So, I’m watching my wife deal with normal postpartum trials, mainly
being sore and needing lots of rest, and I feel for her. Women go
through a lot in labor and I definitely respect that. But having 4
other kids 5 years old and under means that I have to take care of them
in order for her to get her rest. I also have to take care of all the
house duties to keep it from going to shambles. Basically I have to
play mom. And man is it tough.

This would be us if the woman changed into p.j.'s
and traded the briefcase for a newborn...
and if I had one more toddler grabbing my ankles. |
I had to prepare breakfast (cereal), dinner (frozen enchiladas), clean up after the meals, make sure all of the house is picked up after these 4 rambunctious kids destroy it, and all while attempting to get my work own work done. How she does it everyday (while actually cooking real food), I have no idea.

Chef Extraordinaire!! |
My non-Mr. Mom work today consisted of emptying all of our cameras of all the pictures and videos and organize them. Which was great, because I ended up finding a lot of videos and pictures that we thought we had lost, including newborn pics and vids of our third child and a lot of videos from the shop!!

Very happy to find long lost photos of our third baby girl. |
After all this at the end of the day, I still had a lot more work I
needed to get done. Usually I would do it. I don’t know if it was the
sentimentality of finding all those long lost family archives or just
exhaustion setting in, but I couldn’t keep working. So we all (minus a
sleeping newborn) watched COPS, Judge Judy and Dude Perfect in the kids
room for a couple of hours. Sitting here thinking about it next to my
new little son, I don’t regret taking the break to spend some quality
time with my wife and kids.
But now it’s time to get back to work.
