A day in the life, round 2

Inspired by Rachel's post! Here goes nothing. I'm 28 and currently on mat leave, Steve is 34 and has just started his new job, Ellie is 7 months and just being the cutest baby. This is Monday, April 18th. 
4:45: Steve's alarm goes off and I have to wake him up 5:00: I get up and grab my pump stuff while Steve gets up. Before I can start pumping my nose starts bleeding. Yes, It's going to be that kind of Monday. I hear Ellie stirring but she's just rolling around in her sleep. I throw a bottle in the warmer just to be safe.

5:10: my nose is finally done and I can pump. I play games on my phone and talk to Steve while he gets ready. 5:30: Steve leaves for work and I hope Ellie doesn't wake up before I finish pumping 5:45: Done pumping. I get everything cleaned up and put away. I debate waiting for Ellie to wake up but if I wait for her she will sleep til noon and I'll have wasted precious sleep opportunity. So I lay back down. 5:52: I hear something and check the monitor. Ellie's eyes are open. I get up, change her and feed her. 6:15: I lay Ellie awake in her crib and try to coax her back to sleep. She laughs at me for awhile. 6:20: she seems like she's drifting so I head back to my bed. Oh bed. 6:30: she's still fussing so I go get her. She falls asleep basically as soon as I pick her up. 7:22: I get slapped in the mouth by a pacifier repeatedly as awake Ellie is trying to put it in my mouth. I pretend to sleep for a few more minutes before grabbing her some toys so I can get dressed.

7:48: I actually get up to get dressed. Ellie's fine playing as long as she can see me. She loses her cool if I'm out of sight for more than a second. 8:00: heat a bottle for Ellie and take a banana out of the freezer for breakfast, change Ellie. I let her play naked on the change pad for a bit cos she likes it before I get her dressed for the day.

8:15: feed Ellie. I'm feeling hungry as well and remember how we didn't buy any groceries this weekend. Excellent. I have no idea what we (or just me) will have for lunch. I can see how tired she looks and I'm hoping that means good naps. I'm tired too, kiddo. 8:24: Ellie finishes her bottle and poops. Hooray! Time for another diaper change! I wonder if babies time this out. Like "I don't want to wear the orange diaper, mom! Take that!" 8:38: I throw Ellie in her high chair and start breakfast. She plays with some toys and we both munch on cantaloupe while I make banana pancakes. Total win! She loved them! And we have enough left for breakfast tomorrow!

9:03: I get Ellie cleaned up and in the living room to play and quickly make myself a coffee before going to sit with her. I remember Andrea mentioned coming by today so I text her to see if that's still on, it is! Maybe we can go out for lunch because there is no food here. 9:30: change Ellie and let her play diaper free for a bit

9:40: nap time. She's tired so she goes down pretty easily. I clean up breakfast, take out porkchops for dinner, finish my coffee and pump. 10:15: Ellie starts fussing but I'm hoping she stays calm long enough for me to finish pumping. No dice. I take off the pump and go grab her. I put Ellie done for some tummy time while I quickly put the the milk away and grab some water and go play with Ellie

10:40: I throw a bottle in and get Ellie changed. Andrea texts that she is on her way. It's supposed to be pretty warm out so I figure Ellie is okay in her t-shirt onesie but I trade her pants for ones that don't look so short (tall kid problems) so we can throw a hoodie on her when we go out for lunch. I fold wipes while Ellie tries to eat her feet. 11:00am Andrea arrives! I feed Ellie and we get ready to walk to Ricky's for lunch. Before we leave I throw the diapers in he wash. Ellie gets a free plate of steamed veggies and I have the beef dip. By the time we head home around 12:30 Ellie is falling asleep on my shoulder. It's feeling like a 4 short nap day.

12:45: we are back home and I put Ellie down for her nap. Andrea and I hang out and chat. 1:19: Ellie's up and ready for milk! I throw a bottle in and change her. We say goodbye to Andrea and I feed Ellie and start the second diaper wash. 1:40: Ellie's definitely tired but I decide to keep her up for a bit so we can hopefully get another decent nap. I'd like at least an hour.

2:00: we FaceTime with on of our friends from my due date group so Ellie and Brendan can make noises at each other. Ellie loves to see other babies on my phone and they babble and be cute while we chat

2:40: Ellie is looking tired but I'm not convinced we will get a decent nap if I put her down now so I popped her in the jumperoo to wear her out some more

3:00: nap time! I had plans to workout and pump while she napped but she wants to nurse and laying down is really our only successful position so we go lay in my bed and she nurses to sleep 3:10: I unlatch Ellie and give her her pacifier

3:50: Steve texts me from the apprenticeship office to say he got the forms he needs and is on his way home 4:12: Steve is home 4:16: Ellie wakes up, Steve takes her to get changed and heat up a bottle while I get ready to pump

5:00: I clean up my pump stuff and start dinner. Steve and Ellie play. 5:45: dinner! Porkchops, butternut squash and smiley fries

6:15: Steve and Ellie play while I clean up from dinner and get the diapers drying

6:45: Steve and I tag team getting Ellie ready for bed and getting her room ready 7:10:Steve puts Ellie to bed and I go to start my workout but the PS4 is acting up and the disc is jammed. Again. Unimpressed. I grab the sheets from our room to wash because Harley pooped on them again. She's really sick and I'm not sure what is going to happen but pooping on the bed is a side effect and I'm sorta unimpressed with it as well.

7:30: Steve comes out from putting Ellie to bed and fixes the PS4, he switches it out with the PS3 so I don't have the problem again. He washes and fills Ellie's bottles and makes the bed while I workout. 8:00: work out done! I survived and maxed out at: 9:19. Pike ups kill me. But I finished the workout. I go for a quick shower.

8:15: Steve and I sit down to hang out and play the new Ratchet and Clank and I knit.

9:45: I pump, I'm trying to move my night pump earlier so we can get more sleep. 10:15: I put the milk away, clean my pump parts and put everything away before getting ready for bed 10:30: bed 11:00: I can't sleep, my back is sore from laying with Ellie. I get up to take a tylenol and end up throwing up. I jump in the bath to see if it makes my back feel better. Spoiler alert, I don't fall asleep until 2.
