My New Normal v.1.1

So here's (approximately) how things went down yesterday:

 9am - finally drag myself out of bed and feed Vincente breakfast, then nurse Joseline
10am - put Joseline down for a nap, do chores
11am - eat lunch with Russ
11:30 - head out for Park Day
1:30pm - come home and put Vince down for a nap, put away some laundry while Joseline decides whether or not to fall asleep
2:00pm - put Joseilne down for a nap, do more chores (sweep and dishes)
4:30pm - take a 30 minute nap while Vincente plays in the living room
5:00pm - wake up and play with Vincente - somewhere in there I nursed Joseline
6:00pm - start cooking dinner
6:45pm - eat dinner
8:00pm - get Vincente ready for bed
8:30pm - Vincente bedtime
9:30pm - Joseline went to bed

Joseline is getting a lot more efficient at nursing. She'll be done in 10 minutes or less at each breast. She just gulps it all down and then she's like "okay, I'm done." It's really nice - it's not like Vincente who would dink around for 15 minutes and then "be done" and then nurse again an hour later. She nurses for 20 minutes all around and then she's good for a few hours. Sometimes three hours. It's really nice. She just knows how to get her milk, I guess. 

Anyway, her nursing more efficiently does two amazing things for me 1.) takes up less time in the day, and 2.) gives me bigger windows of time to stick to my planned routine. 

Yesterday I was able to sweep the house (you may not be able to tell I swept, but I did! Stupid dirty, dusty house and hardwood floors), do all the dishes, put away the laundry, play with Vincente, and even blog a little bit. Oh yeah, AND we went to the park. I can't believe I had all the time. Today is shaping up to be just as good. :D
