my new life

is much different that my life before bambino. i love every minute of being a mommy and getting to stay home with my lil man, thats a dream come true. but some days are reduntant and hard to find time for myself inbetween.

a day in my life....

730 daddy leaves for work, babys ready for breakfast
8 we play and i pump and we watch some tv
830-845 babys ready for nap #1. we finish the bottle, which has been 8-10oz lately, and i put him down in his crib
930-10 (sometimes 1030) baby wakes up and we eat some oatmeal, then we jump while mama cleans the kitchen: bottles, last nights dinner dishes, and gets things ready for tonights dinner.
11-12 baby eats bottle #2, usually 4-6oz and we snuggle or play depending on babys mood
12 daddy comes home for lunch. sometimes babys down, sometimes hes awake. he surprises me some days with his flexibility
1230 baby is down for nap #2 and i pump, watch tv, or facebook, or sketch or something. i try to make pumping time 'me time'
1-130 baby is up and ready for lunch. now we eat fruits: apples, 'nanas or pears sometimes mixed with oatmeal depending on the fruits consistency
130-2 is about the time we run errands, or i take a shower, or bake goodies or we play some more before baby wants bottle #3
230-3 bottle #3 and nap #3
4-430 babys up, playing with daddy who just got home and mommy is usually pumping and researching baby items
5-630 we all have dinner. i try to make it so we all eat together, but  lately baby has been eating first and then wants bottle #4 while we try to eat our dinner
630-7 is a good time to get out, baby doesnt nap between his last bottles normally, but sometimes. papa takes him out often and i get some down time (pump pump pump)
730-830 baby eats his last bottle in increments, a totally of 8-13 oz depending. lately he fights his bedtime sleep, but its nothing a little snuggle in our bed cant fix.
830 baby is down for the night. about 3-4 times we alternate getting up to give him his binky, cover him with a blankie, or roll him back on his side (he tries to sleep crawl! even tho he cant crawl)

i always feel relieved and sad when he goes down for the night. lately ive been sewing tuxedo onesies in hopes i can sell them and make some money and not have to go back to work. but thats the dream, isnt it?
