Woe is me...

I don't want to say it, but oh well, I will, WOE IS ME. Ok, so it's not that bad, it could be worse. I could be confined to my bed, only to get up to pee and shower. Man, I feel for those poor women. The problem I'm having is finding how I fit into all of this. I feel so helpless because my poor hubby is doing everything. He cleans, cooks, cares for the girls, all while I sit. I'm not used to this and it's a lot harder than you would think. Especially since I am the one who usually does everything. Now I'm scrambling to find people to come sit with the girls everyday, I need a maid and who the heck is going to grocery shop for us? Can we say Simon Delivers? What's worse, is I can't even shop for cute little baby boy clothes. How sad :( Anyway, I promise I won't be like this for the rest of the 7 weeks. Or, at least I'll try :)

I do owe a huge thanks to all of you who have sent supportive emails and messages. I truly appreciate all the kind words and encouragement. I really enjoy the stories of your own experiences, it really puts things into perspective for me.

It totally sucks, but whats the alternative? A 1 lb baby? No...you take it easy and take all the help you can get, even when its hard to give up that control. I couldn't do it well either, but we want everyone healthy!!
Call anytime...I am 10 minutes away and the grocery store is on the way to your house (so is DQ!)

Hey--do you want any help on Friday? I took the day off and all I have is a hair appointment at 1pm. I could come in the AM and do some chores/shopping/cooking/painting and/or looking after the girls for a bit. Don't know if they would listen to me. Let me know.

Hang in there! Try to stay positive. I am sure it's hard, but just remember, it's for a great cause!
