Anyone else hating the monotony of every day

I second getting out everyday! Even a trip to the shops is helpful, she gets to look around, I keep on top of all the household essentials and get some bargains sometimes 👏🏽👏🏽 and it just makes me feel as if I’ve done something for the day, instead of just being sat indoors all day.
I totally understand how you're feeling, I'm feeling similar at the moment tbh. In my opinion this is the hardest stage yet, my LO is super fussy at the moment so going out with him is more stressful, but equally I can't stay indoors with him because chasing a crawling baby around the house and trying to keep him entertained at home from 7am until 7pm is completely exhausting. Our nights are still awful and I think the tiredness has really peaked now 😴 There's also so much to try and fit in now with weaning etc. I do think it'll get easier but it's natural to feel flat on those really tough days. They won't be babies forever and I'm sure we'll miss this stage as they get older, but the reality of maternity leave is definitely something that no one can prepare you for!! I appreciate your honesty....we all love our babies but motherhood is HARD 💛
It's normal to have these feelings and more importantly good that you're getting it off your chest. I felt the same a little while back, but now I'm finding myself .... Slowly. I just take 5-10 minutes for myself during the day to do a quick abs challenge and I'm starting to take 10 minutes before bed to colour which is my new hobby as it's easy to pick up and put down! I know it's easy to say but even though getting out is a hassle it's so worth it once you're in a routine. I get the bag and pram ready the night before and then just set off after breakfast. I find that the easiest time of day for me and my two boys (8 months and 3 years!).
