On top of my old morning routine, I now have to: feed the baby, exercise, get the baby ready, get the baby's stuff ready, make my lunch (that didn't always happen in the past) and get out the door 15 minutes earlier than I used to. Keep in mind here...I am NOT a morning person. At best I am a mid-evening person (or sometimes a 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm person) but never, ever a morning person!
Monday - was woken up at 4:00
This was WAY too early. Did everything I needed to and then some, still had time to go back to sleep.
Tuesday - was woken up at 6:30
Got a little extra sleep here, but had to sacrifice exercise. For someone who is trying to capitalize on the extra calories burned from breatfeeding, this was not ideal.
Wednesday - was woken up at 6:00
This was perfect, the morning went off like clockwork - I even left 5 minutes early so I could play with her at daycare for a while.
Thursday - woke up at 7:15
Horrible, horrible! I think subconsciously I knew Hailey would be staying with her daddy today, so I didn't rush. I woke up when I would normally be taking her to daycare.
Friday - woke up at 6:00
Another stellar, beautiful morning!! If all mornings went like this, who knows...I may someday become that which I despise...a morning person!
Something about the above descriptions my have slipped by your notice, so allow me to highlight it....
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - 'WAS woken up'
Thursday, Friday - 'WOKE up'
She had two nights - in a row - of sleeping through the night! Of all the childhood milestones - this has got to be the sweetest chip in the cookie!
I found this Baby Blues comic that says it all......
