Our daily routine

Our pre-baby daily routine:
5:30 If I'm good, get out of bed and exercise. If not,
6:30 Open my eyes to see K standing next to the bed, staring at me.
6:45-7:15 K watches a TV show while I make his lunch, pack his bag, and get dressed.
7:15-8:30 Breakfast. He takes forever.
8:30-9 Get dressed, play.
9-9:30 Walk to school, drop-off.
9:45-7 p.m. Work.
7:30 Arrive home, wolf down whatever dinner I can grab on the way upstairs, give K a bath and put him to bed.
8:30 Eat a little more, get back to work on my laptop.
11 If I'm lucky, go to bed. First email the partner I'm working with to make sure I'm done for the night.

Our post-baby daily routine, so far:
6:00 Wake up, feed baby.
6:30 K gets up, watches a TV show while I hang out with X and prepare breakfast. JW gets ready and goes to work.
7-7:45 Breakfast. X gets finger food, which he manages to get into his mouth about 2% of the time. K gets told over and over, "Please sit in your seat and eat your breakfast."
7:45-8 Get everybody dressed and ready, head out to school.
8-8:30 Drop-off.
9-5:30 Work.
5-6 JW picks up the kids and fixes dinner.
6-8:30 Have dinner and put both kids to bed. X needs to be actually asleep by 7. K should be asleep by 8, but usually that's when we start reading.
8:30-9:15 Wash the bottles and pump parts, prepare lunches, pack up everything for the next day.
9:15-10:30 Free time. Do work, clean up, go grocery shopping, make phone calls, pay bills, watch TV, read, hang out with JW.
10:30 Collapse. JW feeds X a bottle.

This works great, except for one thing: I've only been back at work for a week and my workload is unusually light. I haven't been staffed on any deals yet and haven't had to bring much work home. If I could always be at work from 9-5:30, life would be easy(ish).

The adjustment has been harder on JW than on me, I think. He went from basically no mandatory childcare or house responsibilities to handling the most difficult time of day with both kids on his own. I keep getting frantic calls from him asking what he should make for dinner. (He also has this thing about actually cooking every night. I don't care if we eat clean-out-the-fridge salad, leftovers, or spaghetti and frozen meatballs for dinner, but he feels like he hasn't done his job.) I've had to be more regimented in the morning and spend time preparing at night, but other than that, returning to work hasn't been as much of an adjustment for me as I expected, thanks to my currently light work schedule. I'm dreading that call assigning me to some huge acquisition.
