I think if you looked the word HECTIC up in the dictionary, you would find my picture beside it. It's hard having one kid, a job, a house, and so many other things to keep up with. However, when you add another baby to the mix it really becomes HECTIC!!
My day usually starts at 7 or 7:30 every morning. I get up and get Keagan a bottle and by the time I get it made which only takes maybe 30 seconds, she is screaming her head off. I change her and then the feeding starts. This sometimes takes about 15-30 minutes.
I put her back to bed and she usually sleeps until 10. By this time Brody is also awake. I put Keagan in the bouncy seat so I can run upstairs and get her brother. Brody usually doesn't want to get out of the crib so I turn his T.V. on, raise his blinds, and turn the lights on. Then we do a diaper change for him and by the time I get done with these things Keagan is once again screaming her head off.
Brody and I run downstairs. He plays with Keagan until I can get a bottle for her. Fix Brody some chocolate milk and pancakes. He feeds himself and I feed Keagan. After her feeding I change her diaper and she plays with Brody.
While Brody keeps her entertained for a few minutes I grab a coke and a handful of granola with blueberries....I know breakfast of champs! I literally inhale the stuff and then my cleaning begins. I usually go around pick up all the dirty dishes, trash, and dirty laundry that has been scattered everywhere from the night before. Then I wash bottles and start to clean my kitchen up.
Around 11:00 or 11:30 Keagan starts to get fussy. Brody is done playing with her and is usually in his room playing. I hold Keagan for a little bit and she starts to get sleepy, so I put her down for a nap.
Brody by this time usually has a dirty diaper, so I change him and he goes back to playing. I continue to clean things up around the house. The washer and dryer are almost always going around here. In between cycles I fold and put away the laundry.
11:30-12 Brody wants a snack and I try to play with him for awhile.
1-2 Fix Brody lunch and most of the time Keagan is up and ready to eat also. She will stay up anywhere from 1-2 hours and then she is ready for a nap again, but before she goes down she will get another diaper change.
I pick the living room up constantly. When Brody goes upstairs to play I try to go behind him and clean the mess he has made downstairs. This can consist of Vacuuming, dusting, and mopping the floor.
4 or 4:30 I give Keagan a bottle and change her diaper. Change Brody's diaper if I can catch him.
5:00 I try to put both kids down for a nap. I will let Brody sleep for 1 1/2 or 2 hours depending on his mood. While they are napping I will finish what cleaning I have to do and then I start on dinner.
6-7:00 When Brody gets up I try to get his dinner for him and get him somewhat fed before Keagan gets up.
7-8 Give Keagan another bottle and after we finish I start bath time.
Bath time can last at least an hour if not longer.
9-9:30 Put Keagan down for the night. Brody stays up usually and waits for his daddy to get home from work. I try to squeeze a bath in for me, but sometimes it's later depending on the night.
10-11:30 Brody is going full force!! He plays with Casey for an hour and typically has something to eat with Casey too. I will try and play with them if I can before he goes to bed.
11:30-12am Get Brody into bed. Casey does this for me most of the time. I will wash bottles and clean up anything that is left out.
12 am Keagan sometimes gets up for a bottle!! If she does then I'm in bed by 12:30 or 1 am.
*These days can vary depending on play dates, grocery trips, and taking care of the lawn. It also depends on if Brody wants to play outside!*
I still do most of this I just fit those things into our day and in 10 days I will be going back to work at the hospital. Hectic will not even describe my days then!!

Month four turned out to be a busy month for my little princess. She not only grew 2 teeth on bottom, but she also started rolling over. The doctor was amazed at how active she is and told me that he wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't walking by the time she turned 7 months. I really hope he is wrong about that!!! I'm just not ready for my baby girl to not be a baby anymore!! 
I'm excited to see what she does next!! She is already up on her knees rocking, so I know she will be crawling very soon!! Brother better watch out because once she starts crawling she will follow him every step he makes!! She loves her BIG BROTHER!!
You're the reason I was born
