Getting E to nap in his crib instead of on me is so freeing! Right now I'm catching up on the internet and having a second cup of coffee, but I've been using my sudden free time to catch up on housework or prep dinner.
What do you do when your LO naps?

Eat, clean, do laundry, and if all those things are done I enjoy some good old day time tv : )

1st nap (shortest): drink coffee, sit around and lounge, check email..
2nd nap: clean house if needed and/or get something productive done (organize bills,make phonecalls)
3rd nap (long eat): make dinner for DH & I and sometimes have time to eat it and clean up before LO wakes up.
At night when DH does bath time and puts him down is when I wash all bottles and shower.

Because he tends to nap around lunch time, I'm usually busy trying to get a filling and nutritious meal in me in the shortest amount of time possible. I can never tell how long he's going to stay down! Usually I get an hour but sometimes I have to spend that hour cooking.
During his afternoon nap, I try and do something around the house to help DH out but my energy levels have been lacking a lot lately. Guess that's what happens when you're dealing with a twelve month old and nearly 35 weeks pregnant!

Usually I try to shower and clean or cook. LO skipped her morning nap, so I'm just going to watch The West Wing while she's napping this afternoon.

depends on the day. Today for the first nap I made granola, wrote a blog post and checked email/FB/IG/HB etc.
For the next nap I'll probably fold some laundry, unload the dishwasher etc.
I usually do: computer time/TV, housework, cooking/baking/prep, phone calls, bills, meal plan, etc. So much to do!

morning nap - I sometimes work-out (should be better about this every day), take a shower, get ready and then usually do one or two chores. Afternoon nap - I catch up on blogs, Hellobee, and then log into work.

I'll eat a meal while she's napping, usually clean up, and sometimes just relax (catch up on TV that DH doesn't like or go online). If dinner needs to be prepped ahead of time, I'll do that too.

Since my kid won't nap longer than 25-30 minutes, I usually use the time to eat and go to the bathroom and get online. Sometimes I'll do the dishes or do laundry.

NOT housework. Her nap is the only real downtime I get, since I'm usually half asleep by the time she goes to bed.

This only applies to my weekend, but I usually do laundry and/or sit down and relax. After LO goes to bed during the week, I work out and DH and I eat dinner.

I either go online, do housework, watch some TV/read, but most often I nap with him.
