My wee boy wakes early and my partner works nights so i can't really go in about the room to get ready with wee one etc so I wait till his morning nap but literally spending nearly 3 hours in the house trying to entertain him when I'm tired myself and can barely get ...

I'll try and make this short. All pregnancy we told everyone my husband and I would do a mini quarantine since we were giving birth close to flu season. After a couple months we told everyone to come over for the last time because we were gonna stop having visitors for a little bit. His mom and sister drive ov...
