Woke up this morning and sent my wife a text to ask if it was okay for me to go to church this morning before picking up my son. She said that it wasn't a problem. She then asking if I had gone out, what did I do, etc. I kept my answers brief but not overly mysterious.
Went to church at 9:00 and picked up my son at 10:30. We have had a great time this morning. He is down for a nap, so I have a moment to check in.
I asked wife when I picked up my son how she was doing with her parents in town. She said that she spent her entire day yesterday in tears. She was planning on meeting them again at their hotel after I left. Wife is completely overwhelmed with getting our 6 month old ready for his first day at day care tomorrow. We have so many things to have to get ready and purchase.
Wife and her parents have been driving to second hand baby stores looking for a nice cheap pack and play. They were not having any luck, so she called me. I found one on craigslist near where I am, so I told her that I would be happy to pick it up. I told her that is knew she was overwhelmed, and I would be happy to help if she needed it today. Since this is for our S, I didn't think my offer was pushing.
However, I will not send texts or call to give her space with her parents.
She also mentioned that we may have to reschedule tonight's dinner plans again. She is so overwhelmed with her parents in town, first day care,and new job starting that she said she just needs a break tonight. She said that it was not that she didn't want to have dinner out with me, because she does. She just mentioned that maybe a night later this week. No worries here. I am just glad that she is willing to do this weekly (almost like a date night).
I am going to have fun the rest of the day with my little boy, and that is all that matters to me right now.
