To be honest, these #adayinthelife posts are getting harder and harder to do. Not that my days are hard, it’s just that I am happily distracted with the actually living part. But I’m really glad that I did this last week. Like really glad. One day these days will be so far away and I wont remember what every day was like and this will be a nice glimpse into what a regular day was like with a newborn & a one year old. The last time I wrote one of these posts I was just pregnant with Ellis and Dutch had just turned 1, and to say that life has changed in just 8 months would be like the ultimate understatement of the year. It’s neat to me to look back at what life was like; but honestly, some things are still the same just bigger. Like laundry and changing diapers. I still do that around the clock…just more now. hahaha
It's 7am, and I overslept by an hour! After I nurse Ellis at 5:30 I always pump so today I'm having breakfast and pumping to get back on track before the babies wake up. Hopefully I can get my devotional in today
It's 8am. ..I'm shocked Dutch isn't awake yet so I'm doing the dishes since that darn Dish Fairy skipped over our house again last night! I normally do dishes before bed but I fell asleep on the couch last night oooops
It's 9am...bedhead :-) Dutch is awake drinking his milk, mama is watching her daily dose of the Today Show (an addiction really lol), & Ellis is sleeping still.
It's 10am...look who's awake! Ellis has been fed & changed, Dutch is having the blueberry waffles I made him, & I'm on my second cup of coffee.
It's 11am....Dutch is working on his numbers & letters

It's 12pm...baby girl has been nursed back to sleep, Dutch had smoked chicken salad, cheese, and crackers for lunch, and now I've started laundry and going through Dutch’s shoes to see what still fits so I'm ready to shop at the consignment sale this weekend.
It's 1pm...nursed Ellis, vacuumed the house, and now putting my laundry away. Then Dutch is going down for a nap. Glamorous life y'all lol
It's 2pm....swapping smiles with this precious little one!
It's 4pm...reheated my 2nd cup of coffee for the 2000th time, pumping again, & folding diapers again
It's 5pm...dinner is in the oven and I'm trying to finish these birth announcements that I've been addressing for 3 weeks now. I will finish before Ellis is one!
At 6pm...we had loaded sweet potatoes, with roasted dijon chicken served over a spinach and goat cheese salad.
It's 8pm...we played, cleaned up, watched 1 episode of Mickey Mouse, did our Hotdog dance (y'all we are good, you should see our moves!), & put Dutch to bed
It's 9pm...one more nursing session for this girl before we go to bed. I'm gunna call it for today because if history is any indication I'm going to pass out right here on the couch before I drag myself to bed after our next nursing session around midnight. Night y'all!
So that is our pretty regular day, now times today by 7 and that's our everyday :-) It isn’t a glamorous life but it is a life I love and am grateful for every single day!
