This past week has been tough on everyone. My in laws have been here a week now, and at first Matthew loved having them (he still does), but I can see that he has changed this past few days. When I'm home, he tries to push his Nana away and if he sees Nana doing something I normally do (like peeling his apples), he says "no!!" 

I dropped him off at preschool today and for the first time, he grabbed on to my shirt and wouldn't let me go. I stayed for about 15 minutes and he just absolutely refused to let me go.  It was tougher than his first day there ever. He is insecure as his routine has not been the same this past week. His nap times and bed times are the same, but the changes are getting to him. Poor little guy.

My husband is still in pain and has turned out to be a grouchy patient. His narcotics dull the pain, but doesn't take it away completely. I am told that this is the case with anything that has to do with the bones. His mom is the one doing most of the caring for him, but I still check on him. And on those occassion, I see his grouchiness and being 7 months pregnant.. it's not easy to shrug it off. So yesterday, we finally had come head to head. It's the first time his mom has ever seen us this way, but thank heavens she understands. Both she and my husband's father left for an hour to let us work things out... and we did.

It's been tough!!! If not for the in-laws, we'd be in a whole different situation right now. I may be in a hotel somewhere with Matthew and left my husband to care for himself. Well, maybe not... we're not like that...but our house sure wouldn't be a fun place to be in!
