Ally - Oh, yes, poos get nasty once solids start! Going out for burgers sounds nice!
Literati - you're right, there was a serious adjustment period for me getting used to taking care of two on my own as well. But for DH the issue is really exhaustion. The amount of time he has both is pretty limited, but the constant care of a baby is brutal on two hours of sleep. But still, maybe he will get into a better swing of things. He said he'd give it another couple weeks and see how he's feeling. So we'll see.
Just looking at your signature...happy 3 months to V!
AFM - we had a pretty good family night last night. DH took DD to the bank and grocery shopping after daycare. I managed to do some cleaning while they were gone, and then we just had relatively relaxed time at home. And we got Jack's first giggles!!! DD was jumping on her bed (wearing a pink flamingo swimsuit...cause that's what preschoolers do, lol) while DH sang the ladybug's picnic song and I was standing there holding Jack and he was busting up laughing at her.
I also tried swaddling Jack last night. I swaddled and nursed him to sleep and managed to creep away, but he only lasted 15 mins, boo. But he did seem to sleep better and was willing to let go of my boob after waking and eating. This morning he was in too light of a sleep when I had to get up to last without me, but I think he went back to sleep easily for DH while I got ready. I don't love the idea of swaddling while bedsharing because it really doesn't follow safe bedsharing guidelines, but I feel pretty confident he can't roll anywhere while snug up against me, so I might keep doing it if he sleeps better for it.
