Leave It

I’m into my second week of Maternity Leave and I’m struggling!

Struggling because I feel like I’ve absolutely ballooned in the past couple of days, and things like getting up out of bed, standing up from the sofa, or eating from a lap-plate, are becoming super awkward!

And struggling because I’m trying to find things to occupy my time! The days actually seem to be going quite quickly in and of themselves, but the weeks are dragging!

I’ve washed all of Spud’s clothes, blankets, and bedding, and washed and prepped all of the nappies (we’re aiming to use reusables for the most part). The crib is all set up and ready to go, and I’ve organised everything into the spaces that I can make for them given the restrictions of our flat.

How did everyone else occupy their maternity leave?
