I thought this song was especially funny for this vlog 😝

Tim had hernia surgery two weeks ago after apparently becoming too much of a beef castle 🥩🏰😂

He insists the hernia was NOT from going from 180ish lbs to 215 lbs of muscle in a relatively short amount of time, and was actually from trying to yank something heavy out of the attic while halfway hanging through the opening. Then… pop. 🤪 Personally, I’m calling it a combination of events.

He was actually supposed to have surgery months ago while I was pregnant, but the day of his surgery there was an emergency at the hospital and all scheduled surgeries were canceled.

At the time we were so frustrated, and then that same weekend I started having way too many contractions and ended up needing to seriously rest. Looking back, we were SO grateful it had been canceled because having him completely out of commission that weekend would have been a disaster. It really felt like a little God moment.

Then I had the baby, and obviously we couldn’t exactly schedule Dad to be useless while I was freshly postpartum with seven kids 😂 So we waited until I was about three months postpartum, when the hernia was getting bad enough that he kept having to stop and lie down.

So… this has basically been life for the last two weeks. 😅

The first few days he couldn’t lift anyone at all, which was a BIG adjustment. He’s doing so much better now and can lift the baby again, which has been a tremendous help, but he still can’t lift the toddlers. 😭

I’m so grateful the surgery went well though and that he’s healing!

In the meantime… welcome to my solo morning routine with seven kids 😂🤪
