me any more pumping schedules or "helpful tips."

My mom and John (her husband) are in RI overnight visiting friends. It is so quiet here without people in the house, but I had to do my own dishes. Bummer. What am I going to do on Sunday when she leaves for real? I am comfortable with my mom doing chores around the house but I feel weird about the idea of Jen's parents cleaning my house. I guess it's because they're not my parents. *shrug* Hopefully I can get over it.

Jen put up some cute pictures on her Flickr account. Yay!

I can nurse and use the laptop at the same time... (and she nurses ALL THE TIME or sleeps). If I haev something good to post, I'll pick the laptop up and write it, then put it down again. If I have time where I'm just sitting around then I'll do my FL, and I hit shift-apple to open up new tabs for what I want to comment on... sometimes I'll get to them the same day sometimes the next day.
My husband is still at home and he's been doing a lot of cooking and housework. And the kids self-entertain quite a bit. They're on the patio with chalk and bubbles right now.
Right now Vivi is sleeping on my chest and I really don't want to put her down. :-)
