It is now 21 August and I have just logged in (after finally remembering my password...its been that long!) and found this unpublished post. Think I was going to go back and edit it, but as its now 6 weeks later and I can't remember what happened yesterday, I think I will just publish it as is...
I went out last night for the first time since the baby was born (he is now 10 months old!). I did actually venture around to a friend's house with my partner for drinks when he was 4 months old, where everybody was very impressed that I was out and about despite having such a young baby. Little did they know that was to be my only trip out after dark for another 6 months!
But last night was proper...I went for a curry with a friend (who also has a toddler and a 2.5 month old baby!!) and my partner babysat...and it was great...great to be able to have an uninterrupted conversation...great to be able to really find out what is going on in her life...great to be able to relax without checking on two children every 30 seconds...great to be able to wear the beautiful leather jacket that I had for Christmas and have only worn once.
Was back home and tucked up in bed for 10.30 of course. These days I have to be prepared for the night ahead. Last night it was a 4.50am wake-up by my toddler shouting that he needed a tissue for his snotty nose. Dutifully, I got up, went into his room and wiped his nose, despite having put a tissue under his pillow specifically for this purpose. He seems to think that I sit up all night ready to tend his every whim. The night before it was a 12.15am wee...the night before that 11.30pm and last week a couple of 2.30am 1-2 hour screaming sessions.
