Here's a snipet into the daily life of living in the city.

Doing laundry. Such a detestable chore, since we don't have a washer/dryer in our apartment or even in our building! And such an even MORE detestable chore to do when you have a baby(who by the way is now 20lbs!) to carry with you. So, for those of you that live in suburbia here's the picture and for your gratitude journals today! I only do laundry every two weeks. We would go LONGER if we could, but not possible now with a baby.

I was going to try to put Nicholas on my back in the pack today; but after him screaming for 5+ minutes, I switched him back to the front carrying position. I then grabbed the bag of laundry detergent, etc. and proceeded to try and figure out how I was going to get about 50+lbs of dirty clothes down 6 flights of stairs, down the block and around the corner to the laundry mat!
I did get down the stairs with the cart of about half of the laundry. I took that to the laundry mat and then had to come back for the second half. Meanwhile, in my head thinking that by the time we have the second child, my husband hopefully will be making enough money to have our laundry picked up and delivered!

After getting the laundry started, we came back to the apartment to get Nicholas' stroller, where he would be much more comfortable for the next two hours. Back to the laundry mat. Coming home after finishing up would have been a good picture to see! I was pushing Nicholas in his stroller and pulling the cart of laundry. Only to have to run Nicholas upstairs in his stroller, then come back down and take one bag of laundry upstairs. Wait, then back to the laundry mat to get the remaining bag of laundry and back up 6 flight of stairs!

Needless to say, after bathing Nicholas and putting laundry away Daddy had to get supper for himself!

Sidenote: We started Nicholas on cereal this week!!! Always exciting for new parents. :)
