Me time

JanuarysBaby1

As our LO's are approaching the 7 month mark (mine will be on the 16th) I'm just curious to what you ladies are doing for a little "me time" since our babies are getting older and are up more during the day I find my me time is far and few. When my husband is off Saturday and Sunday's, I do get a break but I decide to do grocery shopping, laundry, prep dinner, etc. nothing fun!

What is this "me time" you speak of?  Between work, cleaning and baby I have almost no down time.

I don't get any me time...unless mowing the yard counts? 
I just stay up really late usually to get an hour or two. If I don't use the time to do homework that is.

Now that she has longer naps I usually laze around and watch a Tv show during one nap. The other is cleaning or preping dinner. My husband and I try to do a date night once a month (realistically its once every 2 months) but we usually have us time every night after she goes to bed (goes to bed between 630&7) we will sit on our deck, turn on a movie. Whatever.

Now that bedtime has been fixed with CIO it's usually at night that I get "me" time or DH and I get "we" time. DH is the SAHD so when I get home from work I take over baby care and dinner. I don't really get a ton of me time. I'm a teacher (whose summer job just ended) so right now I do have the luxury of some "me" time but once school starts up that'll be gone. Work definitely follows me home. But back to the original question: it's usually TV, chores or a nap. Tonight I'm making hair bows for DD after she's asleep to contain her hair. I just had to trim her bangs, they were down to her nose.

Yeah, like PPs my "me time" is after LO goes to bed. By then I'm so tired that I usually just watch Netflix until my bedtime. Although I did make plans to go see Ghostbusters with my sister on Tuesday, while SO babysits, so that will be fun!

Yep me too. Me time is after she goes to bed, and usually I'm so tired I just watch TV. Tonight however, I did arts and crafts instead and it was really nice!! During the day, I usually nap or do chores while LO naps. Her naps are actually getting longer (used to only take four 30 min naps which drove me crazy, now she is doing 1-2 longer ones and a 3rd short one) so I'm able to get a little extra time to myself some days.

My "daily" me time is in the evening after LO goes to bed, and I come out and pump while watching a few minutes of old seasons of reality shows.  Although I did go to our local coffee shop on Saturday by myself for about 2 hours and just read a book. It was so great.

I get my "me" time in evenings, after DH is done with work or on the weekends if I want it. He'll feed, bathe and put baby to bed no issues. I usually go take a workout class. This week was extra special... Monday I worked out, Tuesday I had a ladies dinner, and tonight I'm getting my hair done. 3 days in a row! I had an invite for something tomorrow also, but I said no cause i miss my evenings with LO this week I love that her and daddy get alone time though, they adore eachother. I want to start taking my pups for weekend morning hikes again soon.

My husband works 12-13 hour days and is training for the NYC marathon. So during the week the only me time I get is early morning, I wake up around 6:00 and go for a run and my husband gets up with babe and starts the morning routine then I take over so he can go to work. Then I use his morning nap (45 minute napper over here) to drink my coffee and escape in my book on the deck. Then after he goes to bed I start cooking dinner and sip a glass of wine (I love cooking so I consider this "me time" lol). Other than that I go to a MNO twice a month and on the weekend go to get a mani/pedi

Does going to work count? That's about the extent of it for me.
