Thursday, I decided to track what I did ALL day. I had to know...and I thought it would be a fun blog post. Without further ado, here's what I do, ALL DAY!

7:20 a.m. - Pump
8:00 a.m. - Load and start dishwasher, put in a load of laundry
8:05 a.m. - Addie's awake! (this is the BEST part of my day!) Get her out of her crib and feed her.

9:15 a.m. - Play with Addie while calling/talking to my Grandma and folding laundry, then put on make up while talking to Addie in the mirror, brush my hair (Addie loves watching me brush my hair - we have to run the brush through her hair a couple times too), blow dry my hair (this was a GOOD day!)

12:20 p.m. - Pump, play keep away with Addie and my pumping stuff (she likes to pull on the pump while it's attached!), sing songs, make funny noises to keep Addie from crying, listen to Addie cry while I finish pumping because I won't let her play with the pump while it's attached (I'm SO mean!)

Before you have one, you think, taking care of a baby can't be THAT time consuming, but it is! Especially when it takes forever to nurse/pump several times a day!
Just wait till you have another one. My husband was and sometimes still is ignorant of what I do, not a bad idea to write it all down. he he
