Anyway, he's home today and I have been so, so glad all day that I'm married to a guy I like so much and that he is in the same city as me. He took an overnight flight to be here this morning since I was pretty much breaking down via baby stress, and I knew the lack of sleep was going to put him out of commission. The MOG has a very delicate time-meter. He is deeply affected by time zone changes and things like Daylight Savings.
Two kinds of people in this world: those who take naps and those who don't. I imagine in some couples, there are 2 nappers, and every day there is a cozy little 15 minute siesta where everyone wakes up cheerful. We are not that couple. For the first 10 years, I fought the nap. "You don't need a nap." I would say sardonically. (what a delicious word) He would argue that indeed, he did need a nap, and then he would go lay down and I would slam cabinets and play music. If this kind of rebellion rocks you to the core, wait a couple years. Marriage makes you happy, and marriage makes you mean.Eventually, I gave up. I don't fight the nap, and he tries to nap somewhere I won't see. It works. Today, we ran errands for a long time, and also there have been 2 naps. Really, he flew overnight from a different time zone, plus he just got off a tour, and Daylight Savings. For some people, that's like traveling back 30 years in a Delorian, kind of dating your mom, saving the clock tower and then coming back. Exhausting. I expect him to be back to normal by Sunday. Then the baby will come and no one will sleep ever again, at least where I can see them.
In other news: baby presents! (not pictured: the gift card from Randy &Crystal- thanks!!) If you want to send something for the baby, the link is over on upper left sidebar- I'm sure he'll appreciate it when he does things besides sleeping and crying. :)
you talk about your hubby like you really love him and you are not annoyed with him at all for anything under the sun and he really is your best friend and it warms my heart. I know that all these things are always true... its just that when he is on the road your heart longs for him and it is so sweet.....
