My suggestions are: make the pancakes the night before and wait to put your work clothes on until the very last minute!!!<br /><br />I have to leave the house at 8 am. I get up at 6:20, shower, get halfway dressed, by then Nico is up. I give him a bottle of milk (either sitting with him or just propping him up on my bed with one). I sit on the bedroom floor to do my makeup and he usually climbs into my lap and throws everything out of my makeup bag. Then he brushes his hair while I blow dry mine (quick-like: flip upside down, dry for 5 min max). Then I get him dressed.<br /><br />Then we go downstairs and I put him in teh Pack N Play and turn on Baby Einstein. That is baby crack, and he will stay happily glued to the TV until it is over. Then I his lunch and breakfast (which I have made the night before. Not like in a bag ready to go, but I've picked everything out and put it in containers so in the morning all I have to do is throw it all into a bag, fill some bottles, and go). Then I pack my food for the day and make breakfast for the dog. Usually I'm ready by 7:45/8.<br /><br />Can't wait to hear how it goes!!!<br /><br />And how is your mom doing????? She's going to miss those little munchkins so much!Mariehttp://morecheese.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468195659754987090.post-88805888106771450702011-05-18T12:19:36.133-05:002011-05-18T12:19:36.133-05:00Love2Travel

If morning #1 doesn't go as planned then start adjusting night schedule. Morning schedule will surely follow. Then there are days that are just a crap-shoot.

I imagine it will be a transition period. Maybe start about three hours early the first week? Ha ha.

They may surprise you and love the new plan, but...<br /><br />Be prepared for a nice honeymoon period where the babies love daycare because it is fun and new with cool toys. Then, once they get comfortable there and realize this is all day every day... don't be surprised to see some rebellion and protest at drop-off. Generally, infants need a full 2 weeks (or more) to settle into a new routine of child care. And in my many years of infant room experience, 12 months is a very hard age to start out of the home care - they are used to being at home and the center of everything for so long. This transition could be rough for all of you. Just be prepared and then it won't throw you for a loop. Like I said, they may react differently and then you can be happy and relieved!)JILLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468195659754987090.post-17928434167842319562011-05-16T23:04:31.430-05:002011-05-16T23:04:31.430-05:00You can totally do it... though I might suggest on...You can totally do it... though I might suggest one small edit...<br /><br />Be 100% ready, THROW SMOCK OR ROBE OVER WORK CLOTHES, then wake kiddies...<br /><br />Breakfast shrapnel can significantly set back a schedule, lol.Big Mama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497834006248871553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468195659754987090.post-66829480511661726422011-05-16T22:26:42.675-05:002011-05-16T22:26:42.675-05:00AAWWW - I have full faith and confidence that afte...AAWWW - I have full faith and confidence that after a few days or maybe even weeks you guys will settle into a routine that works!!!
