Given that Eleanor is changing WAY too quickly, I wanted to document her "schedule" to look back on. I'm sure that by the time I'm finished typing this out, it will change again. But nevertheless, here we go.
3:00am- Ellie wakes up for a quick feeding
6:30am- Our sweet little girl gets a fresh diaper change by Daddy before he leaves for work. He brings her back to me, where I get to enjoy her precious little smiles and noises. After a little play time (and usually some spitting up), Ellie has her first meal of the day.
7:00-10:00am- Ellie and I go downstairs where she enjoys her first nap of the day in her swing. Thank goodness for that swing! While she is sleeping, I make the bed & clean up the kitchen. I usually start a load of laundry- how can such a tiny person create so much laundry?? If I can squeeze in a shower, then that's just a bonus.
10:00am- Ellie wakes up and has her second meal o' the day.
10:30am- After spitting up all over herself- and often all over me too- I change Ellie and get her dressed for the day.
10:30-12:30pm- We either run errands, meet someone for lunch, or have someone over. But sometimes we just spend alone time playing together! I also try to pump at some point to store up for when I go back to work.
1:00pm- Ellie eats again.
1:30-4:00pm- Ellie's second long nap of the day. If we weren't able to run errands that morning, I try to do those. And a trip through the Starbucks drive thru never hurt either.
4:00pm- Ellie eats again. Feeling a bit like a dairy cow these days...Daddy usually gets home around this time!
4:00-7:00pm- Ellie is usually awake between feedings. She spends time playing with Daddy, or "helping" me make dinner. She's often pretty fussy, which makes things difficult, especially for a tired Mama.
7:00pm- Ellie eats again.
7:00-9:00pm- Ellie takes her last nap before bed time, either in her swing or in someone's arms.
9:00pm- Bath time, infant massage time & sleep sack!
10:00pm- I nurse Ellie to sleep. And the day ends!
