I had such a lovely day with the two kids today. N is now 11 weeks and I feel like we are finally finding a rhythm on solo parenting days. It is still challenging but we are working it out together.
Today we tried a new toddler class and I was able to bring N along in the baby carrier. The baby carrier is such a life saver but I still don’t feel fully able to help C if he falls or needs a cuddle etc so there are some drawbacks. The class was very supportive and accommodating. It can be quite daunting going out with both of them at the moment but I love it when we find somewhere that completely “gets it”.
C wasn’t feeling great in the afternoon so we all just chilled around the house and made sure he got a good nap. Somehow both of them slept at the same time so I was able to finish a cup of tea while it was still hot! Unheard of!
My parents came round to drop something off. It has felt a bit strained with them recently. Today felt a little easier but I’m still finding it difficult to accept that my feelings have been completely ignored. I’m having to just bite my tongue and move on at the moment. Maybe it’s for the best but I once again feel like I’m having to accommodate my mums emotions when actually I’m not really ready to be in their company. It is feeling easier each time though so I suppose that is a positive.
I’m very much looking forward to my husband being around this weekend and sharing the parenting. We can hopefully have some nice family times together.
