Apparently, how to sleep through ANYTHING!!
Now, I love my dh ~ he's a great husband, a terrific father, he's fun, caring, a hardworker, smart and a great leader of our family. After long days of being....well...awesome, he's tired.
Very tired, obviously.
Last night, about 3:30am, I awoke to fairly bad pain in my abdomen/side. I must have been laying funny, or the baby was laying funny, or *something*. I tried to roll over - but that's not as easy as it sounds, when 8 months preggo. I just couldn't manuvuer myself to a position where the pain would subside ~ in fact, it just kept getting worse. I was just starting to freak out....
Let me pause here. In case you didn't already know this about me, I am a wimp. Seriously. It's probably a *really* good thing I don't go into labor - I would never survive.... now, back to our story:
.....so I reached over and grabbed my dh's hand. I had already been moaning and groaning, in my not-so-subtle way.
He didn't even budge. His snoring didn't break tempo or volume. I almost laughed, it was so humerous. It's probably what kept me from crying ~ I just figured I was on my own, so I hauled my body to a different position, got up, and managed to get rid of the pain and go back to sleep. To the lull of my dh's snore....
So there ya go ~ lessons from a father of five!
(well, told through his wife's eyes, anyway)

Oh Lori,
I am sorry, but I did laugh! But, OH! OH! OH! I do remember those awful pains! I had them so bad with Mary's pregnancy! Ouch! Hopefully, you wont have any more, especially since sympathy is needed at such a time!
cya,

Yup, sounds like my brother alright. He's just like Daddy was.
My favorite part is the next morning when they say something like..."you were up????"
HA

I had to laugh too! Sounds just like my hubby. During my pregnancies especially at the end I would be rolling around in the bed trying to get comfortable, groaning because of pain or of course going to the bathroom (which is right by the bed)20-30 times a night (maybe not that much but it seemed like it) then he would get in the morning and say he was still sleepy and I would tell him about my night and he would say Oh I didn't hear you get up. Really that may be because you were sleepy soundly and snoring! When my water broke at 12:30 am with my last pregnancy I had to yell at the top of my lungs for him to get up and get the phone so I could call my mom to watch the kids.
knock knock? Are you ok?
