do you ever struggle to fill the days?
Im really lucky that my oh is home from work at lunchtime each day, ive got 2 mummy friends who are on Maternity leave and 1 who works part time, my mum works in a school so finishes at 3 and is off all summer and i see the mil once a week plus my girlfriends at weekends but i still find it hard to fill the days.
I think, because Max sometimes wakes really early and never naps longer than 20minutes, the day can be long and i often find myself stuck for something to do. I plan something everyday but if i meet someone, it's for a couple of hours and then there's the other 10 hours to fill! Ive just never had so much free time, im used to working and then cramming everything in at the weekend-the slower pace has been a shock to the system and Max is so active, he never sits still!!x

But I've been so tired recently I've not been bothered about doing much! Today Riley woke at 6am then we both went back to bed at about 7am till 9am. He had another nap at lunch but was tired again at about 2pm so we both went back to bed and slept till 4pm! I even fell asleep last night when me and oh were watching a film so we went to bed fairly early so I don't know why I've been so tired today, think all of his crying just tires me out! x
If we're not doing anything it will be because amelia is over tired and needs a days rest, so we have a snooze together in the afternoons!!
I hate rainy days, and if we have a few days of it, I do get cabin fever but more because amelia hates being home all the time, I think she finds me boring after a while!!
I must say, I found not working difficult to start with but I'm loving my maternity leave now, especially as amelia is starting to interact more and her personality is really starting to develop.
I think i put too much pressure on myself to have stuff to do every day, i love sitting and chilling but Max doesn't-he loves to be out and about but it's hard to find places to be out and about to xx
