For about a month now, the kids had fallen into a routine that worked out very well. Dax would wake up around 6:30 am, take a bottle at 7:30 am and then head back to sleep. I'd have a bit of time to get things done around the house before Julia woke up and needed breakfast. The two would play and we'd all have lunch around noon. Then the kids would both nap for a couple of hours giving me uninterrupted, blissful, "me" time. Up around 3:30 pm for snacks and then out to the deck to play until Daddy got home. Beautiful. Perfect.
But.
The past few days, Dax has been demanding his noon bottle at 10:30!!!! This throws off our whole schedule! Everyone is doing something different all the time. No one is eating at the same time or playing at the same time or (gasp!) napping at the same time! Add to this a night or two of 3 am awakenings and you have a worn out Mommy.

Hang in there! They will settle back into a routine where you get more me-time!
I myself am a little nervous of the whole schedule thing once there are more kiddos! For someone who usually isn't too schedule oriented, I have a feeling I am about to be!
Dax, man, slow down. You don't have to grow up all that quickly!
