A few months before I delivered, someone advised me to not get caught up in worrying about things and just to ENJOY the very special time. It was the best advice I received regarding raising a child. Sometimes it was/is hard to follow, but it's definitely an excellent point and great to pass on to other soon-to-be or new mothers. Good luck figuring out the nap. It took us a couple of months to really transition from a solid predictable 2 naps to a solid predictable 1 nap schedule. Sometimes we'd do one for a couple of weeks and then go back to 2 for a couple of weeks. Sometimes we just alternated days. That's a phase to definitely take your own advice about not worrying :)). That's nice for you that T has quiet play time. We didn't have that; it was "why are you leaving me in here when I'm not tired" time. :) I was definitely an adjustment for me to not have that extra time to myself during the morning once she dropped the morning nap! I have finally accepted the fact that there will be some days where I just won't get much done! Except of course to raise you know who which is after all the most important and fun thing that I could do, right?! I agree.
