So I just have to start by saying this mommy of 2 things is ALOT of work!! now with that being said, I can also say that I wouldn't trade either of my precious babies. I have learned this time around that I guess mommy needs a break too. It has been 7 days now with Addison home, and I think I have had a total of 12-13 hours sleep :) I know I know this looks so appealing to want another baby for all of you out there with just the one. The truth is though that it really is awesome.Although I had a meltdown last night while chris's family was over for dinner. His cute mom started telling me I need to get out more, and have cari time. She was being so nice to me, so nice that I started to cry, how embarassing right?! I guess no sleep and being trapped to my house must have got to me! To give you an idea of my new mommy schedule, I have written it below......... This is my typical day during the week, it's a rough idea anyways!
8:00am- Dev wakes up needs to eat....
8:30am- Addison is awake and ready to eat, still not done feeding devin....
9:00am- Devin has his milk in bed with mommy while Addison gets fed...
9:30am- Lay Addison back down for a couple hours, feed devin the rest of breakfast downstairs..
10:00am- Clean up house while Devin plays with toys in family room...
11:00am- Devin goes down for a nap, but not without a crying fight...
11:30am- Addison wakes up for a bum change and feed....
12:30pm- Love cuddle and stare at little Addi before laying her down AGAIN!!
12:45pm- Like clock work Devin is up from his nap...
1:30pm- Get Devin's lunch ready for him
2-3:30pm- Devin has playtime, with a few tantrums in between :)
3:30pm- Devin goes down for another short nap, finally I think to myself a little quiet with both babies asleep..... Guess again
3:45pm- Addison like clock work is up for another bum change, feed, and cuddle....
4:30pm- lay Addi back down until next time..... Again maybe a breather for a minute with both babies down....
4:45pm- So much for quiet time, Dev is awake from his nap....
5:00pm- Daddy is almost home.....
So there you have it that is my day!! I left out some blowouts, and bad tantrums, or maybe some crying for no reason. It didn't want to scare everyone from having a 2nd baby :) Truth is that I think all I have learned is that I need some me time. As hard as that is for me, it is something that I need to do so I can stay sane while keeping this schedule :) I would really enjoy any stories from my mommy friends on their schedules or mommy melt downs, and I know you have had them............ I appreciate you all letting me vent, can't wait to hear some of your melt down moments.
