I’m awake! I slept! OK. Not all night but like a lot of the night and man it’s as if I’ve taken speed and mainlained an entire carafe of espresso mixed with Jolt cola. I can totally thank this awesome lady for it too. She’s a life saver! The only snafu came around 3:30 a.m. when H decided he was going to stake claim on the whole bed, wife be damned.
3:31 a.m.-
Me: Whhaatt… uuhh… OW! (H’s knee has just well, knee’d me.) I try to roll over and realize that he has pushed me all the way to the edge of the bed and I just catch myself as I start to fall overboard. I practically impale my left breast on the nightstand. Ouch.
H: Snuffling sounds.
Me: Damn it! I cannot reclaim my spot. WTF! H has just shoved a pillow in my face and I am slowly being suffocated. I wrench it away and sit up, glaring at him and breathing heavily through my now clear nasal passages.
H: Snores a bit albeit quietly.
Me: I shove him and he doesn’t move. Even a smidgen or scootch of a millimeter. I hate losing sleep. I begin to panic as I sense the minutes slipping away knowing that the small one will wake just as I finally doze off again. It’s been seven hours and she hasn’t woken up yet. Time is precious. I begin to debate which would be more effective- shoving a pillow into H’s snoring face or taking both my feet and using them to push him off the bed entirely. Just as a formulate a game plan he rolls even closer, if that is even possible and somehow manages to rip all the covers off me as well.
Me: I want to bludgeon him. I grab my pillow, smoosh it around and pull the blankets back with all my might. I get about four inches of duvet from H’s iron-fisted craw. I wiggle around to get comfy again and begin to fall back asleep trying desperately to not compose blog posts in my head as I drift off to sleep….
4:24 a.m. – The sounds of a very awake Dash Two rouse me and I practically fall out of bed and stumble into the nursery.
4:42 a.m. – I am back in bed and reclaiming my spot with all my might. I will not be vanquished!
7:57 a.m.- The sweet smell of gummi vitamins (I do not believe for one second those things are 100% all natural.) and loud squishy chomping in my ear wakes me. Time to start the day.

This morning, I woke up in a panic, thinking I had overslept. Turns out my alarm was going to go off in 5 minutes. So I decided to go back to sleep for those 5 minutes, and totally ended up laying down on the hubz’s arm, right where he burned himself yesterday. D’oh.But in all fairness, he was waaaay over on my side of the bed.
