Though, on a lighter note, I will cop to being deliriously happy when my pregnancy coincided with the two months before we let our cat go outside, which necessitated a kitty littler box, which, as a pregnant woman, is off limits. Yup, happily shirked the responsibilities. I'm your gal for shallow silver linings. ;) Helplessness, or at least a state of having to ask for help, can be excruciating.

Egad! I'd take it though for the chance at a happy ending. Six months of pelvic rest??? Egad! I’d take it though for the chance at a happy ending.

And if you can't find yours, you can borrow mine. :) I am having names troubles again. JD is rudely dismissing one name I really like, and his suggestions are not helpful. Many restful months to you. Dave? Not so much, but that's ok, right? embrace your inner sloth. And if you can’t find yours, you can borrow mine. :)

He's probably just fine, but having to play out al the possibilities of not fine in your head is rather damning. I wish you could scoop up your little O. Perhaps he'll learn to clamber up and snuggle with you, your laptop and your trashy novels. In warmer weather, maybe Dave can skip bathtime and just house Oscar down in the yard and pull a diaper and a T-shirt on him before bed. Spring makes everything a little better. poor you, poor Dave – though I agree it’s more what you imagine it to be than what is happening with him that really sucks.

I am sure he'll get everything done, and he'll be happy to do it. Since Izzy was born, my husband has taken over the laundry duties. And I am not complaining. Dave sounds like a great guy.
