Today I was a big brave mummy,
and I left my baby with his Nana for 4 hours!
Some people will bash me for that, but I desperately needed new clothes and was intending for it to be a dash in and out job, turns out an 11lb baby can suck the life from your body and slim you right down. Even if Boots BMI and weight scales do say I'm overweight but let's just forget about that bit.
It's funny how going out for a waffle (a very delicious one I may add) and scrambling through the sale rail in Primark felt like a date for me and my partner. It's rare that we aren't just discussing our daughters bowel movements or flipping a coin over who does the crappy nappy. The whole time we were there we were just feeling totally guilty and even found ourselves rushing our desserts, parenthoods guilt card is a pain in the arse.
My Mum had a fab time looking after my little baby, my big baby goes every weekend to Nana and Grandads and has done since she was around 11 months old! It became a regular thing and now they don't want it to ever stop. I truly believe it's their highlight of the week (unlsss they just tell me that haha). When I arrived to pick him up he was lounging in his sisters old pink bouncy chair looking around as if to say "So what that I'm not crying here, wait til we get home, im being good for my Nana"
Even though I've been up since 4am again this morning, my 4 hour child free period was just what I needed to regain some control over my emotions, it isn't always funny and I'm not always smiling. This week has been really really hard on my body and on my mind, I defiantly needed that wind down time.
So Mum, if your reading this, same time next week okay?
