So my wife is pregnant…. again!

by dangerbrown on October 20, 2009

So I didn’t have any children until I hooked up with my wife about 6 years ago. I’m now 37 years old. When I married her I married her 2 children also. They were 7 and 10 years old. We have been married about 4.5 years now and have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. Now she is pregnant again! I’m very happy about it. I love my kids so much.

So we now have a:
boy 16
girl 13
girl 3
girl 1
? 14 weeks pregnant

So with her being pregnant she can’t do anything. She has gestational diabetes and suffers from terribly frequent fainting spells. Through each of these last 3 pregnancies she is on bedrest. I have to walk with her even just to the bathroom because she faints so frequently. It’s very stressful.

Therefore, in addition to earning a living I am doing the cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, chauffeuring of teenagers, etc. It’s a good thing I’m able to eek out a living on near autopilot. I’m not growing my business as fast as I’d like but am very happy that I don’t have to abandon my family for some clock punching job somewhere.

This recent shift in my personal duties is my excuse for failing to blog or tweet lately. I usually do my best work at night in the wee hours, but now I’m getting up with the babies at 7am and when I have time for work I’m usually too tired and distracted to focus my energies properly.

I’m starting to adjust to the new schedule and expect to get caught up with some blogging and such. Thanks for your patience :)

Congrats!!! I, too, have neglected (ironic as it is) my blog and twitter account lately due to family obligations, and I’ve missed chatting with you. I hope things are going well, and if you don’t hear from me in a week or two, reach out to me, I have a couple of things I’ve discovered lately that have allowed me to make a bit more money online while working around a challenging family schedule.

Congratulations! We have only one little boy (6 years old) and I struggle to keep connected with the family (I’m a devout workaholic) — I can’t imagine 4 (soon to be 5).
