SAHM- Wake up time...

I'm a FTM and a SAHM and I was wondering what time all the other SAHM's get up and going with LO for the day? 

We usually get up when DH is getting ready for work around 6-6:30 for a feeding. Then fall back asleep until 8:30-9 then we're both up and going until LO naps 11:30-noonish.

 

 

Re: SAHM- Wake up time...

  • Depends on the day. LO just started a weird "I need to be up in the middle of the night" stretch. He'll usually fall asleep around 8-ish and we'll sleep for an hour or two. Once that's done, that's when we kind of get ready to start our day. When I can help it, i don't make any sort of dr appointments, work obligations, or anything like that before noon. Since I take the late night feeding and I've been getting up with Danny in the middle of the night, those few hours in the morning make a huge difference,. 

    Today though, it's a sit in pajamas day all the way. I have no where to go, no where to be, no one's coming over, and I'm dead tired. When my husband gets home, I'm going back to sleep. I can';t stand the idea of sitting in PJs or sweats all day, but I'm so dead tired that I really need the day to veg out.

  • I usually let LO dictate my actual wake up time. Depending on the day it's anywhere between 7-9 am. He will just spring awake instead of eating half asleep and dozing off again. He gets all wide-eyed and smiley and starts chatting and wiggling around, and that's my sign to get up and start our day!

  • We're up for the day between 7:30 and 8:30. I don't get the kids dressed until at least 10, unless we have somewhere to be.

  • LO gets up around 7 or 8 and then takes a morning nap around 10-11. My husband has been sleeping in the guest room since he needs a solid night sleep for work and LO and I bedshare.

  • Up for good by 7 with my boys.  If I just had the baby, it would be more like 10!

  • I'm usually up by 5:30, sometimes with the older one, sometimes she sleeps until 6:30 or so.  Baby is up for first feeding at 7.  We are almost always out of the house by 9.

  • It depends; it's between 6:30 and 8:30 usually; she's awake for a couple of hours and then we go back to sleep for an hour or two.

  • I wake up when my husband does, at 5:30am and coincidently that's usually when DS gets up too. If he's up around then, we will take DH to work (usually DS will fall back asleep in the car). Today though, DS slept until 7:30! DH took the train to work, and I got 2 full quiet hours to myself...unfortunately spent doing laundry and cleaning since my parents are coming into town to visit.

  • With my first LO, we'd start our day around 10am each day.  With this baby, we need to drive DS#1 to school and run errands...so we get going around 7-8am.

  • We usually wake up around 8 when FI gets up for work, she has a bottle and goes back to sleep till 11/12ish. Most of the time I get up and get dressed, have coffee and toast, etc. Sometimes if I had a really bad sleep night (insomnia) I'll go back to sleep or at least lay and rest with her.

  • Usually around 8 am. Right after DH leaves for work.
  • He is usually 1/2 awake for his 6;30 am feeding (which is like clockwork) and then he will go back to sleep until 8 so then I usually put on my robe and head down stairs where he is awake for about an hour, nurses and then takes a nap for about an hour. Now whether or not I get a shower in the morning or even before 2 pm is a whole other story!
