For starters she is awake during the day A LOT. I thought that maybe she would be a night owl because that is all you hear whenever you are pregnant -- "oh, enjoy your sleep while you have it!" Yes, she wakes up every two hours to feed of course but she goes back to sleep so soundly it is unreal. I guess that is where bed sharing has its perks though. But also has its downfalls because now she can not go to sleep without being in my arms. Which I do not mind because I love it and according to my husband she "will be my last one" (doubt it.) I plan to once she is about 6 weeks to break her from bed sharing and put her in her own crib. Should be an easy transition, right? Knock on wood "knock...knock." It is just almost impossible if you are breastfeeding to not bed share unless you want NO sleep what so ever. Which face it.. I have a two year old, I need my fuel for the day to cope with it all.
She is a happy baby -- hardly EVER cries. Which is another thing I just was not expecting. I was ready to bust out the ear plugs on her arrival but I haven't needed them. I am just so happy with how this is going so far. Although Dorrian has been acting out a little bit -- but it is kind of cute, kind of.
My routine starts with getting up whenever my son comes in my room to wake me up, between 7-8 am. Changing Zooey and Dorrian (because he still has yet to get potty training down) and getting Zooey fed. After that preparing Dorrians breakfast and milk. Usually after this I take a little "wake up break" meaning I wake my brain up a little bit by watching Grey's Anatomy while Zooey sits in her swing because this is when she is wide awake. Which stays this way until afternoon time. I will do some house cleaning between 10-12, while she is content. I feed her until she goes to sleep once I am done and make Dorrian his lunch. I will eat because usually around this time I realize I haven't ate all day, which you would think the low blood sugar and shaking would alert me but it does not. After he eats, I use this time to have "mom time." Usually I either blog, web browse, facebook and/or listen to music. Around 4-5 is when the husband gets home and I spend the evening preparing dinner for us all, cleaning it all up afterwards, bathe time for Dorrian and he goes to bed at 8:30 pm. This is when we all go down. Netflix and cuddles until we all fall asleep. Every day is basically the same. Same shit different toilet. (insert sarcastic thumbs up emoji)
