Baby C is now 3-weeks old and what a crazy few weeks it has been! There were definitely moments when I wondered if we would survive, but here we are. Nothing is remotely close to perfect, but we're happy for the most part. I have learned A LOT in a mere 21 days and I know there is buckets more I still need to know. All that will come in its own due time, I'm sure. Today I want to focus on one thing I learned quick--breastfeeding takes a long time and its fairly boring (though sweet in its own way!), and that's why so many moms watch so much TV.
Read on for a list of everything I have watched in the past 3 weeks...its ridiculous. Especially considering I tried to occasionally limit my media intake and keep the TV off for a feeding or two.
- 5 episodes of Alias
- 2 episodes of Downton Abbey (I don't think the season finale was done well at all. Bad form Julian. Bad form.)
- 2 episodes of Castle
- 2 episodes of The Best Food Ever
- The Today Show on a daily basis
- An episode of Nature about Crows
- An episode or two of Antiques Roadshow
- Multiple episodes of Mad Money...a show I really don't even like/get but there's not much on at 3am. Really.
- More episodes of Criminal Minds than I can count
- 4-5 episodes of Without a Trace
- Rachael Ray 3 days out of 5 in the week (so...let's just say 9 episodes)
- The 48 Hours episode about Ryan Ferguson
- Other random television like Dr. Phil, The Doctors, Ellen, Katie, etc.
- Tangled
- Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs
- Rudy
- The Man From Snowy River
- Big
- The Hunger Games
- Hoosiers
- Follow Me Boys
- 13 Going on 30
- What the Deaf Man Heard
- The Notebook
- Newsies
- Shrek 2
- Fried Green Tomatoes
- Win a Date With Tad Hamilton
- Sleepless in Seattle
- Bandslam
- Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince
- All the President's Men
And today we're looking at watching Runaway Bride and/or Pinocchio and/or a little more Alias. Oh get excited...

I added it up once when Ellie was first born, I spent 8 hours a day feeding her. It's a long time!
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh you kill me. I laughed right out loud about crows. Watching tv is a must! Otherwise I doze and am woken up by a mad baby being sprayed in the face with breast milk, trying valiantly to latch back on on her own.
