I love my son. I really, truly, kiss him from head-to-toe, dote on his every need, race home from work in excitement, cuddle, play, giggle with, sniff his head for comfort love my son. BUT (you knew there was a 'but' coming right?) lately he is driving me crazy! I'm tired. Ridiculously tired. I have no idea why but I can barely lift my head off the pillow each day. And being a full time mummy to an 8 month old baby is not easy when you're literally exhausted 24/7.
I've been taking iron tablets (I don't eat much meat so I often get anaemic), having early nights, trying to eat better, keeping on top of my medication, drinking more water.. Nothing helps!
Now, I cannot bear to be away from Cooper for more than a few hours a day so my "life would be perfect if.." dream is that I could be rich, and have a nanny. I would still be home with my baby all day but when I was tired, id just leave the nanny to it and go to bed. Perfect right?! Now, who wants to be my nanny for free...?
I dream of this se wonderful free nanny... She would get up at the ass crack of dawn with Ollie and change his nappies. Soooo nice!
ReplyDeleteExactly! Whilst mummy has a sleep in and then eats breakfast in bed whilst reading the news. I used to take that freedom for granted,
DeleteWe are thinking of hiring a nanny for a few hours/ week (like, 8-10) just so I can get shit done. But in our case, it would be a nanny-share with some friends of ours. And I'm at SAHM too; just feeling ragged chasing after my 10-month old!
