I was suicidal and homicidal after 2 weeks of this schedule because I was so out of whack. She came over once and the house was so dishoveled she hired me a nurse-maid for 2 weeks (yes only 2 weeks) so that I could get my groove on. This is from a woman who raised her children while on Valium. There is something to be said about a drugged up period of time- you miss most of it.<br/><br/>Oh yeah and thanks for stopping by :) I loved it when my ex MIL would say- sleep when the baby sleeps…ok then who will do dishes, fold laundry, clean house and so on? and just in case have you ever met a happy adult who only sleeps in spurts of 2 hours?

Great ad/assvice. The schedule stuff - oof, are you right. My schedule is going to be something like: Make sure to eat and sleep in between nursing sessions, or sometimes not. Or sometimes one but not the other. <br/><br/>Sound okay? Thanks so much Lisa. Great ad/assvice. The schedule stuff - oof, are you right.
