My Daily Routine Part II

It's been almost six weeks since Andrew's birth and I just have one word to sum up the whole experience...”WOW”. He is growing so fast (just over 9 lbs now) and he will start going to day care this week. My routine for the last 6 weeks has changed very little. I tried going to bed early and getting up really early (like 5:30am), that lasted about one week. It's just too difficult for me to become that hard core at this point. I would wake up at 5:30, do work for about 1.5 hours from home and then take a shower and head into work. What I have found works best is for me to get up at 7:00am each morning. I have been able to do that consistently for the last 3-4 weeks. If I wake up at seven I can get Jordan to school between 8:00am and 8:30am. I arrive to work shortly thereafter, work through lunch and leave the office around 5:15 to go pick up Jordan from school. I get home around 5:45 or 6:00 and eat dinner, play with kids, etc. I usually do work between 9:00pm and 11:00pm and try to get to bed before Midnight. For some reason, even if I end up staying up until 1:00am, I have no problems waking up at 7:00am when the alarm goes off.

The only part about my day that I don't like is that I have no time to workout. I'm hoping that I can find some time to get back into the gym sometime soon. At work, it seems like I sit down at my desk in the morning and before I can blink it's time to leave and get Jordan. I hate the days that I forget to pack my lunch because I don't like having to go out and get food, it's such a waste of time.

Before we had Andrew everyone asked how I was going to handle the lack of sleep. Thus far, it's been easy, Velvet handles 99% of the work. She's been great and has really made it too easy for me. She starts work this week and I have a feeling the next six weeks will be harder than the first six. So stay tuned...
