It doesn't seem like it now, but it does get better. Lately LB has been content to play by himself in the same room where I'm reading, which is a miracle. And DH has stepped up to give me more time by myself, which is nice. And thank god for business trips.
I remember when LB was little I did a lot of reading while nursing him. It seemed to help a bit. Getting DH to handle him while I went to do errands was also helpful, just because I could go out without the fifteen lbs of baby and the 30 lbs of baby stuff ... and it wasn't purely selfish as I came back with eggs and toilet paper!

It gets better. And more rewarding. I promise.
