Multi-tasking Mishaps of a Mother of Four

I was born to multi-task. It is in my blood. It is also part of how I was raised, growing up in the restaurant business, I could deliver chips and salsa, take an appetizer order and seat a table of five within a few minutes, by the age of seven.



So I was made for this, mothering four small children.



I have kept a list of all the things I can do while nursing my four week old...



Nursing while going to the bathroom.



Nursing while changing Audrey's diaper.



Nursing while brushing Avery's hair.



Nursing while making a salad.



Nursing while sword fighting with McClaine.



Nursing while making coffee.



Nursing while facebooking and watching American Idol.



There are multi-tasking mishaps, like when you are nursing and in the middle of a diaper change and you are out of wipes. Yikes.



Or you are nursing and making a salad and the ranch dressing splatters on your babe.



I find it very challenging to nurse while showering. I also find it very challenging to blog and raise four children, and that is why you haven't heard from me for over a week.



Pictures to come... hopefully before next week, and as soon as Reece's baby acne clears up!

And I thought I was the ultimate at multitasking!

Please tell me you are at least wearing Reece in a sling or something while doing this.

Very multi-talented! My baby had acne so bad and everyone was asking for pictures, ugh!
I was wondering about the sling thing too. :)
