we need practice
This morning Ethan and I realize (well, maybe I'm the only one doing the realizing) that we need some practice and morning adjustments once I start work. As I mentioned yesterday, we have to be downtown by 10:30 for a meeting with my employer. Juggling breakfast (both of us), shower (me), dressing (both of us), makeup and hair (me), nursing (Ethan) and a couple of diaper changes (Ethan) before heading out the door within a 2 hour time frame isn't easy. I figure if I'll be dropping of E at daycare at 8:00 am-ish, I'll be getting out of bed at 6:00 or earlier each morning. I think my aim will be to be showered, prettied and dressed by the time he wakes up so that at 7:00 ish its only getting him ready for the day and some time together before we head out the door.
Its gonna suck.
Double the suckage when you think about the evening routine. Given that Ethan goes down between 7:30 and 8:00 pm, we'll be lucky if we get home by 6:00 pm with rush hour and picking him up from Daycare. So there will be a precious hour and a half to play, eat dinner, bath, story and nurse to sleep. I'm going to go through serious withdrawals. My biggest fear is that he will to. Its so not fair.
Anyway. Enough of my pity party.
So off to work we go for a meeting. I'll write all about it soon, if there's any news. To cheer myself up I'm using the opportunity to dress in real corporate wear because you know, as a new mum, I practically live in sweats, jeans and tees. I wanna wear sexy black pants and high heels. Ethan wont recognize me!

Morning scheduling and babies do not mix easily. The thing that gives is mum's time for herself! You've been practicing that already! Your upcoming wake-up at 6am each workday you also have already practiced, and also the no-afternoon-nap bit too. Don't forget 3 minutes to throw together a bag lunch, and one for E. too! Maybe 5:30 am will be alarm time! You will be hitting the sack at 8:30 just like all the other new mums. Good luck. Nan was so glad to stay home with her babies!
