My suggestions (besides getting up a littler earlier in the morning):
1. This doesn't work for everyone, but I used to get Vietbabe up around 11 pm before I went to bed and played with her. She was all goofy and tired, but she was able to go back to sleep no problem after about 30 hour or 45 minutes of play. The next day when I was at work I felt like I had snatched some quality time. Worth a try.
2. While at work, at lunchtime shop for clothes, toys and such over the Internet. Looking through the toys on the Internet and thinking about what the little one would like is fun.
3. At lunchtime, I'd walk to a grocer and wander to find some new foods for the little one to try, like new fruit, or pick up bananas, a little toy or blankie here or there.
4. If you commute by train or bus - put together a photo album or some other task while on there. If by car, call friends and family by cell phone. Doing any of these things will involve doing something or talking about the little one, and will also free up your time when you are not working/commuting - so more time to spend with the little one.
PS - the Mommy Brain gets better. I was unable to engage in analytical thought until a few months. It comes back, it really does.
Good Luck!!
