We’ve been out together before but usually just to hop in the car to visit family and this was the first time I had to lug them around for any length of time. Thank goodness for the stretchy sling! With no double pram, it did the job just fine 👍🏼
We made it to four different shops with no meltdowns (from any of the three of us 😂).
However, where I did have a meltdown was while we were getting ready to leave the house… And I have no clue why I stressed myself out so much. There was no timescale, no particular place to be, it was meant to be a casual trip to Inverurie and yet I rushed to get in the car. We park our car over the road so I have to put one baby in the car and run back for the other, the whole time worrying the one in the car might be crying or people on the street might be judging for no reason 🤷🏽♀️ In truth I bet no one is looking and if worst comes to worst and one of my boys does start to cry, I’ll be back to him in less than a minute. I think maybe I was worried coz I hadn’t left straight after Leo’s last feed so I was worried he would get hungry while I was out… but I had a bottle with me so what’s the big deal?
As mamas we overthink EVERYTHING and very often it leads to nothing and steals the joy from so many things. I wish I could stop, I don’t think I can though. So for now I’ll leave this here for other mamas to see so you know you aren’t alone, I’m here with you!
