Good Enough

I’m relearning that new baby= only having one arm available at any given moment. Such as these…

Open an apple juice bottle- the trick is to hold it between your knees to prevent the bottle from turning.

Type-this one takes some time, but it can be done.

Take a 2 year old to the potty.

Read.

Talk on the phone.

Pour cereal.

Hook the dog up to her run. (that was tricky, and she wanted to lick all over Annie)

so what can you do one handed?

Don’t forget vacuuming! I used to do that all the time w/a babe in arms.

That was, of course, back in the day when I had buff arms.

Um, I’ve changed a post-birth pad while breastfeeding. Many times.

i can open a car door with one finger - people with multiples should just grow an extra arm.

sounds like you’re doing well with her though. school starts in a few weeks - will that help you breathe at all?
