After having a blog for over 4yrs, I have finally decided to start posting..haha. I've wanted to start for sometime, but it always seemed like a waste or I'd find myself wondering how on earth I would ever find enough time in a day to blog about my wonderful, crazy, life? Well, after being placed on bed rest until our little guy is born in November; here I sit with not much to do for the next 2.5 months. Apparently, God thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start utilizing my 4yr old blog!
As for the rest of my life. I guess you could say with mom being off the radar for awhile, things have been a little off balance. The first week was the toughest. Well, I say tough for me because I spent an entire 7 days in a hospital room 2 hrs away from my family. I could do nothing but sit or lay in bed, watch TV, eat, read, and play on my Ipad. It was torture I tell you! No really, it was not fun at all. I missed my family and just being a wife and mom.
My husband on the other hand is anything short of "AMAZING!" I'm honestly not even sure I can put into words just how awesome he has been the past 3 weeks! For those of you who know my husband, know he helps out and does so much more then the average man. However, this new bump in the road has convinced me I just might be married to "perfection" (hehe). From 6a to 10p my husband does not stop. The house is entirely in his hands. Yes, that means laundry, dishes, mopping, sweeping, getting the kids ready and off to school, packing lunches, doing hair, brushing teeth, changing diapers, potty training, making all meals, soccer practice, soccer games, and no it does not stop there. He still works, yes a full time job and I can honestly say, I do not know how the HECK he does it and is never grumpy and never complains. Fortunately, his current job allows him a lot of flexibility and all his co-workers have been nothing but helpful and understanding, what a blessing! I know this all seems like nothing shy of a brag post and thats entirely what it is meant to be. I want my wonderful husband to know just how much he is appreciated in every way and what an incredible father and companion he is.
It's trials and times like these we hold on to our faith and try to remind ourselves of that common saying, "God only gives you what you can handle." Shane and I will pull through this, we are strong and have amazing support from our family and close friends. After all, we are taking it "One Day at a Time."
