This is my first baby and outside it was so hot so we stayed inside most of the day while our friends and family were playing games, grilling, drinking, hanging by the pool. I felt so lonely and craved my child free life back so much 😭
After 3 hours once the UV was low enough we tried to go out and have the baby try the pool too and he did great but by then I was so exhausted that we maybe stayed out for 30 minutes and then went home.
Every time there’s a day like this I can’t stop being so sad craving my life before kids and I know I’ll never have those care free fun days back

We had tons of fun but the walk back to the car was so hard. We almost had a heatstroke and were so tired. A kind lady stopped her car and gave us cold water bottles so that helped a lot. We watched the parade in the morning then went back out for fireworks at night!

In a yr or so you’ll be back to more outdoor fun chasing a toddler around with them having bubbles and chalk it’ll be different for sure but I promise holidays will become more fun again as they get a bit older .
