Day In The Life: With a Two Month Old
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.
