I love reading these posts of other moms so I’m going to give it a try too. Plus Aaron mentioned that he was kind of curious about how we fill our days so here we go.

2:37 am
Baby wakes up and nurses in bed for about ten minutes. Aaron gets up, changes him, reswaddles him and puts him back to bed. We all go back to sleep.

5:11 am
Hear Sam stirring in the monitor again. I go and get him and he nurses in bed again. After about ten minutes i take him back into the nursery, change, swaddle and back to sleep for Sam. Aaron sleeps through this feeding.

I head downstairs, pump a bottle for Friday night while reading blogs on my phone. Pump about 4 ounces, eat some peanuts, drink some water then i head back up to bed and go back to sleep. It’s about 6am at this point.

6:40 am
Sam is up again. Booo i only slept for 40 minutes. Sam screams while i change him since i decided to change him before feeding him. Wakes Aaron up and Aaron walks into the nursery thinking I’m still downstairs. Sam nurses in bed, then i take him back to the nursery, swaddle and back to sleep for all of us.

8:20 am
Sam is up for good. I feed him in bed, then Aaron and i play with him for about 15 minutes in bed. He’s the most happy and animated at this time.

8:45 am
We all get up. Aaron gets ready for work. I put Sam in the pack n play by the window downstairs and turn on nature sounds. He looks around and plays while i make coffee and get breakfast for me together.

I throw some laundry in the washer, make the bed and put some other laundry away. Drink coffee for a bit then Sam starts to look tired.

9:30 am
Put him in the bouncer with music and vibrations on for a nap.

I put the pacifier in his mouth a few times until he falls asleep at about 9:45. He sleeps for about .. 15 minutes. We try to get him back to sleep until we give up at 9:55, Aaron leaves for work and i take Sam upstairs to change him.

9:57 am
I feed Sam in bed and he falls asleep next to me. I start writing this blog post on my phone while lying next to him.

10:30 am
I sneak out of bed, grab my bowl of oatmeal that’s been sitting downstairs and eat it in bed next to Sam.

10:58 am
Sam wakes up. I try to get him back to sleep with the pacifier but he’s not having it so i nurse him again hoping that will put him back to sleep. If he starts the day with good naps, he is much more pleasant the rest of the day.

11:57 am
Sam wakes up for good. Grumpy…

But then i change him and he’s happy and we have playtime!
