Here is how my days go. To keep track of the days, I start at midnight. You will see why this works well.
12:00am - Put Jacy in bed. This is about the time she goes down.
2:00am - Diaper change and nurse in the dark while I am half a sleep.
6:00am- Wake up to my alarm in a panic because Jacy slept for 4 hours. Diaper change and nurse Jacy while I watch the news then go back to bed.
9:00am - Diaper change and nurse Jacy then go back to bed again.
10:30am - Diaper change and nurse Jacy then do a load of diapers and other random housework while Jacy is in her bassinet, swing, or bouncer seat. She chills and sleeps during this time. I also get in a shower during this time.
12:00pm- Diaper chance and nurse Jacy and have lunch with Josh. He holds her a lot then I hold her. This is our prime sleepy baby snuggle time.
2:30pm - Diaper change and nurse Jacy. She ussually stays awake for a little while we do some tummy time read books or she might spend time in the Moby Wrap while we do housework together. She may also get a bath or go for a walk.
4:00pm - Diaper change and nurse Jacy and take a nap if I can.
5:00pm - Josh comes home and we talk about his day.
7:00pm - Diaper change and nurse Jacy and eat dinner. Jacy is also usually awake for a few minutes during this time and Josh plays with Jacy until she is hungry or sleepy again. I try to do some housework or I take a nap.
9:30pm - Diaper change and nurse Jacy. She is also awake for while again. We talk, tummy time, or play with dad. For some reason Jacy thinks from around 7-10 is the best time to be awake. I think this is because she is her father's daughter.
10:30pm till 12:00 - I start trying to get Jacy to go to bed without success. I nurse her for 10 minutes till she falls asleep and then I put her in her crib and she wakes up in 20 minutes. This continues till around midnight. Josh sometimes gets her to go to bed by rocking her. During this time Josh and I watch TV while I do the nurse, put to bed, get back up cycle. A few times Jacy has gone to bed around 11:00. It was awesome.
Tonight, Jacy is in bed at 9:00pm!!! That is how I got to write this blog post. I really want to remember how crazy this time is so when her schedule is a little less demanding I can be thankful. Now I better go to bed before this kid gets hungry again...
too late.
