I usually wake up, check my phone and then brush my teeth. Trying to add in a new step of morning meditation, if I have enough time. Then I feed the cat, do the dishes, and start breakfast. It's a thrill a minute over here!
Do you have a morning ritual?

How much quiet time do you have to yourself before the kids are up?
Right now my ritual depends on LO, so there isn't much of a ritual...

@Meridian: it really depends! Woke up at 5 and kids will probably wake up soon. So maybe 3 hours today?
Usually I get an hour or two.

Check my email on my phone, bathroom stuff, feed the dog and make coffee. No LOs yet, so mornings are usually pretty peaceful.
@mrbee: I need to set time aside for morning meditation, too. I usually meditate at night but I think both would be more beneficial.

LO wakes up. If she's happy in her bed, I take 5 to 10 minutes to meditate/pray/read my bible. If she isn't I just go to the bathroom, grab my robe and head out. Then LO and I snuggle and watch cartoons while she eats a banana, we change her diaper and start breakfast. After breakfast I check my phone, empty the dishwasher and then we get ready for our day. I enjoy my mornings with her but they aren't that relaxing lol

Usually: DH gets up with LO and I sleep an extra hour. I get up, get dressed/etc, and go downstairs and take over baby care until she gets tired (30-60 min usually). Then I put her down for a nap and make breakfast and have a cup of coffee and watch some tv, which is usually the calmest/laziest part of my day and I love it 
Sometimes I get up with LO then: Get baby up and changed. Take her downstairs and feed the dog. Give baby her medicine. Let the dog out. Feed the cats and give cat his medicine. Make a bottle and feed LO. Then we play for an hour or two until she is ready for a nap and I put her down and get my breakfast.

T wakes me up because he's an early riser.
Right now, it's temp when he wakes me up, get up and change his diaper. Give him a bottle while I drink coffee and check my phone. Play a little, make breakfast and eat breakfast together.

Get up when baby wakes me up, nurse in bed. Then pump/make tea and have cereal while DS is in his excersaucer. Then we play until around 9 when Ds has his breakfast.
