[quote=Anonymous]op, i'n new to posting on your topic (although i read it when you opened it a while ago) and i am also a MD married to an attorney (although he went to govt from big law, but still works a ton).

one of the best things we did was enlist some regular babysitting help - we hired an AU student to watch our kids for more or less set hours every weekend - 1-4 (both kids nap, so this falls over nap time) - if i'm working, or if he is, we extned those hours, but basically, we see this is as time to catch up on stuff - DH drops off his dry cleaning, i return stuff, we get groceries, i might get a manicure, whatever. its a known, set relief-time.

we also hired a second student to babysit in the evenings/late afternoons sometimes - she comes, plays while i cook or clean or run out and pick upfood - whatever.

outsource is going to be your favorite word for a while. and then use the extra time you're not worried about when stuff will get done to snuggle.

and yes, your 9 month old absolutely should be napping![/quote]
