It saddens me to say that we are going to do the three things that I have dreaded
1) Isabelle is now forward/world facing in the pram. I do not like this one little bit, I love to see her face and interact with her when we are out and about. She stares at me with her big eyes and watch her face light up when I talk to her. Now we cannot do that, she can ignore me when forward facing and I cannot see her, Isabelle being the independent lady that she is couldn’t care less and she is now far more interested in having a good look around. I may have to turn her back to parent facing. She isn’t really a clingy baby, but it would appear that I am a clingy mother. Even to the extent of still babywearing in a front carry, it does horrendous things to my back carrying a nearly 10 month old but I love sniffing her hair and kissing her head, I’m not sure how long I can keep that up for
2) We are going to be making the transition to move Isabelle into her own room, we should have done this a lot sooner but we love having her there with is. She has probably been ready for this for a long time but we haven’t. We have no fears of anything happening to her so why do we find it so hard to let her go?
3) This is probably the thing that we dread the most. We are going on our first night out since Isabelle was born so she will be staying at her aunts for the night. Since she was born we have never spent the night away from her, it will be a huge shock the the system. The night out will do us some good it’s just hard knowing that she will not be there
Am I just being a silly mummy?
![[AD] This year has been full of changes, we’ve homeschooled, we’ve worked from home (and still do) and as a result, we have spent more time in the house than we have out. It’s been no surprise that our monthly utility bills have increased over that period.
With our rising bills we wanted to see how easy it would be to reduce our bills and be more in control of our energy usage by switching to a smart home with one of the UKs leading smart home providers @HiveHomeUK. Combined with our Amazon Echo devices we have fully automated the lights in our home with Hive Dimmable Lights. They can be dimmed, set on timer, switched on/off via the app and respond to voice commands through Alexa.
You can find out more ways a smart home with Hive can benefit you in my blog post (link in bio)

at 6:31 pmI hope you were able to enjoy your first night out. We had our first night out a couple weeks ago, and though it was strange to be without our little one, we ended up having a great time.

at 1:25 pmOh wow, I also hated my 2 going forward facing! I had them rear facing as long as possible but the time came for a double stroller… They love it but I miss seeing them and talking to them.
I also hate them going in their own rooms, we just moved little miss into her own rom last week at 8 months old. I cried so much!
We are also having an evening out together in a few weeks, our first since having the kids but are having my sister sit here with them. I’m a terror for being apart from my kids.
Hope you had a lovely night 🙂
