So yesterday was a mostly good day. My wife got to leave the hospital for 6 hours, so we (family) spent a lot of good time together. I mean, we do it each day that we visit but it's so much more better being away from the hospital. Today they checked the growth rate of the baby and he's still behind. However, the tech said the baby is growing symmetrically, which means that his body is growing proportionally. That's better than asymmetrically, which would indicate potential medical and cognitive issues after birth. It still sucks that he's behind in growth, but it appears that Smurf 3 would be a smaller person regardless. When I say smaller, I mean smaller than us. I'm only 5'11", my wife 5'9". Both kids are pretty tall for their age, especially when I compare them to other kids their age.
Work is still a pain and I would really like to have some stability right now. I like the fact that I can be flexible with it, but because I have limited time during the day because of the kids I spend most of the night playing catch up. I think right now my average time to go to sleep is about 3 a.m., and I wake up between 7 and 8 a.m.
So i'm pretty mopey right now, but I try to keep things in perspective. I follow a blog of a guy named Rob (lostandtired.com), and he is in a much more difficult
situation than I am. I feel I have no place to bitch and moan about
laundry, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of things because things are
still relatively good for me and the Smurfs.
