The most useful lesson I have learned as a new mom is one of efficiency. I've always been an organized and efficient person, but having a 5 week old has taken this skill to another level. I know exactly how long Jake will tolerate his vibrating seat (7 minutes) before he becomes bored and starts to cry. Thus, I have perfected the 7 minute shower. His naps during the day last approximately 30-45 minutes now. As soon as I am able to put him down, I run around the house with a rotating list of priorities and hold my breath until I'm needed once again by Jake. Shockingly, I never get the list completed! Despite my amped up ability to be efficient, everything seems to take 3x as long as it did before Jake arrived.
I wonder if perfecting this efficiency skill will benefit me when I return to work?! Hope so!
