I am so glad it's Friday afternoon. Jamie will be home in a few hours and I can enjoy the weekend. Hopefully I can actually get some stuff done and get Jamie to do a few things around here too. Number 1 on the list: installing the childproof locks on the cupboards. *Someone* has been putting off doing it basically since Addy has become mobile, and I am sick of picking up stuff she has pulled out of the cabinets and drawers and fishing her out of the lazy-susan cupboard.
I am also looking forward to a break from the laundry. This week has been an entire week of catching up on laundry and I am almost there. There's a load drying right now, a load in the washer waiting for the dryer and one more load to be washed. That is the closest I have been to caught up probably since Addy was born. In the past 5 days, I have washed, dryed, folded and put away...I would say if not 20 loads, pretty darn close to it. I am so sick of laundry but I will stay caught up with it from now on.
My Gorgeous Baby sling arrived this week too. I am having some difficulties with it, though. I can get Addy into it no problem in either the tummy-to-tummy with legs out position or the hip hold position. But I have been having some real issues with Lexi. I bought it basically for the cradle hold so I can nurse her in it or let her sleep in it so that I could get some housework done. But she does not like it and I can't figure out how to position her to nurse her. I tried the tummy-to-tummy hold with her today (legs in, though, not out like with Addy) and she liked that a bit more but I can't nurse her in that position. And I still don't even know if I have her in right in either of those positions. I'm sure that the sling fits me, I just don't know how to get Lexi in it. With Addy it's easy because her body isn't hidden away in the sling. But with the positions for Lexi, I don't know how she is supposed to be positioned because in the pictures and videos, you can't actually see the baby's body once they're in there. I feel like she is lost in the pouch. And of course I can't contact the company I bought it from because the couple that runs it just had a baby so they are closed until June 1st. Any baby-wearing mommies out there that can offer me some advice?

I've been a laundry goddess myself this past week. I never seem to get caught up. It doesn't help that the boys have to change several times a day because they've soaked themselves by playing in the snow in the back yard. I've washed so many freaking mittens and snow pants this week that I'm ready to burn it all. LOL
I got a Maya wrap when I had Nicholas. He always seemed so lost in it when he was little. I used it a few Christmases ago to go walking along Candy Cane Lane with him. He was pretty heavy but I did it without too much difficulty.
