My typical day starts at about 7 am. My husband takes the early shift with Baby A since I take the late shift and most overnight feedings (not to mention, he’s much more of a morning person than I am). At 7, before I get out of bed, I check emails and text messages in five different email accounts, answer those most urgent, then get out of bed to take over morning feeding and playtime so that my husband can hop in the shower and head off to work.
After he leaves, I play with my son for about an hour before he’s ready for his first nap (when, that is, he’s willing to take a nap). During that 30 – 45 minute period, I run around and try to get the house straightened out, answer the emails, texts, Tweets and posts that have come through in the morning, and hopefully drink a cup of coffee before my son wakes up. If I’m lucky, I get to hop in the shower.
