Self pitty while on bedrest is a common emotion for moms. You get to a place where it feels like it's only happening to you. But it's sooooooo important to realize that it's happening to our husbands as well. They are learning just how much of the daily load we carried. More often that not we did it without complaint. This is a heavy and sudden shift for our husbands. They go from 50% of the duties to 120%. We need to look at our husbands with compassion and grattitude. Even if they complain or if they are slow getting dinner ready when we want it. This is a huge burden they have shouldered and I am sure that on some days, even if they wouldn't dream of saying so, they get resentful as we lay about and watch them scurry around the house. Communication about our feelings has helped me and my husband. When he is overwhelmed or when I feel useless just sitting here. I wrote about my admiration for him & what he's had to take on on my blog, "In Sickness and Health"
