My older sister came into town this weekend for a work event then spent Saturday night and stayed most of Sunday. Olive Garden for dinner as usual! That tends to be a favorite with my family besides Longhorn. Dana (my sister) asked if Shane could stay the night with her so she could play mom. So I let her. lol. Of course I had to sleep in the next room. Not because I didn't trust her to take care of Shane. She is great with him. But mostly because I could not get a hold of Billy to make sure it would be okay with him. I know I would be mad if I woke up and my baby was not at home without him asking me first. (Of course he told me the next morning he trusts Dana and wouldn't of cared.) I will admit that part of the reason I stayed the night is because I didn't want to be so far away from him for so long. I know my mom watches him during the day when I am at work. But I can call and check on him. I doubt if I would of went home that I wouldn't of been able to sleep anyways. Even being in the next room and listening to him fuss and cry when she was changing him and making his bottle was hard. But he did really well with her. Maybe I was hoping he wouldn't, since I have been the only one to ever put him to bed for the evening. I'd like to feel special. lol. Since I am only "food bags" as my mom likes to call me.
We spent Sunday at the house with my mom and Joana came over. We just all hung out and chatted away. Billy hung out for a bit (he had to come over to see his son) before he headed home to play Nascar.. a video game he borrowed from my dad.
As I have said before, a new baby for first time parents can be straining on a marriage. It changes so many things. The most straining thing is the lack of sleep. Just like everyone else my husband and I sometimes get short with one another. But we have done very well to know that we don't mean it and brush it off. Usually later on in the day we will apologize to each other. Well, I thought Billy went home to play video games. I fully expected when I got home that he would be passed out on the couch and the house would look as it did when I left.
But it WASN'T!!
Billy deep cleaned the entire house and did all the laundry. He even picked up the nursery and put the letters up on the wall that spelled Shane's name. It was a happy surprise for sure. He is such a sweetheart. It was a great surprise to walk into. For sure will make the week easier for me.
