Maternity leave reality

[Mistyautumn]

Just realised that pre baby may leave is not what it was sold as!!!! Today I have done 3 loads of washing and I am now sitting in Kwik-fit having a new set of tyres on my car.

Soon I will manage the coffees out and walks that I was hoping for!!!

Mat leave*

A week ago I painted the nursery.. today I am waiting to be induced. I obviously missed the memo about leisurely walks and gentle nesting whilst I was up a stepladder! The end is in sight though!

I've had no time to knit or read. The weather has been amazing. Sadly I have not been at the beach I've been painting and cleaning.

The weather has been lovely and I have been out in it and then overheated and retreated into the cooler house to escape :-( xx

I've been shunning all this lovely sun! I get too hot there's no point sitting in it. Everything in my house decided to break I. The last 2 weeks so I've been ordering new shelving units and fridge freezers etc! Glad I've been around to sort it all out.

I've done everything in terms of preparation and am trying to find things to do to occupy me.
That being said, ds is only 3 so he takes up a fair amount of time when he's not at nursery.
I've been keeping out of the sun as it's just too hot and I can't cope.

Redling same here. Wish I could 'nest' but am fixing things that break etc' instead. :(

Yup... 3 loads of laundry and thousands of chores, all whilst I feel like I've been beaten up by a boxer.
