11:00 pm Bedtime.
3-4:00 am Lucy wakes up at least once. Nurse her and put her back to sleep.
This inevitably wakes up Junie. Go back to sleep while nursing her down.
5:15 Alarm goes off. Shower & get ready for work.
6:30 Change both girls, one last nursing session.
6:45 Out the door for work.
7:15 Arrive at work.
8:45 Pumping session #1
11:00 Workout #1- Run 3-4 miles. Quick shower, back to work.
12:00 Pumping session #2. Eat lunch at same time.
3:00 Pumping session #3
4:30 Leave work for home.
5:00 Arrive at home- nurse girls.
5:30 Prepare dinner and eat.
6:30 Lucy’s bathtime followed by pajamas and stories.
7:15 Lucy’s in bed.
7:30 Junie’s eating again. Clean up house- mainly Lucy clutter.
8:00 Workout session #2- P90X
9:30 Shower, recovery drink. Prep for tomorrow- make/pack breakfast and lunch, etc.
10:30 Catch up on email, little bit of free time
11:00 Bedtime
Summary:
- 3 pumping sessions
- 9 hours of out-of-home work
- 2 ½ hours of working out
- At least 2 nursing sessions for Lucy, more likely 4
- Allowance for 6.25 hours of sleep, but with wake-ups it’s really more like 4-5 hours. Getting in bed before 11:30 is a miracle.
No wonder I’m exhausted! You’ll notice there’s almost no time in my day for housework, laundry, or cooking- thank goodness for a rockstar husband who takes of it all for me. I don’t know what I’d do without him.

I don't know how you find the energy to work out after all that breastfeeding and pumping and general parenting. Wow. I am getting kind of worried about what my days (and nights) will look like once #3 arrives!
Um.... Yikes. I just hope your weekends are times you take off from pumping so much and working out. What a pace!
