Believe it or not I often have people ask me what I do all day. (Um, take care of a baby?!) While I find this mildly
annoying humorous I decided to document the happenings of my daily life. I could have just written 6:30 am to 6:30 pm : Raise a Child. But I thought it would be a bit more interesting if I added a few more details...
 |
| 6:30 am wake up, 7 am go for a jog and this happens... |
 |
| 8 am eat breakfast |
 |
| greek yogurt, whole milk and fruit for B |
 |
| oatmeal with brown sugar for me every day |
 |
| 8:30 am B plays |
 |
| while I clean up and do dishes/laundry/feed dog etc. |
 |
| 9 am i read a few books to B then she gets cranky |
 |
| so i change her diaper and put her down for a nap (clearly she LOVES this!) |
 |
| we snuggle before nap time ( i LOVE this) |
 |
| while she naps i enjoy coffee and quiet time |
 |
| then i quickly get ready for the day |
 |
| 10 am she's up! |
 |
| 10 am i pick out her outfit |
 |
| 11 am we meet friends at the park and run errands. at 12 we eat lunch. |
|
|
 |
| at 1 we have more snuggles before nap time |
 |
| naptime allows me to continue preparing items for the baby consignment sale at church |
 |
| naptime also allows me to write thank you's to some friends |
 |
| 4pm she's up and i drop her off at Lala's so I can drop off CAbi clothes |
 |
| 6pm babysitter comes over and we go to sushi for an early bday dinner |
Whew! I'm tired just re-reading it all! Her afternoon nap is truly a blessing from God. Lately it's been 3 hours long...hallelujah! Clearly not every day is like this but it's pretty close to it! Nap time is sometimes used to do laundry, pay bills, clean up etc. On a rare occasion I'll use it to do something fun like scrap book, read, or take a nap. Typically I don't blog until she is in bed at 7. Then I shower and it's off to bed I go! I wouldn't trade any part of it for the world (ok, maybe those poopy diapers...).

I also get that question, "but what do you do all day?". I too find it a little annoying. The days go by quickly and with playing, eating, naps, and never knowing how quickly their moods will change every day is filled. I guess some people might find staying home boring, but I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWhen did she start taking 3 hour naps? I would LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteStaying home with baby is a full time job!! My hat is off to you my friend!! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to say that i watched soap operas and ate Bon Bons. So rude! I don't even know what a Bon Bon is.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, I get this all the time. I always just say 'why don't you try for a day and let me know?' funny how nobody takes me up on it!
