 Hi Liz! Congratulations on getting to 4 weeks! You
 might also post on Facebook - sometimes that gets more
 responses. But here are my thoughts! My twins are 4.5
 months, and I've been solo during the day since they
 were about 2.5 months. Since you'll be by yourself
 during the day, it's awesome that you can have a night
 doula regularly to be more rested! That's a great
 start. I had someone tell me to go with the EAT plan
 for the day and I found it a helpful model: Eat (them),
 Activity (them), Time (for you, while they nap). At
 that age, an activity is basically anything - tummy
 time, a walk, "exercises" (lie on their backs and I
 move their legs and arms in different ways) and
 massage, just wrapping them both in a wrap (I used a
 Moby) and walking around the house singing and
 dancing/bouncing (or doing chores is good too). I found
 getting out of the house once a day is really important
 for my sanity. Someone advised me to have my husband
 prep breakfast for me before he leaves, and that was
 really helpful too. Even if he just put fruit & granola
 in a bowl and then I added the milk when I was ready -
 otherwise I would put off eating for too long.Good
 luck! It might be hard at first, but it will get
 easier!!Laura
