How to Take Care of Baby While Getting Ready

Carly lives with her partner and 5 calendar month sometime in Oakland, CA. As the director of consumer marketing here at POPSUGAR, Carly commutes via BART to work. This is how she juggles her morning routine, which involves hitting the snooze button at least once — if not more.

My Morning Juggle

4:45

My babe is usually a keen night sleeper, merely typically starts to rustle around between 3 a.m. and v a.m. Sometimes she falls dorsum asleep on her own, but this morning is not one of them. I get up and give her a pacifier and then I can get a flake more shut heart before I officially start "hitting the snooze button" around half-dozen a.m.

6:00

My partner's alarm goes off at 6 a.m. and he preps our daughter's canteen while making his morning java and breakfast. I printing snooze and our daughter plays in her crib.

half dozen:18

I give the snooze push a break and turn the warning off — the light of my phone helps me acclimate to the concept of waking upwards every bit I do an email browse, check the news, and give Instagram a quick curl.

6:25

I leave of bed and get the babe from her crib. Her father and I sometimes "fight" almost who gets to wake her — when she sees us for the showtime time each morning, her smiles are literally the all-time part of the day. Today is my plough! And I am grateful that she'd been playing since 6 a.chiliad.

6:26

Yeah. She has a big poopy diaper, which is not unusual. I change her while her dad finishes upwards his breakfast and his own news scan.

6:thirty

At present happily in a fresh diaper, I hand the babe to her male parent so he can give her a bottle. I will consume later at piece of work after having a cup of java, which I choice up right earlier walking into work, considering I love my ritual of drinking it at my desk while I offset my day. My homo has thankfully boiled hot water for me, so I brand my hot lemon h2o and have with me as I head for a shower.

6:35

I jump into the shower to rinse. Today is non a hair-wash 24-hour interval, so I'm not feeling much of a time crunch.

6:41

Out of the shower, I moisturize my face up and body. I have recently been trying to give myself an extra few minutes of cocky-care in the forenoon past using a jade face roller. It just feels so refreshing.

six:46

Baby and papa read a book in bed while I go dressed.

6:52

I never know what I'one thousand wearing until the spur of the moment, but I find a clean pair of jeans (yay) and a sweater and throw them on. My partner volition shower at the gym at his office — so this forenoon is a lilliputian scrap more arctic around coordinating our efforts.

7:00

I finish drinking my hot lemon water while I do my makeup: tinted moisturizer, brow gel, eyeshadow, a coat of mascara, cream blush, and tinted lip balm. Since I'k stretching my last shampoo, I dab dry shampoo on my hair and brush it through. I realize tomorrow I will accept to wake up on time, 6 a.1000., so I can wash my hair. Ugh.

7:08

The baby sits in her bouncy chair while her grandmother has her tea and toast. Next calendar week, nosotros volition transition to nanny share at our business firm, and I feel fortunate to accept my mother-in-law taking care of our babe until then. My partner and I dash around getting things ready and finding our bags. We both hit the bath sink to brush our teeth.

7:eleven

It's rare that I prep a tiffin for myself, just I silently pat myself on the back for making my overnight soaked oats yesterday for breakfast today, which I will consume at my desk. I chop-chop grab that from the fridge, forth with blueberries, and throw both in my bag.

7:14

Final breeze through the house, looking for easy flats to throw on. Locate my jacket, and decide I also demand a scarf. Kiss my girl and caput for the car. My partner is dropping me off at the BART station.

7:25

Go to the BART station and the kickoff train arrives as I am headed downwards to platform. It's headed to San Francisco. My lucky 24-hour interval. Once in the motorcar, I sideslip in ear buds to listen to The Daily podcast from the New York Times.

7:47

No railroad train delays. Phew. Walk to my favorite coffee spot for my morning time cup. I look forward to this daily ritual.

7:54

At my desk with coffee in hand. Congratulate myself that I made it into the office before eight:00. I am ready to take on the day.
