Another week...

Well last week went a little better than I thought it would. My mom had her issues cooking for the us when she's used to either going out, take out, or my dad fixing dinner. We worked it all out though and she left on Saturday afternoon but she'll be back this weekend for 2 weeks. In the meantime, my dad is here until the weekend and today is his first full day with the kiddos. So far so good, and all that i do is bark a few directions from my perch on the couch. I still feel a bit miserable that I cant take care of the house and the kids on my own and the tension is def wearing on my relationship with Bill. He is very short with me and I know he doesnt mean anything by it but I can tell he's ready to be done with this pregnancy. Well at least the bed rest part of it anyway. I understand how he feels completely and just try and bite my lip when he snaps. I'm not doing a very good job at the lip-biting part but i'm trying. Another thing i've been working on this past week is letting go of control. Its ok if something isnt done the way id like it to be done and I need to accept that. Tomorrow is the start of week 29 which means just 6 more weeks of bedrest, it seems like forever but we'll make it through. I'm thinking once I get to 33 or 34 weeks I can go back to modified bed rest and get back to doing some things for myself like dishes and cooking dinner and not feeling guilty for standing up to take a shower. Doctor told me the progesterone treatments can end when I get to 35 weeks. I had a great visit from a bunch of ladies this passed thur...they brought over tons of food and the kids all ran around and played. It really broke up the week and I appreciated the company! Thank God for friends and family. There is no way we could have done what we've done without everyone.
