On Parenthood

I love this graph.  The post that accompanies it (on the topic of parenthood) is pretty damn good too.

Jon's been doing really well - recovering a little bit more every day.  He's still hobbling around like an old man, and groans whenever he coughs or laughs, but he's definitely on the mend.

I, on the other hand, have barely been hanging on.  I've been in "survival mode" as my PT puts it, this past week.  Work is extremely busy, and waiting on my husband has been a tiny bit draining.  But, the worst of it all was Callum decided to start teething.  Literally, TO. THE. DAY. that Jon was cut open (and lo and behold couldn't pick up the kids anymore).

Callum has had his last four teeth (the canines) missing for a very long time - I don't remember how long but it's probably been at least 6 months, if not longer.  So late last week, those remaining four teeth decided to come in.  All at once.  Poor guy is in uncomfortable pain, crying out without any warning at all, wanting to be held at all hours of the day and night.  And, I've got no one to help me juggle it all.

So yeah, love these little boogers to the point that I wouldn't hesitate to throw myself or Jon under a bus to save one of them, but I'd say this last week has definitely been one of the bigger pains in my asses.  :)

Loganism of the day

I have a tummy-steak.

Just add sideburns after naptime and voila!

Daddy is all better now!

I forgot to post this earlier in the week but it's a fun pic. Jon had hernia surgery Thursday morning, and this was him, still stoned as hell, just after he woke up. ;-)

I'm only a couple of days in and already exasperated with the now one-two-THREE kids I'm taking care of. It's like they're all in sync and start whining and yelling and demanding at the EXACT. SAME. TIME. Oy.

:D

That said, Jon is actually doing really well. He's been walking and doing laps around the house to keep his movement up and helps me where he can. He's still super sore but I'm sure that'll get better soon. I'm just glad it's done and now we can get on with our lives!

Best Buds

Both boys have enjoyed having Amelia (and Trent) visiting this weekend. Eric actually snapped this shot and I love both of their expressions so much!

This morning, I had both boys in my bed with me watching some TV while Jon was at the dog park with Grover. When Amelia came put of their room, Logan immediately called out, "Amelia, we're in here. Do you want to watch some TV? Come up in the bed with us!"

(Poor guy assumes she always wants to hang out with him). ;-)

Just hanging out on top of a frog, a usual Saturday for us.  ;-)

Bath time, books and then bed. :D
