I'm anxiously awaiting Daniel's return from a conference today. I've not only had to do all of the stuff I normally do everyday this week plus work, but all of the stuff he normally does too. He always gets up at night with the kids (unless they are nursing, but even then really), he always puts them to bed, he always takes J to preschool, puts out the trash, closes up the house, and does at least a low quality job of cleaning up after dinner. My back is killing me because no one has rubbed it in 3 days (I know, I'm spoiled). My back and pregnancy are mortal enemies. Plus, falling asleep at night just isn't the same without his habit of leaving his lamp on, and constantly wiggling his giant toes. It's more difficult believe it or not. I have not missed the part where I have to wake up at midnight and take his glasses off, and turn off the TV though. That happens often.
The only advantage to him being gone is that I've been able to organize our time in the manner that best suits me. We ate dinner earlier, got chores done earlier, I packed lunches at night, and there were far less dishes and laundry without another adult around. Those are just about the only benefits.
On another note, I have to go to the Dr again today. It's getting really old. I feel like I'm there constantly and know I will be switching to EVERY week sometime in the next couple of weeks. Sigh. It's kind of annoying since I really don't have very exciting pregnancies. I'm in and out the door in 2 minutes, but it takes a chunk of the day to get down there and back, plus waiting room time.
Sounds like Miss L is waking up. And I'm off...

I was there today too. I was thinking the same thing. These every 2 week appointments are silly. I sit there for 30 minutes with Lily, who sucks on Lollipops, only to have a 2 minute appointment. I just feel like saying, "I'll call if I need anything" but wouldn't risk it.
