Brady will head back to work tomorrow after a couple of days off where he’s really dug in with the kids to make it as easy for me as possible. I am SO thankful for my husband and the amount that he’s willing to do around here and at work. There isn’t a shred of “raising the kids is my wifes job” in him. I love co-parenting with him.
However, now that he’s heading back to work, he is sick again. And while I woke up feeling quite a bit better this morning, I was fading FAST by lunch. I tried to eat something energizing and do what I had to do, but I was feeling mightily weighed down. I went to lay down, for the sake of my belly needing to NOT crush my insides for a few minutes, and I fell asleep! For a decently long time! Whoops. What’ll I do without an afternoon nap tomorrow?? I’ve been SO blessed to be able to nap these last few days, because let me tell you, never before have I ever napped in the day! Not when I’ve just had a baby, not in the first trimester fatigue, not when I’m super duper sick, not when I was a teen and would pull all nighters with friends. I. Don’t. Nap. But these days, I can barely make it to noon. And now, my husband who is bypassing his own illness to help me is going back to his job, and here I am, whining about potentially not being able to nap??? Clearly not me being fair. I know this. I’ve just never felt so bent out of shape before! Such a weird time. I hope we all get better, and FAST! Thank goodness, there is only one day to think about and then we have another weekend to hopefully spend recuperating. One day, we’ll be humans again, but please remember to like us at least a little bit in our zombie state!
Awwww. I do hope you can coincide your nap with kid naps tomorrow! Now that your house is healthy again, I’m still no use to you….I’m heading out for an Alberta weekend with my sister til Sunday night. If Sweetcheeks decides to make an early appearance, phone Reid. He’s studying so is at home mostly. I’m sure the kids would get used to him pretty quick if they HAD to! He might not do nappies, but he’d sure hold the fort (and feed them whatever they wanted!!) til Grampa could get there or something. I hope you have an incredible sleep tonight….ALL of you!
Oh I agree with you, I think the kids would warm up probably sooner than we’d all expect 😉 Dekker might order him around a bit, lol, but then he’d know his place! Hahaha! Thank you for being my emergency contact in these weeks, even if doesn’t end up being YOU but someone in your family. We really appreciate having you nearby!! Love you!
