The problem with having more than one child is that I do not have more than two hands/arms. I am constantly shifting between Isaiah and Josiah. My arms are never empty. I've learned to type with just one hand--a feat for someone who has typed with two hands since the 1st grade. I can hip Josiah while I wipe Isaiah's nose. I can do homework while I nurse. I can do these things, but anything that makes another arm accessible is a modern marvel.
Take the Moby Wrap for instance. It is a wonderful tool for mothers who prefer to have their baby attached to their chest. You can nurse. You can type. You can entertain a five year old with play dough. Most importantly, you can cook/bake. Both arms are willing and ready. You can rule the world with the Moby Wrap and it is only a piece of stretchy cloth.
The Bumbo is another fantastic invention. Your baby is sitting up, entertained, while you type or stuff your face or maybe...shower! The baby looks around while you put on makeup or, on occasion, kiss your husband for longer than a few seconds.
The Hip Hammock, though I do not have one, looks promising. I'm going to rock that thing when the time comes.
And the most important invention of all...the BLUETOOTH. This device, this tiny piece of technology, is made specifically for use of both hands. That is the exact reason why it is dubbed 'hands free.' The problem with my bluetooth is that it doesn't work with my new phone. I charged it. I turned the phone onto 'bluetooth' mode and I clicked 'search.' I tried numerous amounts of times. Still nothing. I need help. I want to talk to people while I drive. I want to talk to people while I nurse. I do not want to spend more money on a new blutooth. I need help.
