I'd love to sleep til 10 just once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205722 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 03:21:41 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1205722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up with my son. We co sleep and there is no other way really. Sometimes if he sleeps in a bit I will wake up before him. 7am is typical but on rough nights or when teething or sick it's all about sleep!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205700 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 02:06:01 +0000 lamariniere 1205700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WAH, but wake up either when I hear DS waking up or when DH's alarm goes off. If neither of these things happen, I usually wake up naturally first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205601 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 22:52:57 +0000 wheres_c 1205601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever LO wakes up. Usually around 7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205556 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:27:46 +0000 Pepper 1205556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO wakes up at 7 to eat, and then he goes back to sleep until around 10. I've been so tired lately, that I'll go back to sleep with him. I need to start getting up at 7 and doing stuff around the house while he sleeps (though with my luck, he'd wake right up when I'm not there since we cosleep). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205547 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:21:14 +0000 chopsuey 1205547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up when my DD calls for me in the morning. Usually between 6-7am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205524 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:02:24 +0000 IcebergMom 1205524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>630. :) slightly before the sun rises. That's LO's time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205523 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:01:45 +0000 Penny Lane 1205523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when LO does. normally 8:30/9. but he then happily hangs out in his cot for half hour or so while I wake up fully and sometimes shower </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205522 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:01:41 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1205522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: haha yep that happens here too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205520 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:01:17 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1205520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, E gets up at 7am... So I set my alarm for 6.45 so I can make coffee, get water, put washing on etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205505 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 20:52:52 +0000 shopaholic 1205505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear LO can sense when I wake up, even from her own room! If I wake up before her, it's almost guaranteed that she'll wake up within 5 min. of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205496 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 20:45:10 +0000 Ree723 1205496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I'm so jealous! That sounds like my idea of heaven - a bit of time chatting with the hubs over a cup of coffee before he heads to work. Unfortunately, DH leaves for work at 5:20 am, and as much as I love him, I'm just not prepared to get up quite that early! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205471 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 20:31:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1205471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a WAHM until my maternity leave but I am home with LO all day. I get up when she does--5:45 since daylight savings. And I don't go to bed until DH gets home from work--usually midnight. I dont sleep enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205468 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 20:29:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1205468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up at seven so I can have a cup of coffee with DH before he goes to work. LO is usually up at eight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205462 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 20:25:37 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1205462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddo wakes with the sun or earlier (5:30 this week - dst ugh) so it would be a miracle to find 30 mins for me before hand. But that sounds truly lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205443 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 19:59:47 +0000 loveisstrange 1205443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is a sleeper and generally sleeps until 8:30/9. I either wake up with her or I wake up at 8 and get 30-45 minutes of alone time with my iPad. I love having that time in the morning to wake up and stretch myself without having to get get her right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205437 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 19:53:02 +0000 betsyboop 1205437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to wake up at least 45 minutes before LO does so I can shower, have coffee, catch up on news and emails, etc. Thanks to daylight savings, this means I'm waking up at 5:15 but hopefully that will get pushed back to 6! If I'm woken up by LO and don't have some quiet time to myself, I'm a cranky mommy and no one wants to see that! But I nap when LO naps so that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205238 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:55:03 +0000 Ree723 1205238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO typically wakes up an hour or so before she's ready to get out of her cot. I'll hear her stir and then start chatting to herself or playing with Violet (her singing dog stuffed animal) and that's my 'alarm' that I have one hour left. Usually I lay in bed and read or check emails/HB (which is exactly what I'm doing right now!) but if we have a busy day ahead, I'll take my shower in that time.</p> <p>LO usually wakes between 7-7:30 and wants out of her cot between 8-8:30. She's 16 months old and I'm savouring it before the arrival of baby #2 in a few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205224 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:46:41 +0000 delight 1205224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Typically she wakes at 530/6 to eat and goes back to sleep. I never bother going back to bed after that since she is up for the day by 7:30. I usually enjoy a coffee and read by book or surf the internet (sometimes shower!) until she gets up. If I try to go back to bed I just lie there awake anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205208 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:40:21 +0000 sarac 1205208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she wakes up, except for the glorious period where she was sleeping past 7. Then sometimes I would wake up and have a bit of time - heaven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205189 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 16:30:13 +0000 AprilFool 1205189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately it's been 4am when she wakes for a feed. I am so tired *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205039 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 15:04:46 +0000 jmarionsmith 1205039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: we're in a similar situation in that dh works 12 hour night shifts. he gets home around 6:45 am which is usually right around when lo is waking up (though lately lo is loving a 6 am wake up :/) so he will take lo for an hour or two so i can sleep until 8-9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1205030 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 15:01:12 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1205030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the baby wakes up, generally between 7-8. I still consider it a slow start because my toddler only gets up at 8:30, so I have time to get myself and baby dressed before starting the juggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1204997 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:44:34 +0000 Running Elley 1204997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up whenever DS does, usually between 6 and 7. Before I got pregnant again I'd get up early and go to the gym before he woke up. Hopefully ill be able up get back to that routine eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1204927 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:14:43 +0000 deerylou 1204927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bed share, and I wake up when she starts to stir. This usually coincides with when my husband gets up to get ready for work. We'll usually cuddle and cat nap for about an hour, and then get up for the day around 7:45. On the weekends, my husband takes her for an hour, and I sleep until 9. I'm so not a morning person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1204914 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:11:47 +0000 autumn865 1204914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would in theory love to wake up a litte before her to get my day started quietly. But in reality her usual wake up is anywhere between 5 (at times earlier) and 6 so I need every minute of sleep I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1204870 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:00:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 1204870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually sleep until 10-10:30, depending on when E wakes up. But we run on a later schedule than most people because of D's work schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1204863 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:58:43 +0000 skipra 1204863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up around 6:45-7:00 so I can shower before DH leaves for work. DS wakes up around 6 and I nurse him in bed. He'll then play in his crib while DH showers and I get a few more minutes of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-when-do-you-wake-up#post-1204847 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:54:22 +0000 mrsmate 1204847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: @sandy: yup, DD definitely got iPad-in-bed time when she used to get up at 6 and still woke up 1x/night.</p> <p>Now that she wakes up at 7-7:30, I get up when she wakes up. If I happen to wake before she does, it's iPad time for mom. </p>
