Dave and I are still trying to get used to a new schedule. We’re not entirely sure what type of schedule we want to be on. I think we would prefer that Lily Bean sleeps during the night, but considering how we’re both night owls, I’m not sure that’s conducive to our personal tastes. Right now, she is almost always wide awake between the times of 1am and 5am. Dave has been taking that shift, feeding her with bottled boobie milk that I make for him during the day time. I end up catching up on my sleep during that time, since every other time I have to be awake to feed her every two to three hours. It’s really quite weird. We’ll see what type of schedule we need to be on and can be on as the time goes. It seems like everyday is different, though that is to be expected with a newborn. I can’t imagine doing this for mothers who already have a toddler and have a newborn added to the family. My sister-in-law, Kami (I love her!), will be going through that, and I imagine it will be very hard. I think I will be offering help when the time comes for her. Having a 3y/o and a newborn at the same time while your husband works is not going to be easy. Oi.

And in the middle of all that, we have to keep up with our weekly chores. Laundry has more or less doubled in size — all her spit ups and accidents and stuff like that. Though with the size of most of her clothes, we can let it pile so that we only do her laundry once a week. Would be a waste of water otherwise… washing and drying itty bitty sized clothes so often. I’ve been trying to keep up with vacuuming and cleaning her room (not too difficult, since she’s not old enough to make a mess haha). The only thing that isn’t yet touched is her crib, since she’s been sleeping in the bassinet next to us every day and night. Her crib bedding doesn’t need to be changed at all. It’s spotless and like new.

Housework was always challenging. With an extra kid, it’s just extra fun. Sense the sarcasm there? Heh.
