Setbacks

Yesterday I took care of our son myself for the first time in weeks as we didn't have anyone available. As a result of being up so much, I was cramping badly all day & night. By evening I couldn't stand up without doubling over in pain. I feel like I was set back three weeks. There's definately a connection.

My father is here helping us through most of the week but I still have one day where I'll need to watch our son alone... unless I can make other arrangements. Frankly though, we're running out of options. My father ill hopefully be offered a position soon & will not be available after that. I'll just have to deal with it & rest in the evenings. We have one or two possibilites for ocassional help but I still have to heck those out.

In other news, we were thinking of taking our son to the Doodlebops live concert next month for his birthday instead of a party but the only seats available are far right balcony which isn't good, especially for kids. I'm not up for planning a party with all these pregnancy issues. I just don't know what to plan for a special day for him.

God knows whenever I'll be able to clean this house again; I can't believe what a mess it is. My hubby is trying his best but is overwhelmed with multiple projects right now. There's not enough time in the day for him to work on his projects, spend time with our son, take care & help my son & I in the evenings & weekends, pick up toys, grocery shopping & take care of the house. Frankly we're both overwhelmed. I can't do much yet with our son & current situations, I have to do some things. I'm struggling to find a way to do & deal with that. These days, our house resembles a toy factory that broke dumping enough toys to cover every surface, floor or otherwise. Honestly it's amazing there's any space to walk at all since our son immediately empties his toy baskets onto the floor in one big heap. The stress is definately getting to us.
