Day In The Life: With a Two Month Old

June 17, 2010 By: Jenna Category: Personal

Just what does a SAHM to a young baby DO all day? Lot’s of time spent watching trashy daytime TV? Not this SAHM. I thought I’d give you a little glance into my life and what I’m doing with my time. I’d say this day is pretty typical for a weekday with T1.

12:00 AM

Sleeping soundly.

1:43 AM

Change diaper. Screaming baby.

2:15 am

I spent some time trying to feed him sitting on the bed, but he was being fussy so I started using our favorite tool, the blanket, to help finish things off.

3:00 AM

Over an hour after he started eating he decided he was full.

5:15 AM

Eating again.

7:10 AM

Awake for the day.

7:50 AM

Hungry again.

8:00 AM

Morning stretch routine.

8:10 AM

I read my tweets while he wiggles.

8:15 AM

I treat the romper he slept in for formula stains. I’m crazy about trying to keep formula stains out of his clothes.

8:20 AM

Nakie time and diaper change.

8:35 AM

While he happily squirms on his changing table I rush around trying to get the diaper bag packed. TH eats breakfast in the background.

8:45 AM

Screaming baby demands to be dressed.

8:50 AM

Clothes don’t make him happy though.

8:55 AM

TH leaves for work.

9:00 AM

T1 eats again. I read while he slurps.

9:10 AM

Milk drunk.

9:15 AM

Time for me to get dressed in my workout gear.

9:20 AM

On our way out the door to walk with Y and L.

9:25 AM

He hates his car seat and screams pretty much the whole time when I drive somewhere.

9:40 AM

We arrive at Y’s house and he wants to eat again.

10:05 AM

Y and I walk MWF for 2.5 miles. Here is her sweet son L.

I carry T1 in the Bjorn our friends loaned us.

Y is the bees knees fo’ sheezy.

10:15 AM

We grunt and groan through a set lunges whenever we walk by this fence.

10:45 AM

I pull T1 off my body and I look like this.

10:55 AM

We drive to the grocery store and I feed T1 while sitting in the car reading my tweets.

11:05 AM

I only bought goat cheese on this trip, but I had to have it for my favorite spinach salad.

11:30 AM

When I got home I saw they hadn’t picked up the garbage yet, so I ran around the house collecting ours and threw it out with the rest.

11:35 AM

Another diaper change.

11:40 AM

Hungry again.

11:45 AM

Really just needed to be topped off and then promptly fell asleep.

While he slept I scurried around getting the house in order. I bagged the garbage bins.

Collected his cloth diapers.

Showered.

12:30PM

All too soon he was awake again.

12:35 PM

And hungry, of course.

12:45 PM

The reason he eats so often? I can only get him to eat an ounce or two at a time! He’s been doing better lately though.

12:50 PM

Another diaper change.

12:55 PM

I set him on the couch to squirm while I made myself lunch.

He fell asleep.

1:00 PM

I have a hard time eating until I get my chores done. Diapers needed to be dryed.

His clothes need to be washed.

The dishwasher needs to be unload and loaded again.

I threw together my favorite salad and ate it as fast as I could.

1:40 PM

I still couldn’t eat fast enough for him and he screamed at me while I finished.

1:45 PM

Another feeding. Blah blah blah. So boring. Good thing I like to read.

1:55 PM

Dirty diaper again.

2:00 PM

Some blogging time together.

2:30 PM

2:45 PM

Nap time once again. I blog and answer emails, etc.

3:25 PM

Nap time is over and we’re screaming again.

3:30 PM

Change the diaper.

3:35 PM

Diaper wasn’t the only problem, belly is empty.

3:40 PM

Tummy time.

4:00 PM

And hungry again.

4:25 PM

Hooray! Another nap.

4:30 PM

I move more laundry.

4:35 PM

And eat a burrito.

6:00 PM

TH comes home early and I get a break from being a mommy.

7:30 PM

He’s still awake and alert on my lap.

8:00 PM

A poopy diaper means it’s time for a bath.

TH and I randomly decide this is the night to buzz his hair, we’ve been talking about it for weeks now.

8:50 PM

Super shocking, but we’re glad we did it.

9:00 PM

Getting sleepy.

9:05 PM

Our little burrito in his miracle blanket.

He’s out and it’s time to clean up the hair.

12:00 AM

There you have it. 24 hours of my life.

      I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
