How is your day?" I don't think much about it because it's just so part of our every day, but when I saw you mentioned that it made me realize how much I love that he checks in on me every day. I mean, we always take time to talk at night (if we're home then we eat dinner at the table together and talk and if we're out then we talk in the car on the way to wherever we're going). And we are like you guys too in going to bed together. I love that. It's little things that make you feel so secure. Love this post!

I look like something that shouldn't come out from underneath a bridge. Ha, ha!<br /><br />We all have our habits & I follow mine pretty strictly. If I'm forced to do something out of the norm, I pretty much lose my shit for a good hour or so.

If I do my morning routine out of order, it throws my whole day off. I do the same, I go to bed at the same time as my husband every night. Even if I'm not sleeping, we go to bed at the same time. We just need to work on more date nights. Those are hard once you have kids, but it just means if it's important to you, you work harder to make them happen.

You will totally be able to keep them after she arrives, there may just be an adjustment period for the first few months... which is TOTALLY normal!!<br />One anchor habit that saved my sanity was creating a bed time routine the first day we brought Mia home! It's changed and evolved with Mia's growth but I kid you not when I say it saved my sanity. When she was newborn I would feed her, bathe her (Eric did this when he was home from work), lotion etc, feed her again (top her off, ha ha!) then put her down. Now we bathe her, read her a story, sing a couple songs, pray (all in the rocking chair) then tuck her in while singing a couple more songs. At first the night time routine was more of an unwinding thing for me because I knew I would be able to catch some sleep as soon as Mia went down, but now it's totally unwinding for Mia as she knows that bed time is coming and it's time to simma' down :) We do it the same time every night, and I plan on incorporating this into baby brother's schedule when he arrives!Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932251648323616331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95500363417469462.post-35591491349030249742015-06-10T08:23:10.176-05:002015-06-10T08:23:10.176-05:00I haven't' heard of anchors but I am using...I haven't' heard of anchors but I am using dailies now and I love it. Having a routine that fulfills me and my life is something I really enjoy. <br /><br />I have coffee, do yoga and read blogs in the morning too and it makes me feel great to get so much accomplished before work.
