Andrew:Shawn is the queen of schedules.
Starting around 6:30 or 6:45 p.m. after dinner, we turn all the TVs off to start calming down.
We read some books, we play with toys, and we just get in that quiet zone.
Shawn:Usually running around naked.
Bath time is around 7 p.m. We brush her teeth, we put our pajamas on, and then I hand her over to Daddy.
And as soon as she starts on her bottle, she is ready for bed.
Her eyes get all droopy and it takes about five to 10 minutes.
We do a little cuddle and then put her in the crib, and that’s that.
Shawn:We swear by Avent bottles; that’s what she’s used ever since she was born.
And the best sleep sack in the entire world is Kyte.
note: Johnson has partnered with Philips Avent in the past.]
We’ve been very spoiled.
She’s been a great sleeper from day one.
This time around, there is no time for that.
So I think what I would consider my self-care right now is my workouts.
Andrew:Shawn has a whole setup in our bedroom.
Shawn:Yeswe have a purifier and humidifier.
It’s atwo-in-one, and it’s also a fan, so it makes some sound.
So I usually sleep with two to four massive pillows stuffed around me.
Andrew:And then always a cup of water on her bedside.
Shawn:Oh yeah, our nightstands are comical.
We each have 10 water bottles and glasses of water.
Andrew:You have, like, a 20-minute skin-care routine.
Shawn:I do a fullskin-care routineevery single night.
Then I do a full body layer of lotion.
I will say she has increased my appreciation for taking care of skin.
I would more naturally not shower before bed, but Shawn has adamantly asked that I do that.
Shawn:PregnancynoseI don’t want to smell that at night.
Andrew:So between those two things, I think I’m in better shape.
I also feel likeexercisehas helped us sleep better.
Shawn:And we try really hard to support each other in alone time.
Andrew:I love reading, so that’s my alone time of choice.
Shawn:I work out or I watchNew Girlon TV.
