Adjusting

I've only been left alone with both kids for the stretch of an hour or two, and that was while Dave was within shouting distance, up in the garage. But I'm already daunted by the thought of being responsible for juggling the needs of two very dependant youngsters at the same time. Eva only takes an hour or so nap after lunch, and Amanda has already decided that's her wide awake time, so I doubt I'll be able to catch a nap during the day. And Amanda also tends to want to nurse at the exact time when we're trying to feed Eva or get her ready for bed. I can tell it's going to be a challenge for me for awhile, but I hope I get the hang of it sooner rather than later. My parents are only here for one more week (which is all the more reason why I want to be fully functional by then). After they leave, Dave will be home, but I'll still be alone with them quite a bit while Dave gets other things done. I bought a sling that will hopefully make it easier for me to multi-task, giving me a couple free hands.
