#themomlife

I realized I only had about 5 hours of sleep on Tuesday night, because after I nursed (and by nursed, I didn’t mean she only nurses once a night, she’s still going strong waking me up 4 or 5 times a night), I decided to get up and take a shower. My hubby had an early morning meeting, so he’d be getting up soon to shower, so my only chance of having an uninterrupted shower would be to take it by 5 am.

I’m not one of those moms that takes a shower every day, more power to you if you do get that luxury, but if I get more than 3 showers in a week, then that’s pretty incredible. I do get to work from home, so it’s not like I’m out in public every day. And since my signature hair style is a #mombun anyway, it looks pretty much the same on a shower day or a non – shower day. I do still brush my teeth and put on deodorant every morning, I can always find time to sneak those in between going potty and taking my Plexus.

Haven’t heard of Plexus? Now that is something that I don’t go a day without! These health and wellness products have been life changing for me. I was so exhausted as a mom of two and have more energy, better sleep, more patience, better health, and less weight as a mom of three.

So I got 7 hours of sleep last night. My average is between 6 and 7 hours a night. And when I wake up now I just climb out of bed ready to start my day. No more yawning or pressing snooze to get that extra 10 minutes of sleep. Plus…. The alarm usually wakes up the kids anyway, so if I can be up and going before it goes off, the kids might sleep in a bit longer.

Today, Alexandria (our 10 month old) was ready to roll, literally, as I tried my best ninja roll out of bed skills. So, we were both up at 6, she played with a breastfeeding flange while I did my business in the bathroom and she was happily nursing in the den 5 minutes later after we changed her pee pee diaper and sat on the couch to catch up on Grey’s Anatomy. I won’t watch that when my older kids are up, so I only get to watch about 15 minutes at a time on Hulu when I get up before everyone and don’t immediately go into my office and start working. We watched a little Grey’s then she wanted to play, so I got her a breakfast bar and I could hear her grinding her teeth! She only has 3 teeth now and barely got her one top tooth this week, so this is new for her. She’s been testing out her chomping skills while nursing… Not so fun for me.

Then I smelled poop. So I had to do diaper change #2. We came back out to the den and used the hand held vac to clean up her baby bar crumbs, and as I went to hang it can up I was caught off guard by my stealth 2.5 year old wearing his football footie pajamas. He was holding the crotch part away from his crotch area. So… He had another diaper leak. I got him his vitamin, probiotic, and greens and went to get him a clean diaper and outfit for the day. Alexandria lost her mind having my leave the room for a minute. She’s a major mommies girl and does not like to be away from me.

So… We got 3 diaper changes, 15 minutes of Grey’s, one kid his vitamins, one kid her breast milk and baby bar, and mommy got to take her Vitalbiome. Now the rest of the troops are up and we are ready to start our day. And we are starting it by watching the Incredibles… What else would you expect from #thesuperherofamily?
