2 weeks ago my wife had her first ultrasound and we found out it's twins. She is 10 or 11 weeks pregnant with twins. Last week when we were at the Doc. And were asking about what to expect with it being her first pregnancy. We were told there would be a good chance of bed rest at some point.
I own and run a stained glass and glass art company out of our basement. Currently she works about 50 hours a week. I have 1 other full time and 1 part time employee. We are looking to hire someone to replace part of my wife's hours. I work about 65 hours a week.
Right now we have about 12 weeks of work lined up with our current workers. I'm also looking at a new church that would take about 15 weeks from start to finish.
I want my wife to cut her hours back soon to get everything ready. At some point want to drop down to working 8 hours a day 6 days a week but don't know when. My wife wants us to take on the church job, but I don't want to get stuck working around the clock to try and get a huge project finished at the last minute. She has talked to her mom and she says she will come over a couple days a week to help out around the house.
I know for more than half of my life I have put playing with glass in front of everything else in my life. I'm one of the worst when it comes to relationships or even doing something special for my wife. But I know I know this is the time that I have to change to be there for her.
I would love to to hear some thoughts on this as my art dose not talk back to me.
