I would say that your baby may increasingly nap for longer times and, possibly, not in the sling! I was surprised at the amount I could get done in the time he was asleep. Even now at 11 months, I could easily fit in two hours a day at home, sometimes four. However, after six months my baby required a lot more attention during the day and it was impossible to work from home. But that just might be me!

Your short to-do list is a great idea, even if you prefer schedules. :) Some people swear by putting babies on a strict schedule, but that never worked for my boys and it sounds like Dot is pretty similar! I love that you are just going with the flow and doing what´s best for your little girl. Good job. Getting back into the work world is going to be tough, but you´ll be fine.
