Sunday Update

I have been having way more contractions than I should at this point. I am on the medicine almost constantly trying to control them. This is the main story of the day.

I got up with the kiddos @ 6:30 this morning and started the day not feeling so hot. I woke Daddy Piper up and he came out while I took a bath to calm the contractions before taking more medicine - it didn't help. He had work outside so the kids were mine for a few hours. They were not in the best of moods today. I think L isn't getting enough rest with S waking her up in the morning.

I totally YELLED at the kids and lost my cool this morning. I felt so bad and hated that I acted like my mother. I hate that raging feeling. I was in the middle of the terbutline kicking in, while having contractions and their whining was on my last nerve. All just excuses for my bad behavior. I apologized and they forgave me. I hope it doesn't happen again like that for awhile, if ever. At least I knew to apologize and hope they don't remember episodes like this.

Daddy Piper finished up truck work and came in. I rested for about 3 hours while Daddy Piper handled the chitlens. More contractions are the reason for this downtime for Mama.

Daddy took the kids for a bike ride this evening. We loaded up L's bike and took her to the asphalt to ride. She did great on that. I walked by them for a bit and took pictures. Then he put both of them in the bike trailer and went on a longer ride. The weather is getting nice enough to be able to do this now!!

All in all - a wonderful day minus a couple bumps in the road. I was happy that Daddy Piper spend some quality time with the kids today. They have been needing that time with him since things haven't been so hot around here for the last few weeks.
