It wasn't so long ago that...

It wasn't so long ago that Saturdays meant sleeping in and going to brunch. Now it means changing diapers and calling posion control because the dog age the baby's gas medication.

Oh the days, DH and I would be buzzed with a sunburn by now.. Now I'm breastfeeding and he's washing the car.

Lol, we went to bed at 8pm last night. Remember the fridays when things were just getting STARTED at 8 pm...

littlesocks

Ah yes. I'd be relaxing and my DH would be getting back from a morning of golf. Now I'm breastfeeding and my DH is on his way back from a morning of golf ... Oh wait, I guess some things haven't changed :-w

And this is why going from 0-1 was way harder for us than 1-2.

Trgree1712

Yeah I would have probably been drinking by now too .

We'd spend our Saturdays stoned in the park with a delicious picnic and our Sundays on a cigar stroll.

ETA: after a 10 mile run Saturday morning and a 14+ mile run on Sunday.

Sigh, DH and I called the weekend "naked days". We used to spend the whole weekend in bed together sometimes, leaving only for food and drinks. I miss those days. I also miss going dancing at night. I love my babies, but those were some good times.

My girlfriend tex me a picture of her last night at 10pm before she went to an 80s theme party.. I was getting ready for bed, she was just heading out! BUT I was up at 2am like she was, accept I was breastfeeding an she was eating cheesy fries drunk.

Day drinking was basically my only hobby. Guess it's time to learn some crafts and shit.

I'd be rock climbing. Now I'm in a dark room breastfeeding. I'll get back to it eventually. This little guy is my last and I shed tears about that fact yesterday. I'm going to enjoy every awkward/uncomfortable/frustrating moment this time, because this is it.

It does get better! Last year at this time, I had 3 kids but they were 10, 8 and 5. They would be doing their thing, I could sleep in and be lazy all morning. This morning, I had a DH who brought the baby in our bed at 6am and at 7, she decided to shit all over the bed and us...then gave us a look that clearly said, good morning...bitches.

Sighhh... Saturday mornings, DH and I would sleep in and get brunch at our favorite place. I also miss the dinners when we'd get yummy cheese and crusty bread from Whole Foods and just picnic in the living room while drinking wine and cuddling over a Redbox rental.

Now I scarf down dinner and breakfast as fast as I can between breastfeeding, and spend any free time while LO sleeps cleaning my house, doing laundry, or washing my pumping parts. All worth it, though :-)

Saturdays meant bowling drunk with our friends or going hiking. Not to mention sleeping in way late and taking many naps throughout the weekend. Now I ask, what is a nap? What is free time? I love my DS, but I miss having time to myself and not having to think/worry about anyone else.

Meh this time last year we just went out to eat too often and I would have two drinks at night instead of one. I wasn't very exciting prebaby.

scarles

This whole post makes me miss cocktails we used to spend weekends in the french quarter bar hopping. Good times.

This time last year we would've slept until at least 10, ate breakfast at our favorite diner, day drink all afternoon on our deck and then have our friends over for a fire at night....today I was up at 6am and walked around in circles for hours in my living room trying to calm down a very cranky boy...and now it's 6pm and I'm ready for it to be bedtime....

PoppySeedWindsor

I think we may have all had drinking problems before babies came...

Emily041285

We still go to the same diner every weekend and still sit at the counter. DD is quiet popular and the little old ladies love to see her.

But we were pretty boring before, now we are boring and tired.

Elf2718

Wknds I'd either be working, having bonfires with booze, hiking with my fur baby and SO, or just chilling. Now I'm up at 2a and 5a...and again at 730a for feedings/diaper changes. Huge adjustment.

chichi589

Time hop told me last year today I was at an Irish bar, 3 years ago a wine your, 4 years ago I was patio hopping for my 21st birthday, and 7 years ago today was senior prom. I have a love hate relationship with time hop!

LizChad09

Weekends meant either working or hanging out at our pool with good drinks and good friends. Happy about the not working part, miss hanging out at the pool and with friends. LO gets her last cast off on Weds, then we will be able to enjoy the FL life that we love.

I miss it when my whole Sat and Sun were about eating, drinking and working out. I was so naive then. I also miss my husband sometimes even though I see him every day. Right now I just feel like we are just roommates passing in the night as we hand off baby or engage our other two. Looking forward to a date night with LO gets on some sort of schedule. All that being said, love being a mom! Best job ever.
