I always use to wonder what stay at home mothers did all day? I knew children where work but I still wondered what do they do all day long? Well now I know what stay at home moms do all day. So In case you have been wondering the same thing I thought that I would share with you what I do all day! Now I only have one little munchkin so I am not as busy as those with more than one. Annaka and I have pretty much the same routine everyday and here it is:
We are currently on a 3 hour schedule hoping to change to a 3 and a half hour schedule!!
8am Wake, nurse, diaper change, feed the pets breakfast
8:15-9:30 *Play Time ending in a diaper change
9:30-11am Nap for Annaka and Mommy if we had a bad night. If not time to shower and eat breakfast!
11am Wake, nurse, diaper change
11:15-12pm *Play Time ending in a diaper change
12-2 Laundry (Yes this is a daily task since I use cloth diapers.) Lunch, clean living space, put away laundry, give cat and dog attention
2pm Wake, nurse, diaper change
2-4pm *More play time or errands or we visit some friends and of course a diaper change
4-5pm Nap Again
5pm Wake, nurse, diaper change
5:30-6pm If it is nice out we take Gus for a walk, we wait till 5 so my little lady doesn't get sunburned.
6:00-7:00pm Quiet time, reading books, singing songs
7-8pm Night Time Routine which consist of a baby massage, bath time, another feeding and bed time stories and prayers.
8-9pm Dinner for mom, feed the pets, any last minute laundry, and praying that Annaka will fall asleep. :)
Annaka goes down for naps like a champ now something that less than a month ago I was struggling with. Now it's bed time that we must conquer. It takes me a while to get her down on a good night it takes an hour. :( Going to bed earlier hasn't helped I feel like I have tried everything!!! We will get there.
*Play for Annaka right now is reading books, puppets, licking things, rattles, singing, making faces at her tummy time and rolling over
Busy, happy Mommy and Baby! Schedules are the way to go with babies!
