Motherhood and Showering

If you ask any mom with young children what they
consider a good day, most will respond with something
along the lines "I got a shower sometime in the last
24 hours and I ate more than leftover cheerios."
Before I had Seporah I took ridiculously long baths.
Sometimes 2 or 3 a day. They were a way to wind down.
I had an arrangement of bubble baths, bath salts,
bath cubes, a bath pillow for goodness sakes. So
these answers often worried me. Would I even get a
shower let alone a bubble bath? Well thankfully,
except for the day after Seporah was born when I
wasn't allowed out of bed and the week when Steven
retiled the bathtub (I did get clean that week, don't
worry), I have had a shower or a bath every single
day. Usually I get more than leftover cheerios too,
so to most moms, I've had 18 months (minus 8 days) of
good days.
Now usually in order to get my bath, I take it with Seporah. But I wonder as she's getting bigger and I'm getting bigger how this is going to work when there's 2 of them. We can't all fit in our bathtub (it's on the smaller size and the babes are only getting bigger is my thought). Do I let one scream bloody murder while I try to clean the spit up out of my hair? Or will I most likely be one of those mom's who finally say "I got a shower last Tuesday and macoroni and cheese for lunch, that was a pretty good day."
