I try to get ready before she's up, but if not ill put her in the bouncer. My toddler is usually still sleeping through this but if she's up she'll just sit in her bed and play until I get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1358323 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 14:05:10 +0000 Aimed 1358323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh gets up at 5:30 for work so I get up at 6 and work out for half an hour and then shower and get dressed for the day. LO wakes up at 7 or before and I give him a bottle and then he gets a diaper change and dressed for the day. Around 7:30 or 8, I feed him his oatmeal and then I get my breakfast while he plays a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1358295 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:37:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1358295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: it's AWESOME! Who doesn't want to wake up to their hair already fixed? :) I did before baby! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1358205 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 12:14:05 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1358205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got my hair cut, which felt great, but has been a bit of a disaster on the getting ready front. I used to shower at night, use BB cream in the morning and throw on some lip balm and mascara.<br /> Now, I try to wake up before LO and shower and dry my hair, but it doesn't always happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1358100 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 10:16:12 +0000 MamaJ 1358100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I need to do this. I don't wash my hair often and if I blow dry it before bed it still looks nice. I'm just always too lazy to blow dry it so it's a hot mess in the AM! </p> <p>@rahlyrah: my LO napped on me for an embarrassingly long time so I know how that is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357995 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 08:11:49 +0000 Ra 1357995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up when LO wakes up. I feed him his bottle and breakfast and then we either:</p> <p>1. Play- if we aren't on a schedule. Then I will hop in the shower and get ready when DH wakes up around 10 (he WAH).<br /> 2. Shower- if we have an activity in the morning then I just bring LO in the bathroom with me to play while I shower and do my hair/makeup. </p> <p>He still naps on me so I get nothing done during nap time. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357991 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 07:37:41 +0000 fancyfunction 1357991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night - always have. We both get up around 7, sometimes she's up earlier with my husband. We have breakfast at 7:30 and then by 8:30 or so I'll put her in the PnP so I can get dressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357977 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 06:01:25 +0000 illumina 1357977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up around 730 and get her when I've woken up a little from reading my phone in bed! She's usually awake by then so I feed her, get her changed and dressed and then play with her until it's time for her first nap around 9am. Then when she's down I eat and shower. If I'm starving I'll eat whilst I watch her play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357974 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 05:56:25 +0000 Cherrybee 1357974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just coming to the end of a 7 month maternity leave and, to be honest, I stayed in my PJs most days! Some days I rubbed myself down with baby wipes at the start of the day and some days I didn't - true story! Then, in the evening, after DH had bathed the baby, I would jump in her bath water before I emptied it to have a quick wash, change into fresh PJs and the whole sorry cycle would start again. Nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357970 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 05:39:40 +0000 daniellemybelle 1357970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You all are so together! I am still home with LO (3 months) and I usually shower during one of her naps &amp; I never do my hair or makeup. I always wear yoga pants &amp; T shirts unless we have somewhere to go. My husband is so lucky... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357771 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:11:30 +0000 winniebee 1357771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and we go out every morning but I live in a very, very laid back town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357675 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:59:50 +0000 mrskc 1357675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower the night before. I get up when DS wakes up, usually sometime between 7-8. We get up and have breakfast and play a little. Then I'll straighten my hair and put on a little mascara while he plays in my room then I get him dressed for the day. And I usually plan a morning outing for us everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357667 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:56:38 +0000 betsyboop 1357667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up at 6 to shower and have a cup of coffee/read emails and surf the web. LO wakes between 6:45 and 7:15. Before we head out for the morning, I take 5-10 minutes to do my hair and makeup while she either watches or plays by herself. I tried showering at night but I prefer to shower in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357590 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:52:42 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1357590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night but only wash my hair about every 4 days so on wash day I blow dry it before bed &amp; in the first morning I do a quick curl with a 1" iron &amp; I'm good for a few days.<br /> At the very least, I change my clothes, wash my face &amp; put on tinted moisturizer. I usually wait until our morning nap or I put DD in her chair &amp; she "helps" me. (She's only 4 months) I used to get up before her but we're in a sleep regression &amp; I just can't get up! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357579 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:44:13 +0000 tlcbaby 1357579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the day. I go to the gym two or three mornings a week and DH is on duty those mornings until I get a shower so if LO wakes up, he will usually bring him down to play until I get cleaned up. </p> <p>On other mornings, I usually don't take a shower, but still get up around 6:00 so I can wash my face, brush teeth, get dressed and cook breakfast before he wakes up at 7:30 or 8:00. On these days, I have usually showered the night before after being in the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357498 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:28:35 +0000 Radish 1357498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some days I don't even get dressed. I never wear make-up, so usually I just get dressed during her nap or before we head out somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357487 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:24:51 +0000 HLK208 1357487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at night. On days I have to get out, I get ready while they play in my room. On days that I don't, I throw my hair in a ponytail, put on make-up during nap time and get dressed then too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357479 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:21:32 +0000 winniebee 1357479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only get up before him if my husband wakes up after 6 and my LO sleepers til 7. Usually my husband is up at 530 and I fall back asleep til LO wakes up (usually 630). And even then I just get a cup of coffee and watch the news. I usually shower before bed and throw my hair in a pony in the morning. While I wash up and out a little make up my LO is playing in the other room or taking everything g out of the bathroom drawers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357469 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:16:56 +0000 sarac 1357469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way would I get up before her. My toddler is accustomed to waiting while I do my getting ready routine. She likes to help and have me put lotion and such on her too - very cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357438 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:04:52 +0000 MamaChin 1357438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up half an hour before LO so I can brush my teeth, wash my face and eat. I shower at night but will wash my hair during his nap several times a week, I hate drying my hair at night. Make up is rare, only when we're meeting friends, even then it's just eyebrows and tinted lip balm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357339 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:18:23 +0000 looch 1357339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was at home, I wore no make up and pretty much just air dried my hair. I did shower at night though, when my husband was home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357327 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:14:35 +0000 mrsjyw 1357327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm a p/t wah/sahmom, p/t woh mom. and i usually shower at nighttime or during LO's nap. i also put my face on while LO plays in the bathroom or next to me on the floor going through my makeup bag. hair usually gets thrown in a bun. i change quickly into usually leggings &amp; a tunic which is my at home uniform! (oh and this is on days that i actually decide to shower and/or put my face on.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357317 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:12:39 +0000 Silva 1357317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I get ready during her nap. If she's having a hard time making it to her nap I will get dressed with her on my bed because it distracts her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357306 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:08:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1357306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up when she wakes up, between 7:30 and 8:30. Lately Dh changes her diaper and brings her to me in bed and I nurse her there laying down because I love the morning snuggles. Then I put her in her high chair with toys and she watches me eat breakfast, we play a little while, then she goes down for her morning nap and I go shower, get dressed. Make up is rare- but that was true even before I had her. I get her dressed after her morning nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357264 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:53:17 +0000 sunny 1357264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just roll out of bed... Kidding!!!</p> <p>I shower at night and then in the morning we usually wake up together because we cosleep in the mornings and when I get out of bed she instantly wakes up too. If we are going somewhere I put my makeup on while she plays in the bathroom next to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357241 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:47:46 +0000 Running Elley 1357241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I get up early and work out..either at the gym or at home. Then I take a shower while the LOs are still sleeping. Some days I put my hair up/wear a hat. On the other days I usually put DD in her swing and let DS just play with toys in our room while I blow dry my hair. I only wear mascara and I usually just put it on right when we get in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357215 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:31:17 +0000 deerylou 1357215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cosleep, so DD and I wake up around the same time, shortly after my husband leaves for work. I change and feed her, play with her for a bit, and eat my breakfast while she chills on her activity mat. I shower and dress once she goes down for her morning nap. If I have chores to do around the house first, I'll just get ready once she wakes up, and put her in a bouncy seat, in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357209 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:28:42 +0000 rattles 1357209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all get up at the same time. I make coffee then dress and change DD while DH showers and gets ready. DD and I eat breakfast together and play, then I put her down for her morning nap and shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357193 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:21:07 +0000 Andrea 1357193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all get up at the same time. DH watches them while I quickly shower and get dressed. Then I do breakfast with the kids and DH gets ready for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-is-your-getting-ready-routine#post-1357192 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:20:13 +0000 shopaholic 1357192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to sleep in as long as possible. I try to shower at night now. If not, then I'll shower during her first nap. I put her in the PnP in our room or in the Bumbo in the bathroom with me while I brush my teeth and if I put on make-up, get dressed, etc. </p>
