8:40pm Bradley is asleep, I lay him in bed, Bryan turns on the fan and we sneak out
8:45pm we drink celebratory drinks and play a board game/watch tv/turn on music and chat
11:00pm we go to bed
12:40am Bradley starts fussing and sucking his fingers. I wake and pick him up. He nurses in his sleep, and when he stops, I unswaddle him, change his diaper, burp him and nurse him back to sleep.
1:15am I crawl back in bed and, hungry, I run to the kitchen for a cookie. Brushing off the crumb evidence, I crawl back into bed.
4:20am Bradley screams-I must have missed his initial fussing. I rescue him, and I nurse him while he's wide awake. I change his diaper and as soon as its off, he releases the crap-en. Nasty. Once we are all clean, I re-swaddle and nurse again. He's asleep and after staring at his cute face, I force myself to lay him down.
4:50am I'm tempted to shower, but I choose sleep instead.
7am Bryan's alarm goes off. He pushes snooze and cuddles.
7:20am Bradley wakes for the day. I feed him, change his diaper and put in his day outfit. As soon as I pick him up, he spits up all over me and his new outfit. I nurse him again, and even though he's awake, I lay him in his crib.
7:40am I start pumping and Bryan rescues the bebe and cuddles before work.
8am Bryan leaves for work. I put the parts in the sink, remove my spit up shirt and as I'm searching for a new one, Bradley screams. He's got a pouty face, so I just grab him and hang out in my bra.
8:30am Bradley falls asleep on me, I make a bowl of cereal and a glass if water one handed. I hold my adorable sleeping baby while I check email and watch last nights tv. He loves his morning nap on me.
9:30am Bebe wakes, and I nurse him. I realize he's still in his spit up outfit. O change his diaper and his outfit. He's awake, so I tell him juicy gossip and sing made up songs and walk him around the house showing him pictures and walls and shoes and dishes needing to be washed.
11:45am Bradley nurses again and falls asleep. I realize I have only had one glass of water and pour another while chastising myself for not hydrating.
12:15pm Bradley wakes (because his farts are loud enough to wake anybody) and I change his diaper. He wants to nurse again, and I let him but this is when I think I should put on a shirt. Probably should.
12:30pm Bryan comes home for lunch. He brings home subway or we go out for lunch (if it's Tuesday) or we make something simple at home. Bradley takes a 45-60 minute nap.
1:30pm Bradley wakes, Bryan changes his diaper and plays with Bradley while I shower. Finally. I put on a shirt. Finally.
2:00pm Bryan goes back to the office. I take the opportunity to run an errand or hang out at home.
2:30pm Bradley nurses and falls asleep for his afternoon nap.this nap happens on me, in his bouncer, in the moby, in the carseat. He naps forever! It's wonderful!
5:00pm Bryan comes home (or we pick him up). We decide about dinner. We start prepping veggies.
5:35pm Bradley wakes up, and Bryan changes him. Of course, he pees everywhere (90% chance) and I continue cooking. Bryan brings him back in a new outfit.
5:45pm I nurse Bradley while Bryan finishes dinner. Bradley goes in the bouncer while we eat (if it's a good day). He screams after 15 minutes, so whoever is closest to being done picks him up. The other finishes. Switch.
We hang out/Skype grandparents/do a bath/watch cartoons.
6:35pm Bradley nurses.
7:15pm nurse again. Change his diaper. Swaddle and cuddle.
8:00pm nurse again. Bryan reads stories until Bradley falls asleep. We lay him down. High fives.
