Okay! another update. and question..?

Question

So. We've been home from the hospital for a little over 2 weeks now, and Jake is doing great. He still keeps us up in the dark hours, but he's still precious. The sling has worked great when we're out of the house, but when we're at home, I can carry him around and only use one crutch. Except when my ankle hurts or i'm tired. There are times when Hannah and I say we want more children later, and then there are the times we say that Jake will be an only child. And yes, he loves to lay on my bare chest naked. It seems to soothe him and it helps Hannah get him to sleep. Time seems to be flying by. Seems like just yesterday, we were staring at our new little man. But I went to the doctors for an examination of my ankle (the reason i'm on crutches. And my crutches are more like a cane with places for my wrist to rest) and the doctor said the nerves are showing a little bit of progress toward healing. With this healing, also means pain. So i've been kind of restricted from helping Hannah as much as I used to because I have to be sitting as much as possible to ease the pain a bit. I can still fold the laundry, if she brings me the basket of clothes, and I can feed Jake his formula or rock him to sleep. But that's about it. I'm the best cook in the house, but that's not really possible anymore. What else can or should I do to help out??

Answer 1

..hei there actually you can help her do some light household chores if you can take to do so...if it would not create so much pain on your part...on the other hand, I'm sure  she'll understand your situation now....

Answer 3

hmmm... well it seems to me that the best thing u could do is get better as fast as you can. Also maybe you could try to cook from a chair, or at least sitting down for the most part. And doing cleaning from a chair or on the ground might help too, just suggestions ^.^

Answer 4

I don't know your back story but its sounds like your doing GREAT. honestly as long as the house its dirty let it be a little cluttered its ok. I know how you feel about having more children. When my daughter was that age we didn't want any more, now that shes almost two we decided to have one more. You sound like an amazing father and your sons and his mother are very lucky to have you. It doesn't sound there is much more you can do.
