DS (3 months) has been waking up around 8-8:30 so I just get up when I hear him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1535406 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:39:50 +0000 Tidybee 1535406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish...DD wakes up anywhere from 6:15-6:45, and sometimes 6am is just too early. I wish I could be @Running Elley: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1535399 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:36:19 +0000 sumer08 1535399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally do. LO typically wakes up around 7:00, and I'm usually up by 6:30. On days I wake up before LO, I shower and eat breakfast, and I find that really helps get the day started off on the right track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1535193 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 17:36:22 +0000 LomaLinda 1535193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my LO started STTN, I try to get up before he does. I don't have to, but a few minutes to myself to wake up and get dressed really starts the day off on the right foot. If I go to bed late I'll just let him wake me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1535039 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 15:50:53 +0000 Running Elley 1535039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp. Both of my kids wake up at around 7. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6:15 and run. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I take a 5am class at the gym, come home and shower before they get up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1534739 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:04:44 +0000 plantains 1534739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. She wakes up between 5.30 and 6.30. Sometimes I get up at 6 to go to the gym, but that is about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1534650 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:35:07 +0000 Lindsay05 1534650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to try before DD2 arrived but now waking up at around 5 to feed is just way too early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1534643 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:31:02 +0000 Jenn23 1534643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J gets up every day at about 7am. So I set my alarm for 6:40 every morning and get up, let the dog out, make a cup of coffee, burn my tongue drinking it (I'm not a morning person and need coffee ASAP), then quickly jump in the shower and get dressed. Then I go get him from his crib by 7:05am. I truly can't function well without coffee and a shower and feel so much better being awake for about a half hour before him, then if I were to get up at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1514196 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:36:34 +0000 cranberryapple 1514196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back when DS used to wake up later in the mornings, like around 7:15 or even up to 8:00-ish, I would wake up beforehand, but now, he wakes us up at 6:30! Nooooo!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1514189 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:30:59 +0000 MamaJ 1514189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not usually. If we have somewhere to be in the morning I will set my alarm and get ready before he wakes. But thats usually once a week or less </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1514085 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 13:31:16 +0000 bhbee 1514085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO sleeps until 7:30 most days, which means I can choose. if I want to wash/style my hair I get up at 6:30. if I'm just throwing myself together with a ponytail I can do that after she is awake. </p> <p>when I do get up early I always enjoy it - especially if I have time to myself to eat or catch up on my phone. but it's hard to make myself do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1514074 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 13:24:37 +0000 tinyperson 1514074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - she was an early riser (4:30-5:30). No way I was getting up earlier than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513992 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 12:09:33 +0000 JerricaBenton 1513992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a perfect day I get up and ready and get breakfast for dh before lo gets up. More often then not though, I just sleep if we don't have anything to do in the morning. It's especially shameful because lo sleeps pretty late :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513935 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 11:36:23 +0000 hilsy85 1513935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. His wake time isn't consistent enough for me to set an alarm earlier anyway, unless I set it at like 530. Not happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513732 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:38:25 +0000 immabeetoo 1513732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I'm not a morning person so when I do wake up early I don't get anything accomplished anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513692 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:17:57 +0000 junebugmama 1513692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sleep pretty much as long as I can. I take J1 to school though 2 days per week, so then I'm usually up before J2 and have to wake him so we can make it on time. However, I don't really shower or get ready until after nap time, because I sleep then too lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513688 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:17:03 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1513688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha....no </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513686 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:15:46 +0000 winniebee 1513686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally. My husbands alarm usually goes off at 545 so if I feel rested enough sometimes I get up when he is out of the shower. But usually LO is up at 630 anyways..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513683 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:13:25 +0000 wonderstruck 1513683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I can see the benefits of it, but if baby is sleeping in then so am I! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513489 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 06:24:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 1513489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I never know what time she will sleep til. If i do naturally wake before her (or if we have somewhere to be early) I'll get up and shower before she's up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513454 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 03:48:00 +0000 AprilFool 1513454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Dh gets up for work and gets her up. He'll wake me when he leaves if I am not up before but I usually am. To get up before her would mean getting about about 5:30am. No thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513446 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 02:55:16 +0000 Andrea 1513446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always shower and get ready first thing. It really does help with the motivation and it's nice to have a few minutes of peace before my "job" starts. I leave the house many times a day so I don't want to look like a bum either. :-p</p> <p>My kids wake up early, but DH will watch them for a few min while I shower. He was gone this past week, but I made sure to wake up before they were up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513442 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 02:23:22 +0000 yin 1513442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy sleep too much to wake up any earlier. My kids are my alarm clock. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513407 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 00:31:56 +0000 sandy 1513407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past year I shower at night and set my alarm for 7:30. She's usually either up a little before then or a little after. Some days she sleep in until 8:30 and in that case I get ready for the day and start unloading the dishwasher. But most days I get out of bed when she wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513319 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 22:09:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1513319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to (consistently for nearly a month), then we hit the 4 month sleep regression &amp; I am literally incapable of getting up before I absolutely have to. I regularly dream of the day when I can start &amp; end my days peacefully alone for a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513304 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:54:46 +0000 Pepper 1513304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I take all the sleep I can get :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513293 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:46:54 +0000 pinkcupcake 1513293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, she usually wakes up around 8 - 830am and I get up around 730ish and have a cup of coffee and shower. It really helps to have that extra :30 to hour to myself to get myself ready for the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513284 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:40:09 +0000 Mrs. M 1513284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a great resolution. Lately she is up at 5:45 or 6 so I don't get up much earlier. If she ever sleeps later than this I definitely will consider. It's currently pathetic how often I shower and get ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513269 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:32:44 +0000 Radish 1513269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that she sleeps until 7:30-8, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-do-you-get-up-before-lo-1#post-1513267 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:31:43 +0000 chopsuey 1513267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually no. I usually wake up when DD crawls into bed with us :P </p>
