When @abilourich said #messy for today's #projectbabyandme my first thought was mess around the house. But to be fair, Ben and I try really hard to keep our home tidy because mess makes us anxious. Apart from too much unavoidable baby paraphernalia, there's not much mess and it'd be misleading to suggest otherwise even for Instagram's sake 😊 But what is messy is inside my head. Before the baby, we have all the time in the world to clear our thoughts, enjoy that coffee and sit in the sun looking great and carefree. After baby we still get to sit in the sun, but that drink might get cold before we drink it and we're not carefree. At least my head is filled with constant worry about Lizzie, is she ok, am I giving her the best start in life, you all know what I mean 😉 And when I'm not obsessing about dos and donts of raising a child, I'm thinking about the laundry and what everyone will have for dinner and if I remembered to shut the door. My brain constantly feels like a browser with one too many tabs open. But while it feels messy, thinking about a hundred and one thing at any given moment, I've also never been this productive before in my life. Keeping a baby clean, healthy and happy, maintaining a relationship and a home, sometimes also working, trying to keep in touch with friends while also not letting yourself go completely... mums are just not given enough credit for the amazing juggling they do. Saying this, we do need a bit of time for ourselves every once in a while, a browser needs its tabs closed too or it just might crash. So, I'm trying to do at least one thing every week that's just for me.
