To be bored out of my mind!

I know I probably ABU but I can’t help but feel so bored!. I really don’t do well being cooped up in the house and after finally going out today I’m itching to go back out again!. DH is fast asleep beside me, DS1,2 and 3 are all asleep and 3 day old DS is also fast asleep. I’m waiting very impatiently for him to wake up for his feed. I know I should be shattered and sleeping when everyone else is asleep but I just can’t get to sleep. We have family coming over on the weekend to see the baby and I’m so excited because we’ll be getting out the house. The first day home with DS all I wanted to do was cry and shut myself off from the rest of the world but now I just want to get out. All the threads I’m on aren’t active and I’ve found myself on street view walking around my village!. Can anyone help talk some sense into me!.

I have only left the house to take my daughter to my mums once in the last four days. I share your pain. My kids are all older but leaving the house apart from the Saturday food shop during the holidays can be a nightmare so happens less often than it could. Ready to throttle someone right now...

I feel the exact same! My eldest 3 are all 4 and under so they’re going crazy being cooped up in the house and it was such a nice relief getting them out today. Honestly considering a walk around the village with DS4 when he wakes up for his feed!

I honestly didn't mind so much when they were young butt they are now 18' 13,13 and 11 so the feeling of being a slave comes more to mind.

If you gave birth 3 days ago I can only assume you are still riding on a blissful wave of hormones!
Hate to say it but I think it’s all going to hit you full force in the face some time soon!
Try to enjoy it while you can.
Big congrats on your new baby!

Congratulations on your lovely squishy newborn op! 😍 how lovely! Cabin fever is the worst though....is there anywhere you can get up and out to in the morning? Pack some fruit and brioches and have a picnic breakfast?!

Ps....I still wait up for my youngest to wake and she's 2! 🙈

Thank you all. We live near the beach and went earlier today so not sure if it’s too much to go again, but I’m sure the kids will love it. Might sort out a picnic and pack their clothes and swimming trunks now to give me something to do!.
