I am planning to take the rest of the school year off after LO is born, but that means taking 4 weeks of unpaid time. It’s going to be financially hard for us, but we have decided to try to make it work. MH came home the other night with the idea that he get a 2nd part-time job from now until the baby is born so we can more easily afford my maternity leave. My heart about melted. ❤️ He does so much for me!
The meds aren’t working well for my heartburn and I find it uncomfortable to prop up with pillows because it makes my back hurt. I asked one time if DH would mind if we propped the head of the bed up on blocks, and he had it done by the time I finished making dinner.

I love this thread! MH does the dishes every night (my bump won't clear the sink, and standing for a long time is hard), does a lot of the cooking now and bathing/brushing kids teeth at night! He also told me I'm not grocery shopping anymore after I described a 20 min. walk through Wal-Mart and how it brought on lots of BH and back pain. I feel bad for him because he's only one person and there's a lot to do around here but he has really stepped it up and I think he just feels so terrible for me.
@Lbloom That is really sweet that he’s taking some of that off your plate. It sounds like he really understand the sacrifice you are making to grow your family, especially when this pregnancy is not being so kind to you.
My husband does baths with my daughter now because bending over the tub is so hard, and it gives me 20 minutes to myself in the evening, which is heaven.
You know, I have a knack for choosing a cart at the store that veers off to the side? Well I had to have the 6yo help me push it while I steered at the front. It was a pretty pathetic moment!! That and we walked through there at a snails pace with people rushing to get in front of me so I wouldn't slow them down. Ugh.
