Day in the Life

Now that my Christmas cards are done (well 50 of them... I ended up ordering 25 more) I wanted to do a little day-in-the-life post. I like having these to remember different stages of our life! Dare I say that our life right now is easy? I am in love with my babies and really wish I could be home with them during the mornings  when they are happiest! Hopefully I'll be able to stay at home within the next few years :)

Workday Schedule

5:45- I wake up and begin the super long morning pump

6:15- Jay wakes up, puts diapers in dryer, showers, and takes dogs out. I finish pumping and start getting ready/dressed for the day

6:35- Jay (and me if I'm ready) wake up babies. They get fresh diapers and then get loaded in their carseats in their pj's with a blanket on top. We then pack up bottles and diapers and carry everything to the car.

6:50- I take the babies to Gigi's house. Jay feeds dogs and heads to work.

7:00- Set babies up in seats at Gigi's and feed 5oz bottles.

7:10- I leave for work.

7:30-8:30- Babies have playtime

8:30-10:00- Nap time (well its supposed to be.... its rare that both actually nap the entire time)

9:40- I do a quick pump between classes (9:40-9:55) aiming for 8-9oz

10:30- Babies get 5oz bottles

11:35- I pump for 15 minutes during my lunch break and aim for 6-8oz

12:00- 1:30 Babies go down for afternoon nap

2:00- Babies eat 5oz bottle. I pump during planning period and get 6oz.

3:45- Babies go down for a nap and I head to practice

5:00- Jay meets my mom at home to feed the kids a 5oz bottle. I try to be home at this time but cheerleading has been crazy lately. I pump and usually get 4-6oz.

5:00- 7:30- We play with the kids, sing songs, work on tummy time, etc. During this time we also eat while the babies are playing. I try to cook the night before or do crock pot.

7:30- 8:00- Jay baths the crankiest baby first, then I nurse while the second baby gets bathed. Jay brings me second baby and puts first baby to bed, I nurse second baby and then put him/her to bed.

8:15- We clean bottles, pour the next day's bottles, freeze extra milk, clean up from supper, start a load of laundry, wash diapers, pick up the house, and prep the following night's meal.

9:00- Time to hang out in front of the TV!

10:00- In bed and last pump of the evening (usually 5oz)
