Yay for today. My wife got to escape from the hospital for six hours today. The docs are thinking she can make it to 34-36 weeks (she's 31 and 2 days right now), which will be better for the baby. He's still severely growth restricted, so we're hoping that by the time he reaches 34 weeks he could be at least 3 pounds. But it was nice to have her around and get to relax, even though both Smurfs were tired and a little whiny. Could have been they were thrown off by their mom being home, or the fact that they didn't get to sleep until 12:30 a.m. and woke up around 9 this morning. So they were sleepy-cranky today instead of just kid-cranky.
As for me, my wife keeps saying that i've lost weight. I don't think my gut has gotten any smaller but she wants me to weigh myself soon to check. I guess because i'm having to move around more and I'm eating less. I've not been extremely hungry for most things and I'm trying to cut a lot of garbage foods out of my system. Yesterday was the first time in three weeks i've had soda, and it didn't taste right to me. I'm mainly drinking water and some juice (orange apple, blended, etc.) while eating much smaller meals. Hell, Smurf 1 eats more food than I do at lunch and dinner. I would definitely like to have time to exercise, but the best I do is running around with the Smurfs. Yesterday, mowing the grass was the most i've sweated in a long time (I could wring the sweat out of my shirt) and it felt really good to just be dirty like that.
While outside I had the kids help me dig a hole to bury part of their swing. Because they are much heavier than when we first purchased the swing, it tends to tip a lot. So i've got some gear to stake the back part into the ground, and we were able to do one hole yesterday. I'm hoping on Monday to do the other one so that I don't have to worry about them tipping the whole thing over while swinging.
I did get some cleaning done today, which was helpful to me to see that I can take care \of the house. Just gotta do the shopping tomorrow and keep the kids fed and entertained. Think I'm going to start them riding their bikes again and doing a book time.
So glad you got to spend some time with your wife today! It is surprising how much that time can recharge your batteries. When my husband travels for weeks at a time, I get pretty frazzled, but the minute I hear the garage door opening to let me know he's home, I instantly feel my shoulders begin to relax. Hope you felt the same way today.
