My new Normal

Well We have officially survived our first week of daycare! Unfortunately I think that he has already caught a case of the crud that is going around, poor guy :(. Just congested right now, but still in good spirits, he has actually smiled when he gets his nose sucked out!

Getting ready for a day is A LOT of work and starts the night before, washing bottles, packing both of us up, making coffee, making bottles, and taking a shower. Then I wake up around 5:15 get ready, pack up the rest of the things and load the car. Then I turn on Carson's light to help him wake up while I get my coffee and breakfast. Then at about 5:50 or so I wake him up and get him dressed. Then he eats and we play until about 6:45, we load up and drive the few blocks to his school. After I sign him in I rock him and put him down for his am nap (most days he sleeps, though he has stayed awake on a few occasions). Then I head to my car where the fun begins, I get myself ready to pump and drive to school at the same time, I look hot driving to school let me tell you ;). I pump again during lunch and I was pumping on the way home too, however he has gone a few days now where he only eats twice at daycare and then two more times when we get home which is wonderful, because it is such a special time. So we eat and play when we get home, then he usually lays down for 45min-1hr which is when I am cleaning bottles, eating dinner and preparing for the next day. He wakes up eats gets a bath and then reads a story with daddy. I can not tell you how much it makes me smile to hear him read to Carson, it is the sweetest thing. Then we put him in his Woombie and I rock him to sleep around 7:30. It makes for a very busy day but every time I look at his sweet face and think of our family I know it is all worth it!
