As bean2 is due anytime in the next few weeks, I have really been trying to relish any time away from bean1, guilt-free, before having 2 children (argh!!) becomes a reality. Today, bean1 is spending the day with my husband's family (but not the husband as he has been on holiday in the Caribbean all week!).
Normally, on a day off I might do some gardening, go for a bike ride or catch up with friends. However, being heavily pregnant means I can laze at home in pjs and eat biscuits so I haven't done much at all.
Here are some of my favourite things about being child-free for the day:
- going to the loo without having to tell someone/be followed and watched
- eating biscuits on the sofa, rather than stuffing them in my face with my head in a cupboard so bean1 doesn't see
- playing on my phone without someone demanding to look at "pic pics"
- doing a jigsaw and being able to drop pieces on the floor without panicking that they might get swallowed
- popping to the postbox in less than a minute (so much easier without the hassle of fighting a toddler into shoes, coat and out of the door, then back in without rearranging all the pebbles on the driveway)
- staying in bed til 8am. It could've been longer but my pregnancy bladder and stomach forced me out of bed!
Despite all this, I'm really looking forward to getting both child and husband back tomorrow. Breakfast was very lonely, I miss the giggles and tunnel-building fun, and the house is just too tidy!!
