Re: What's your daily schedule?
OMG I feel like weak sauce compared to you! Here's mine:
5am - gym (2x/weekdays, depending if LO had a *good* night)
6:45 - shower
7am - feed LO
8am - play, hold LO for a nap, eat breakfast, clean, errands, whatever I can get done.
11am - feed LO
1pm - Gymboree class (Tue/Thurs) or errands
3pm - feed LO, play, clean, whatever I can get done. Try to get LO to nap.
5pm - try to start dinner
6pm - bath LO
7pm - feed LO
7:30 - eat dinner, play with LO, whatever I can get done.
8:30 - put LO down for sleep in his crib
9pm - hang out with DH, read, browse, shower if I didn't shower...me time
2-3am - feed LO
4-5am - LO fusses so either me or dh bring him to our bed to snuggle
Yes, I have a blog and it's hilarious (except when it's not)
I just want to say thank the Lord that LO STTN.
5:00 am wake up and start to get ready for work
5:45 wake LO up to BF (if she hasn't already woken up by then)
6:05 leave for work and commute 45 minutes
6:50 am arrive at work
8:30 pump
12:00 lunch and pump
3:30 pump
5:00 pm leave work
5:45 pm get home and start dinner and hopefully eat dinner before LO needs my attention
6:30 pm feed LO and spend the next 2 hours playing, rocking, and calming her down
8:30 pm BF LO and put to bed
9:00 pm pump again and then get things ready for the next day or clean if I can
9:30 pm time with DH until I pass out around 10:00
5-6 am- DD wakes up, eats, goes back to sleep
7-9 am- DS wakes up (And DD wakes up usually not long after DS.)
9-11 am- Another bottle for DD, breakfast for DS and I, clean-up and play time with DD & DS (often we'll all get down on the floor and play with DD, DS is really into helping DD learn to grab or watching her roll... talking to her, etc.)
11 am- DD usually goes down for a short-ish nap, about an hour, hour and a half, in her PnP in our room. I take a quick shower while DS plays. (More often than not he'll play with his cars and/or brush his teeth or get into my make-up brushes in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. Little stinker!)
11:30-Noon- DS and I make & eat lunch while DD is napping. Clean up from lunch, too.
12:30- 1pm- DS and I usually do something together if DD is still (miraculously!) napping. If DD is up, I'll usually read to both of them. DS usually picks out a couple of books.
1-3 pm- Bottle for DD, then more play time. I'll pop DD on her play mat or in the jumparoo, and DS will play with her, or play with his own toys in his room for a bit.
2-3 pm (depending on the day)- DD goes down for another nap, another hour, hour and a half. I use this time to let DS color or play with his puzzles (something more learning-based) at the kitchen table while I prep for dinner (if needed), do/start any laundry that needs done, and/or clean up in the common areas of the house. (Kitchen and living room.)
3-3:30- 5: I'll let DS watch a movie, I feed DD and do more play time (tummy time, jumperoo, just talk with her and sing some silly songs, etc.)
5- Start on dinner
5:30-6- Eat once dinner is done. (DH is *usually* home by 5:30- 5:45, but we don't hold dinner for him, because we feel it's good to keep the routine up for the kids.)
6:30-6:45- dinner clean up.
6:45-7pm - Bath time for DS, Bottle time for DD. (We alternate bath nights for the kids, unless DS got particularly dirty on a night when it's DD's bath night.) We also alternate who gives the bath/who's feeding DD, so both kids get time with each of us. DS is allowed to play in the bath for awhile.
(**At least twice a week, we do dinner early, regardless of Daddy being home, and I take DS (and DD, if Daddy wasn't home), to the park to play. We usually leave around 6 and are home by 7:15.**)
7:30-7:45- story time for DS. 1-3 books, depending on what he picks out.
8-8:15- Bedtime for DS.
8:15- 9pm- This is usually the time of day where DD wants nothing but Daddy, as she doesn't get to see him much during the week, so I let them have their time, and I either do more around the house (if something needs done), or I take a bath, read on my Kindle, etc. Me time.
9:30- 9:45- DD usually takes a small bottle, a snack, if you will, about 2-3 oz, and then goes down for the night.
9:45- 11 (on the weekdays particularly)- DH and I catch up, watch a movie, cuddle and talk, whatever.
11- 4/5/6- Sleep time for Mommy & Daddy
4 am- DH gets up for work, and *sometimes* DD will wake up (as she's in our room), and DH will get her a bottle, if she's up... but it doesn't happen that way often.
See start of this post at 5-6 am- Repeat. (for Mommy)
These are roundabout times, really. I don't keep my kids on so tight a schedule that there's no room for change. But usually this is how it goes. The weekends, we get a little more lax in things, because usually DH is off of work, and we'll go out and do stuff. But thankfully, both kids have no problem getting right back into the routine by Sunday night.
5:30-6am - LO wakes up - pump and feed at the same time
6:30am - Pack eveything for the day
7:00am - Shower and get ready for work
7:30am - Drop LO off at Moms and head to work
8:30am - Work
10:30am - pump
2:30pm - pump
5:30pm- pump
6:00pm- off work pick up LO
7:00pm start dinner; do dishes and bottles for next day; freeze excess milk
9:00pm- feed LO last bottle; give LO bath (every other night)
10:00pm - pump
10:30-11:30pm - LO goes down for the night and so do I!
