This morning was my first solo breakfast date with Hayley. Unlike the other day – which I was so desperate to get away and therefore did't think about it too much – today I felt sad when I walked away from BB. Her little face was so happy when Hayley arrived, it hurt my heart just a teeny bit to leave her out of our fun.
But that soon dissipated. Coffee that little fingers didn't reach for. Poached eggs – which I didn't really feel like but ate by way of celebrating the fact that I could. (I've tried previously to eat eggs with BB on my lap... Disaster.) And of course spending time with my lovely mate.
Until the phone rang...
...BB screaming in the background. Crap. She's fallen. She's hurt herself. The cat has scratched her. She's sick.
No.
She missed us. Apparently as soon as we left she got sad. Kept looking around for us everywhere and then started crying and didn't stop. Poor PB was not feeling well so they ended up joining us. A grumpy snotface baby and husband that looked a little bit green and spent the remainder of the day between the loo and the bed.
Breakfast was still ace though. We snuck a solo hour in there. Girls can talk about a lot in that time.
A bit of a mixed bag then, eh! At least you got a little bit of bestie time together. And the eggs look awesome. Oh, so do your glasses. Love them! xx
ReplyDeleteHer eyes are so pretty!! Big baby blues.
ReplyDeleteWell Done!
ReplyDeleteIt gets easier to go out. We have monthly Girls' Nights of dinner and wine - no kids, no husbands. I can't wait till our littlest is big enough to be left because I miss them
hooray for girl time! i just spent five hours getting pedis, drinking wine and dishing with my bff the other night and it was so needed! poor BB, that's really sweet, and porr PB, that sucks. poached eggs sound really nice, on a bed of greens, the french way.. yum
ReplyDeleteEven though your morning didn't go perfectly according to plan, it still sounds and looks lovely. And, as you've been saying this week: expectations + baby = non existent! xx
ReplyDeleteI know it was meant to be a besties date, but it's kind of heartwarming to know you were missed right? Hope PB and BB are feeling better!
ReplyDeletebeautiful morning spent with you. I loved our conversations. xx
ReplyDeleteOne hour of uninterrupted conversation? GOLD!
ReplyDeleteThe only way is up! x
BB's biggest compliment to you! Although it doesn't really feel that way... This shows how much she loves her mamma.
ReplyDeleteone hour with good friends is better than most could ask for! glad you got some much deserved girl time. hope PB is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteAwww she wanted her mama! So sweet, glad you had a little break :).

oh seperation anxiety... yeah....
ReplyDeleteshe is so cute though
Dear Anna, my name is Sue and I have ten children and alas no time to have my own blog. I do love to remember what it was like when I had babies as my youngest are now twelve . After reading the comments I would like to make a suggestion that while it may be flattering in a teeny way that BB had separation anxiety it is not something you want to repeat too often, so a few helpful hints? 1. Get her used to you walking out of sight ie. the garden or the bath and increase the time away 2. Get her used to just PB being with her and gradually increase that time too, not too much attention or extra " fun" just normal activities ie he reads a newspaper and let her stimulate herself by herself sometimes 3. never at this age let her see a friend arrive and you both leave together. Sneak out next time. You need to get away,and so does BB need "me" time or it will only get harder and parenting is also about being smart because your little ones most definitely are. Good Luck and keep up the lovely job you are doing with BB . Your blog is always heartwarming. xx
ReplyDeleteOh I agree, sometimes it's good to do the old sneak out (as much as you want to goodbye) .... looks like nice eggs and coffee and just that hour does make all the difference. X
