<\/a><\/p>\nPrelude<\/span>: I\u2019m considering anything after midnight the start of the day, so around 3:30 I hear Kaitlyn fussing. David hands her to me for a quick feeding, then right back down. It takes me a little bit to fall back asleep, then I\u2019m up again around 6:15. Kaitlyn is up but isn\u2019t really hungry, so I let her wiggle beside me in the bed while I feed Koda and grab my computer. I make faces and tickle her until 7:15 when she dozes back off. This gives me 45 minutes to blog before it\u2019s game on.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s 8:00 and Hailey is waiting for me to come get her. I go give her a big hug, laugh at whatever funny thing she has to say and we\u2019re downstairs. The chaos begins around 8:15 when Kaitlyn wakes up and breakfast is in full swing.<\/p>\n Smoothies and waffles while Kaitlyn wiggles and Hailey circles the kitchen between bites. I eat, clean up, pack a cooler and get clothes out for all of us, knowing that we need to be ready to leave the house by 9:00 when Kaitlyn will be tired again.<\/p>\n Oops, I was running a bit behind. Still, we are all in the car and off by 9:05. We arrive at Fresh Market to grab a few things we need while Hailey is in a good mood and Kaitlyn is snoozing.<\/p>\n Success!<\/p>\n We are back in the car and arrive at play group on time at 10:00.<\/p>\n I get my need dose of mom chat as I nurse Kaitlyn. The kids run like crazy and we moms discuss potty training, tantrums and how easy babies are in comparison to lively toddlers!<\/p>\n We leave a little while later, Hailey in only her pull-up and me in just an undershirt after discovering I somehow have Kaitlyn\u2019s diaper contents on it. Why I ever even try to wear white is beyond me.<\/p>\n We are home by 12:00 and I put on a Dora the Explorer for Hailey while she eats lunch. Kaitlyn didn\u2019t follow the plan (what nerve!) and woke up, so I eat lunch while tickling baby feet.<\/p>\n Five minutes left in Dora, score! I throw on a load of laundry (soiled shirt included) and clean up from lunch.<\/p>\n After filling up Hailey\u2019s water cup (with ice, mom<\/em>!), we all head upstairs for books before nap.<\/p>\n I nurse Kaitlyn which makes for a calm pre-nap experience. Once Hailey is tucked in, I\u2019m back downstairs and attempting to get Kaitlyn to nap, too. No dice. Not on her own, anyway. Instead I tackle my inbox while trying to type over a snuggly baby.<\/p>\n Over the next two hours, Kaitlyn stirs, nurses and passes back out a couple of times. Finally it\u2019s 3:30 and Hailey is up and waiting for me again.<\/p>\n Hailey eats her snack while I fix a mocktail (and an unpictured bowl of soup) and turn on the World Cup. Bonus, David breaks from work to watch the game, too!<\/p>\n With the game in the background, I tackle the laundry and the broth I made overnight with my little helper.<\/p>\n Kaitlyn falls asleep around 5:15 and I go ahead and make Hailey\u2019s dinner, knowing it\u2019s my only chance.<\/p>\n I also peel shrimp for our dinner and then remember I need to be more consistent about giving Kaitlyn a bottle, so I pump while Hailey eats. At 6:00 Kaitlyn wakes up and WE give her a bottle. She downs 3.5 ounces like it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business.<\/p>\n Everyone plays while I continue dinner prep.<\/p>\n At 6:30 Kaitlyn is happily wiggling, so I go take a shower with Hailey. Baths are so 2013.<\/p>\n Since David is home, I hug and kiss Hailey before they head up to read. At 7:15 Kaitlyn decides she is hungry again so I\u2019m back to nursing. Dinner can wait.<\/p>\n Finally after nursing, swaddling and walking laps around the house, Kaitlyn is asleep at 8:00. I finish up dinner and snap a picture before devouring it. (This way I can link up with WIAW<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
