I image our day will probably be like it is now, but with one more person

I wake up around 6, shower and get myself ready, the kids get up at 7 and i get them ready and feed them breakfast. Kids play in the living room (hopefully the baby takes a little nap around 8 or 9 and i get to play with Ross and Will and have a little me time) snack and TV time from 10-11, then its nap time for everyone from 11-1, while i get computer time. Kids wake up and i feed them lunch, again free play until Dh gets home at 5pm (hopefully the baby will take another nap sometime in the PM) I cook dinner and we eat between 5-6, then a bit more play time with daddy, and I get a little break bath time for the kids and all the children to sleep by 7-730. I clean up and do a load of laundry, relax, talk to DH, watch some tv, use the computer, sometimes take a bath and go to bed around 10

I'm going to sleep when I can
Nurse when needed
Diapers as needed
Make sure dinner is on the table
and ensure there are snuggles with my husband before bed.

I'm planning on letting baby dictate as much as possible. I will just need to keep the house clean and food on the table. We plan on a lot of frozen meals for me to pull out and pop in as needed as well. One of my "must have baby items" will be a food vacuum so that way everything will stay fresh longer.

Now this part of baby planning, I'm great at! Helps we already have a scheduel in place .

5:30am-Wake up, walk dog, shower
6:30am-Get dsd up and eating breakfest, then get up baby and feed baby
7am-Leave for work, GF drops off dsd at school most days and will probably bring baby to daycare, they usually leave shortly after I do.
Noon-ish-Whenever I take lunch at work I'll go see baby at daycare and hopefully nurse, the daycare we'll use encourages mommy/daddy to visit babies during the day, especially for feedings.
3:30pm-Pick up dsd from school, pick up baby from daycare
4pm-Go to gym, kids play in kid play area thing they have
5:30pm-Home! Play with kids, help dsd with school work, play with dog, ect.
6:30pm-GF home! Dinner time! After dinner walk with kids and dog.
8pm-9pm-Bedtime for little ones! Baths, stories, songs, hugs, and sleep.
9pm-11pm-Cuddle up with GF (DW by then!), relax, grown up time, and then bed.

We're big scheduelers. That's just a basic, and usually on fridays GF and I work half days, pick up dsd and spend the afternoon together. Dsd is sick today though so she stayed home. And I stayed with her cause it's easier for me to work from home then for GF to move her patients all around.

for the beginning. i have no siblings, nobody I know has a baby so this will be all new to me. I may be spazzing out on here often going "what do i do, how do i do this aaaahhhh!" LOL! i will be a SAHM so... yea the baby dictates most of life for a while. I would add in lots of walks with the dog & baby.

^I have zero baby experience too! I fully except serious freaking out on my part. Luckily GF has done this before!
