So I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant and I have an 18 month old daughter. The last month or so I just feel like I'm failing both of them, I try and have busy days outs to keep my daughter entertained and those days leave me knackered and aching, especially in the current heat and then we also have some days at home and I find by the afternoon I've put the TV to Peppa or Winnie the Pooh because I need an hour to sit and rest......as I get bigger I'm finding it more and more restrictive plus when my toddler has a tantrum and throws herself about I worry about baby being kicked and causing problems 🤦♀️
Today we went to a farm for literally 2 hours, which was lots of climbing hills and pushing a buggy on stones all the time. We had some lunch there and then my daughter played on the play areas they had, annoyingly they had sand as their bases so she was covered, when it came to cleaning her she had a strop and screamed bloody murder all the way back to the car- stopped when we got back to the car, i hadn't realised she had filled the buggy with sand and also got it all in her bag, after sorting that out, I just sat in the car and cried 🤦♀️
This heat is so draining, theres no air whatsoever today, super humid and I feel like I should be able to manage just fine......instead I felt like a failure for considering asking for a spare person on days out 🤦♀️😫
Sorry I just needed to rant as everyone I know is busy 🤣
