This is a first instalment of a pre-motherhood and post-motherhood comic series....!
Today I am posting about my mornigs and outings....as my outings are so much different now! And here is a summary of just a few differences....
1. I used to have time to get prepared before
leaving. I used to have time to coordinate my bag with my shoes for heaven
sakes! That’s how much time I used to have... And I used to have a wardrobe
with clean clothes! With baby in my life it’s not uncommon to raid the laundry
in search of a relatively clean t-shirt... I mean what´s wrong with a little
spat in the shirt? The scarf will cover it (read more here).
2. Before
baby, leaving the house just meant grab keys, mobile, and that was it! Now I
have a huge checklist, all to do with baby related items... And not mentioning that baby
sometimes just needs a nappy change right before leaving. No matter what the
time of the day is....
But the toys, these are really important. Really, you
don´t want a bored baby in the bus... At least 3 favourite toys need to be in
hand... And may be extendable to your watch. And your mobile. And your scarf.
And of course, not forgetting your hands.
3. Oh how
simpler it used to be, walk to a bus stop. How you could use your time! Texting,
making calls, the possibilities were endless... You could just enjoy the
landscape. With baby, I am always doing something. Either clean his nose, or help
with the water cup. Or catch toys. At least 124 times on the way there. Or catch
the odd sock. Or the baby cup.
4. And then
you finally reached your destination. Our outings during the week generally end
up in baby’s nursery, and then I go to work. Before it was just work. Now work
time has a whole new meaning... Its also when I am just on my own. And not
needing to do anything baby related. Its relax time/work time...
But hey! I
have the cutest baby in my life! And that makes it all worth it!
How about
you, does your baby makes you pick up something 245 times on your walks?
How did you like the series idea? Let me know your thoughts, I would love to hear from you!
I am so happy that you enjoyed it! So I am guessing that my picking up things task will be ongoing then! LOL I am thinking about making this a weekly series. It’s not that I don’t have enough inspiration, just not the time to draw and write as a daily series ;). So make sure to pop by often! I would delighted to hear from you again! x
ReplyDeleteTotally relate to this, toddler wants me to hold and lug him and he's so heavy and leaving the house can take forever! #blowyourownbloghorn x
ReplyDeleteMine also needs me to hold him a lot! Particularly when I am doing something! Just to make things easier and quicker!x
DeleteHaha I love this! It's so true, love the little drawings too. It is so much different to how our mornings used to be! I honestly sometimes wonder what I did with my time before I had my girls!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I am happy that you enjoyed it! I almost forgot how my mornings were, so I had to write and draw those so I could remember it later in time ;) x
DeleteI love the pictures!
