Dave was out of town in Minneapolis for two days on a business trip this week. I almost lost my mind. I never knew how much I looked forward to lunchtime when he comes home (so I can hand him the baby) or 5:30-7:00 when he is off (so I can hand him the baby).
Dave's parents came and kindly spent a few hours both days holding the Bub so I could nap, do laundry, and go to the grocery store without her losing her mind with the screaming. It's nice to have grandparents nearby. I grew up without mine in the same state and this is much better. Additionally, they brought me a piece of pie, roses from their garden, some fresh peaches, and their willing baby-holding arms. Could there be anyone or anything more generous and lovely to see show up at your door as you shuffle about in sleep-deprived, unbrushed, pajama-clad, and mascara-streaked delirium? Certainly not, I attest.
Dave is home now. Praise be to the heavens.
I agree it is so nice to have Grandparents near by!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have them closer!! I am sorry it has been rough. I remember it being so hard with Andrea!! I know it doesn't seem possible, but it will get better. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE having grandparents close too! They are fantastic at anticipating needs! But husbands are really the best and there is no substitute.
ReplyDeleteI can totally imagine you the way you described yourself - sounds like the same as our old roomie days! hehe...I'm glad you have some help, the sleep deprivation must be killer!
