Multitasking Mom

As a new mommy, I find myself with less time than ever to get done the things I used to take for granted. Here are a few things I’ve done (or resorted to, as the case may be):

  • Eating yogurt while showering.
  • Using the restroom with a sleeping baby on my shoulder. This requires keeping one hand on baby the entire time while utilizing the other to get pants up and down, wipe, get back up, then wash one hand WITH one hand, switching hands to keep baby steadied on shoulder and wash other hand.  DO NOT FLUSH so as not to wake baby.
  • Doing all computer interactions on iphone. This includes emailing, facebooking, looking things up on internet search engines like “why won’t my baby nap in her crib,” etc.
  • While feeding my daughter with a bottle, using my mouth as a suction cup on the bottom of the bottle to keep it in place while using one hand to open a door or turn on the dish washer, and so on.
  • Eating only foods that require one hand such as sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, hot pockets, etc. Note: take care to sweep any crumbs from said foods off of baby.
