OK though this could be a random... what small victories are you proud ofthis week?
I have 2. 1. Took 3 kids to the mall, big kids painted pottery then had lunch in food court and 2. Breastfeeding in public and with my dad around. Feeding covered up is not our favorite but I did it!

I am amazed by this. I thought I would cover up, but it's too hard and she hates it, so I just whip my boob out everywhere now and don't curr - in front of my dad, at restaurants, in church, at a winery in Napa yesterday, in a cemetery today. #babysgottaeat
ETA maybe my small victory is losing all modesty? Haha.
I managed to cook dinner and get the toddler bathed and in bed on time all while nursing every two hours. DH doesn't get off work till 8:00. We've been eating a lot of takeout and leftovers lately but not tonight!

DD wore underwear all day today and even napped and went to the store in them without any accidents.
I also made a schedule of activities for us to do next week in an effort to get me and the kids out of the house more.
Last, but certainly not least, I shaved. Something I've been putting off because I take super quick showers before my toddler destroys the house and the little one screams his head off.

I took the two kids and myself to the chiropractor and then to the Verizon store and no one freaked out or cried. It was the longest I've been out of the house since E has been born and it was amazing!!
Also my MIL came over on Tuesday and I didn't punch her in the nose like I wanted to
Managed to get dishes in the dishwasher in between dealing with a fussy, gassy, hungry baby. It took me all day, but we have clean dishes! I told H I was dropping the mic on that one.

This was the first day I had all 3 girls, all day, by myself. I am so thankful I've had the extra help this past month, but it was nice to see how I'd manage on my own. I got DD1 to preschool on time (and wearing an outfit that somewhat matched haha). Picked her up on time, too (woo hoo.)
I put the older 2 to bed, while nursing DD3, without you much of a fight, so I consider that a win. (MH went out with his friends for the 1st time since DD3 was born, so I was on my own)
Props to you moms with other little ones. My teen doesn't require me as much as my LO. Congrats on the small and big victories this week
We had a busy week because it's spring break so my teen was home all week. We had Drs appts, college stuff, band stuff, and we went to look at suits for my son's prom.
We went out to dinner today (local pizza place - best pizza ever). DD1 was amazingly well behaved and DD2 slept through the whole thing and only started to fuss a bit on the way home cause she was hungry. So DH and I both got to eat hot meals! And I got 4.5-ish hours of sleep tonight. Yay!

We went out to dinner at an actual restaurant and had a "date" night. LO was a fucking rock star and just chilled in her car seat. Take that people who said we'd never have a normal life again.
I've gotten dressed everyday in real clothes since LO came home.
I finally figured out how to tie the damn wrap and was able to successfully wear her long enough to make dinner.

We are weaning DD1 from her pacifier which she only uses to sleep. Last night we had a few wakeups and getting her down for nap time today was a little tough but it is still going better than I expected!
I've made it another day nursing even though my nipples are on fire and I want to quit. ... that's all I got lol.
This is huge! You should be proud of yourself. It really is one day at a time.
I've been told by many day 10 suddenly everything is fine. I'm half way there and today has been a good nursing day. As long as good are mixed with bad I think I'll survive. Every time I think I'm done she takes a long nap finally or something and that little break is like a reset.
Tonight LO fell asleep like 2 min before our pizza came and slept until like 5 min after we were done. I think that's the first time we've eaten dinner at the same time not holding her.
I've been able to stay on top of laundry and housework, and we go on walks almost daily and I shower after.
I developed SI joint pain a little after 37 weeks and had to stop running and it was painful to walk. I hoped it would get better after delivery but it didn't. I started PT a week and a half after delivery and just finished up this week. After a week of PT I was almost totally better and I have about another week before I can get back into running.

H is out with friends and of course my kids want to be difficult. But I managed to keep my cool and got both of them quieted down and in bed. Now I'm enjoying a beer and watching terrible TV. I'm in heaven.

We need to tackle this soon. She only uses her for naps and bedtime too, but she's also getting all 4 canine teeth. Ahhh!
I've gotten all 3 of us up and out the door by 8 almost every morning. DH leaves at 7 so I'm on my own getting us ready most mornings. I've kept up on laundry and diaper laundry. I get it folded and put away within the day every time so far! And the rest of the house looks pretty good most of the time too. I did solo bedtime last night and tonight since DH had to work late both nights. DS is fairly easy to get to bed, but I'm proud of myself for doing it in my own.
