SAHM schedule

I am going to be home for 2 months and was just wondering what your typical day is like.  When do you get up, feed lo, exercise, etc?

Thanks.

This might be a little different because I have 2, but my days typically go like this:

8am- DD1 gets up, DH and I get up, I get ready while DH changes DD and feeds her breakfast.

9am - DD2 wakes up and gets a bottle, breakfast (yogurt), changed...

9:30/10 - we're out the door to something: playgroup, storytime, Gymboree music, etc...

11-12:30 - DD2 naps, often on-the-go

12:30 - lunch DD2 gets fruit (DD2 gets a bottle around 2)

2-5 DD1 naps

2:30-4:30 DD2 naps

during that time I pick up the house, clean, work out, read, whatever...

5/5:30 - snack time, DD2 gets a bottle.

Then we play in the playroom for a while, or outside, or go to the park, go for a walk.....

6:30 - DD2 naps, DD1 watches a show, and I cook dinner.

7 - dinner (DD2 naps until 7:30 and gets dinner then)

8:45 up for baths and bedtime routine. DD2 is in bed around 9:15 and gets her last bottle before bath, DD1 9:30. Then I pick up the house again and it's me and DH time

We usually get up around 7:30-7:45am.  Georgia is breastfed, so eats whenever she wants, usually every 2-3 hrs or so. 

We go out to run errands, to the park or play group ( I have a 4 yr old too ) etc. in the mornings. 

Home for lunch around noonish.  Oldest DD has her nap around 1-3pm.  This is Georgia long nap to, usually 1:30-4:30pm -ish....

As for exercise......HAHAHAHA!  My exercise is walking through the grocery store / mall, or at the park.

Dinner around 6:30pm ish.  DH usually does bathtime with #1, and her bedtime routine while I put Georgia to bed around 8pm.

ours is approximate but I'll give you todays:

6:30 am wake and nurse. then DD plays while I eat, and then pump a little. 

7:30: she eats solids, then we play together a little, change her nappy and down for a nap:

8:15-9am-nap. I either shower or clean a little (or internet)

9:30 play a little and then nurse, play some more or a 45min walk to get coffee.

11:30- nap, usually 1 hour but today only 30 min. I eat lunch during this time 

noonish- solids then nurse (sometimes opposite order). this is when we go out for errands if we have some to do. or DD plays while I try to get some laundry etc done.

3pm- last nap, 30min to an hour depending on how long her noon one was.

4pm- nurse

5pm- she gets another solid meal and then I start dinner

6pm- I (and DH if he's home from work) eat dinner.

6:45 - start bedtime routine, including a bottle of BM and a little nursing right before bed.

7:30-8pm, fast asleep

7:30 am - LO gets up, drinks a bottle, goes in swing

7:45 am - 10:45 am - we both sleep

10:45 am - We get up & LO drinks a bottle. Floor time, tummy time, and reading.

11:30-45 am - Feed LO solids.

12:00 p - Nap. While she naps I clean the kitchen or do some laundry. Then relax for a bit.

1:00 p - LO up, we play with toys. More floor time. Or she goes in the exersaucer while I work around the kitchen.

2:00-30 p - Same as 12:00p

3:00-30 p - LO up, drinks a bottle, "helps" me fold laundry, read books, etc.

4:00 p ish - Another nap and I start dinner

5:00pm - DH comes home, LO gets up, we all eat dinner together

Our schedule varies by about 30 mins - an hour from day to day. We mix our activities up, so we don't do the same thing at the same time every day. This is just what will likely happen and the time it will most likely happen at. Some days we go over to my neighbors house for a "playdate." And on days that aren't 100*F, we go outside and play in the pool, etc.
