Baby out with daddy - what should I do?

4.5 minth old is out with daddy for the day, mostly so they can bond a bit. He's taking him to visit family

I'm in tears! He will literally be back this evening but I'm a mess. Miss him so much.
It's silly - I know

What should I do to take my mind off it? I've already cleaned the house and done all the washing.

I need ideas for distractions :(

Text your friend and go for lunch
Order deliveroo and watch some trashy tv in bed with a takeout for lunch?
Have a bath and paint your toe nails?
Nap on the sofa and make a reel of your pics and videos of baby so far?
Look for a family Christmas activity?
Start some online browsing for a present for your partner for Christmas?
Make dinner for this evening?

Do something for yourself
You really deserve it

I would probably sleep have a bath and eat in bed xx

Thank you hun. It's weird the first things I thought of doing were stuff around the house - tidying etc. Didn't even cross my mind to actually take a bit of time for myself.

A nice takeaway, some trash tv and perhaps a bubble bath later sounds absolute bliss x
