A Day in the Life

As I've thought about what to write today, I'm struck by what a whirlwind today was. Yet much of it was just run-of-the-mill, what-happens-when-you're-a-mom stuff. Here's how it went:

2:30 a.m.: Bub wakes up. Up until 3:30 a.m.

4 a.m.: Bub wakes up again. Up until 4:45 a.m.

5 a.m.: I get up to shower.
Bub wakes up.
Hubby takes him to bed with him, but Bub is wide awake.

5:15 a.m.: Get Bub from hubby.

5:30 a.m.: Feed Bub.

6:30 a.m.: Pick up Bub from floor and realize he's had a blowout.
Take off Bub's clothes.
Manage to get poop on Bub's calf, shoulder and head. Yes, head.

6:40 a.m.: Give Bub a bath.

6:50 a.m.: Rock Bub to sleep (Bub is tired from waking up so early).

7:30 a.m.: Drop Bub off at daycare.

8:00 a.m.: Work. Work, work, work.

4 p.m.: Get report from hubby that Bub, who has bronchitis, has now started wheezing.

4:45 p.m.: Arrive home.

5:30 p.m.: Feed Bub.
Realize that, yes, he does have a nice wheeze.

6:15 p.m.: Take Bub in to Urgent Care.
Hold nebulizer for Bub.
Hold Bub's arms while his chest is being x-rayed.

7:40 p.m.: Wait at pharmacy for Bub's antibiotic.

8 p.m.: Arrive home.
Get Bub ready for bed.
Feed Bub.

8:30 p.m.: Hand Bub over to hubby.
Scrounge together a dinner of yogurt, cereal bar, and pudding cup.

9 p.m.: Brown hamburger and fry bacon in preparation for tomorrow's farewell potluck for 2 former coworkers.

9:50 p.m.: Bub wakes up.
Comfort him back to sleep.

10 p.m.: Blog.

10:15 p.m.: Fall into bed exhausted. Good night!

I'm not sure where to put this comment, but I showed the kids your blog last night for the first time in ages. They laughed and laughed at the poop on the head story, Bub falling over sideways while sitting, his highchair dance... they really enjoyed the pictures and video and funny comments, even though they didn't read everything,. They think he's so sweet.
