First, I wake up at 5.45 and go pumping, which takes me about 40 minutes. When I pump, I read Book of Mormon or Teachings of Presidents of the Church - Spencer W. Kimball and as soon as I'm done, I get ready for gym - super fast, because i don't have that much time, since I'm leaving at 6.45...
I come home around 9am and it's already time to pump and to play with Olivier - by then he's wide awake and happy and soooo much fun, but when we're done reading books or singing, he eats and takes his nap...
That's the time for me to get ready - take a shower, eat breakfast and basically when I'm done, he's ready to play, so I have to play with him and clean a little bit, after the night... :)
Then there's another nap, but I'm running late with my pumping, so I do it and squeeze in some TV... Or when I'm lucky, some internet - playing online games with my mom or other people. Sometimes I get to talk to my sister, which is nice...
Bry comes home from his classes and we talk but the boy gets more and more needy and tired and not happy, so he needs a lot more attention, which is hard...
I get some time off, so I'm trying to post something on my blog and read other people blogs or myfamily web site and do nails or other things that I couldn't do before...
Or we go grocery shopping, or doing laundry or tons of other stuff that needs to be done! :)
Around 7pm, I'm almost dead but I know that Ollie's bath time is close and after that it's only food, diaper and good night little one...
It works as long as there are no complications like gas problems... :)
Then Bry and I read Scriptures and watch some TV, or just play chess...
And I pump again... :)
I'm in bed around 11pm...
And Bry wakes up at night, which is sooo sweet! So I can sleep!
And the next day it's the same story...
But believe it or not, I LOVE busy days like that! They don't feel wasted or gone and there's always something to look forward to! And that's the beauty of it! :)
Each day is different and I'm so happy at where I'm at with my life! :)
I would never switch with anyone! :)
And that's my little boy after the bath, in little shorts and hoodie. He looks like he's in the spa salon... :)
He's so sweet! I remember pumping so much when Bridget was born - I did it almost exclusively for a LONG time. It is not easy! And you have to wash the whole thing after each time. Ugh. Anyway, isn't it fun being a mom? I almost hate to put my girls to bed at night because I worry that I didn't play, snuggle, hug and kiss them or say "I love you" enough. So I try to squeeze in a few more as I'm putting them to sleep. You're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy day - but I'm glad things are going well. It's always been hard going through the adjustment with DJ after a new baby - be patient with each other - it will get better! Love you so!
ReplyDeleteYou are sooooooooo very busy,doing everything that you do... It makes your Grandma very tired. BUT I do remember the time that I was able to do those things. The Lord knows just when we are able to accomplish those things. Love you all and KISS Ollie for us.
