  • Never Ending Cycle

    I’ve been super busy with Evance out on business this week and it's my first week at work. My daily schedule this week has been:

    6AM: I get up to nurse Keira for a half hour. After I nurse and change her, I stick her in the carseat to pump out the rest.

    7AM: I’m usually done pumping around now so I open Kevan’s door to wake him while I go wash/sterilize the bottles and freeze the breastmilk.

    7:30AM: After I change and comb my hair, I start to pack. I have my pump bag with bottles for the day to bring to work. I have Keira’s bag of diapers, extra clothes, and milk for the day. I also have my laptop and work stuff. Finally, I get Kevan’s crackers and gummy vitamins. Then I load up the car.

    8AM: Drop off Kevan at his preschool which requires me signing him in and walking him to his classroom with Keira in my arms.

    8:20AM: Drop off Keira at her daycare which requires me to bring the carseat with her in it, sign her in, fill out a questionnaire about her sleep, poops, and eating patterns throughout the night, and putting away her bottles, clothes, and diapers.

    8:45AM: Get to work and just have time to put away my pump bag and bottles, grab a cup of decaf, and then start my back to back training meetings all day except for the 1 hour break for lunch. I have to leave meetings partially just to pump once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

    5PM: Pack up my stuff pump stuff and laptop stuff to pick up Keira.

    5:15PM: Pick up Keira and figure out how she did for the day, signing her out.

    5:45PM: Pick up Kevan with Keira in my arms getting him to wash his hands and signing out with his daily report.

    6:10PM: Get home, unload car and Kevan into his shower.

    6:30PM: Get him eating leftovers while nursing Keira

    7PM: I eat and clean up

    8PM: Start getting Kevan ready for bed

    9PM-10PM: Put Keira to bed after she’s done being changed and nursed again

    10:30PM-11PM: I go to bed after I check mail like now :)

    3AM: Wake up to nurse Keira

    Then the cycle starts all over again!  When is this going to end??

    You are so amazing and again, thank you so much for sharing. I always wondered how moms get through the day with pumping, more than one kids, and work!  You babies' daycares sound great though. I guess that mommy instinct just kicks in? You're really doing the work of 2-3 people!

    What can I say? Heehee enjoy them when they're little. I wish I appreciated Chloe more when she was a baby. The hard work won't last forever. Although I'm dreading it myself thats why I'm too scared to have another one!

    How long is Evance gone? Hopefully he's back soon to lend a hand. I remember being on a newborn cycle and wondering, crying, when it would end, as well. So stressed bc of sleep deprivation.

    Man....I couldn't do that....If you have the option of staying home until they hit preschool/kindergarten, man I'd do it then go back to work......that's too much, especially after having such a tough pregnancy.....
