Yesterday was Day 1 of officially being a stay-at-home-mom. I’m struggling with figuring out what my daily schedule is going to look like until baby gets here. I like to get up with Rocky and see him off in the mornings (which I did yesterday). But once he’s gone, my morning-person-ness is wanting to continue on with my day and start working on housework and projects, another part just wants to make a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunrise and birds outside. And yet another part of me knows I only got 6 hours of sleep the night before, so I want to just go back to bed for an hour or two until the sun comes up more – since my body is very affected by sunlight!… I just want to start off this staying-home-thing on the right foot, you know? Part of me wants routine, something I’ll plan to do every day, part of me wants to just go with the flow each day. And of course that flow will change soon enough when I’m working around another’s schedule…
I decided yesterday to see if I could get a little more sleep before attacking my day. I only got another hour, but felt so refreshed afterward! I was able to accomplish a handful of things around the house plus put my feet up and rest a few times... I'm hoping I'll have the desire and energy to keep up with the housework in the coming days, so that when baby comes I can let things slide for a bit...
It could be any day now. It could still be 2 weeks away. We'll see what happens...
Carrie - it sounds like whatever routine or non-routine you decide it will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping it will only be two weeks - - - first babies.....
