Day In the Life of a stay at home Mom

9:00 am  That's when my day starts, because Eddie has to get up for work at that time. Jax has his morning bottle at that time. Then he normally gets changed and most of the times he will lay down for his first nap of the day, after hes played with his mom and dad. He's been smiling so much lately and it will just melt your heart <3 

10:00 am-12:00 pm If he's taking a nap I try and get as much as work done as I can, we do have two cats so that generally means cleaning out their litter pan and feeding them their morning wet food. As well as doing the laundry and general clean up from the night before, its crazy how messy your house can get just trying to get a baby ready for bed! 

  

 

12:00 pm Its time for Jax to eat again, at nights he's been going up to five to six hours between feedings, but during the day he can barely make it to four hours. Haha  

12:00 pm-1:00 pm I change Jax and then we hang out and play, read, or listen to music. He loves to listen to music, we will sometimes watch Mickey Mouse. But we've been trying to to limit his TV time, because I've noticed he can get very overwhelmed with too much TV. 

2:00 pm This is when he tries to take another nap, tries being the key word. He fights so hard with his sleep, this nap he more often than not will take this nap on me (yes i'm teaching a bad habit) but I usually will  catch up on emails on my phone at this point and check Instagram and work in my planner. 

 3:00pm Is his next bottle, and Eddie is most often home for lunch at this time, so he will play and sometimes feed him for me so I can eat lunch. Then we hang out with Eddie till he has to go back to work. 

4:30 pm Jax will try and take another nap, lately hes been stay up longer each day. And yes this nap is also on me too. I like to catch up on Youtube at this time, and cuddle my baby <3 And depending on the day I'll sometimes take a nap with him. 

6:00 pm Its another bottle time, and a change and play time. He will watch me while I clean the dishes and his bottles. We will hang out till daddy gets home.

7:00 pm-8:30 pm  Eddie gets off at 7:00 so he'll come home and we'll talk about our day and play with Jax for a bit. Eddie is a wonderful cook so he's always in charge of dinner. Then we will watch some T.V and eat dinner together. 

8:30 pm-9:00 pm Depending on how hungry Jax is when we will feed him his night time bottle which normally will have a scoop of oatmeal in it, (it as a rule keeps him fuller and happier HaHa) 

9:30 pm-9:45 pm We will get Jax ready for bed, change him for the night lotion him up with his lavender lotion, which he more often than not will fight me for it. HaHa depending on his mood he will either like me or Eddie to lay him down. We both have our own way of putting him to sleep, lately hes been fighting sleep which I have a question for all mothers out there is this just a normal thing? 

9:45 pm Depending on how quickly we can get him to sleep I'll try and sneak in a bath or shower for the night, Eddie will go and do his own thing and i'll generally try and get stuff done in bed before I go to sleep. 

10:30 pm I'm in bed going to sleep at this time, Eddie now and again will stay up a bit later than me before he comes to bed. 

12:00 am-?? It different each night as to when he gets up for his night time bottle. 

So that's a typical day in my life, it does change if Eddie is off for the day or we have something to do for that day. I'd love to hear if we share the same type of day or is it way different than mine. Leave a comment down below and we can talk about it:) thank you so much for reading, I'll catch you next week!
