I never realized how hard getting ready for the day or going to the store was going to be with a baby.

making sure my 9month old is changed and fed (or at least a bottle made in case he gets hungry while were out) takes at lease 20 min. (he now stands and tries to walk so changing his diaper is quite a challange!)

then trying to shop and keep him occupied at the same time,or trying to carry him and all the groceries. I love him very much, but he is extremely heavy. I comend you for caring for four boys, it's a job in itself. My one boy is enough for me. I also work part-time and am about to start back at college.

You are doing fine. and thanks for the Kudos.

Kids do grow up. I found it hard to do the same with infant twins, The best thing I ever bought was a sling. If you don't have one borrow one, make one, or buy one.

I don't think that I could had survived with out one.

It left my hands free and the closness along with the rocking of the ride usually put that babe to sleep, this gave me some goo goo time with the babe I had in the cart.

I used my sling till they were walking, and the got exerise too.

Now they are in school and I can grocery shop easier and work at this site and continue the schooling On-Line.

Good like and keep me posted about the sling if you choose to use one.

Hope that helps, Peace
