The title says it all... I don't know what I would have done without my mom after I delivered. She found subs for work and Seminary, left her husband up in Ashburn and took an entire week out of her life to devote to taking care of me and my family after I had Cole.
It was amazing! I got to sleep in, I didn't wash any dishes or cook any meals. She played with Jude and endured hours upon hours of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so I could nap during the day and made sure everyone was fed and happy. I think my recovery was fairly quick, thanks entirely to my mom and her help.
Bathtime with Grandma. It was a special treat for the boys because Grandma made sure to put in extra bubbles. :)
Cole liked to hang out and listen to the boys splashing in the water. He's spending more time awake which is a lot of fun.
Lance showing off his reading and spelling skills.
Jude doing one of his favorite things and helping Grandma wash the dishes. I think not washing the dishes was one of my favorite things about that week, second only to getting some extra sleep in the mornings.
I didn't get a picture of it, but the Monday after I delivered I had to walk Rockne, the black lab we walk every week, because George was working. Mom came along and pushed Jude in the stroller while I packed Cole in a carrier. It was fun to walk with my mom and it was great I had the extra help!
Thank you, Mom, for taking such good care of us. It meant so much that you took time out of your busy life to care for me and my family. I don't know what I would have done without you!
