First, a quick reminder to check out our flickr link to view more photos. Go ahead, check it out now.
Well lately Jae and I have been reminded of the burdens of pregnancy. You may ask "Mike you are not the one with a being growing in side you, what possible burden could you have?" Mmm. At this point I should say, "good point, my bad!" but its not a good point, not at all.
Listen to this, and you tell me who suffered. Jae no longer likes to sleep on her right side, no, now it has to be the left side, which would not be a problem if I was not sleeping to that side of her. See, I have a tendancy to breath when I sleep, which "blows all over" Jaelyn and disturbs her greatly.
So we switch sides of the bed - I love my right side of the bed, I have a special connection to it. I love not being near the door and close to the coolness of the window. But I, out of love for my wife, switch over to the left side of the bed so that now when she lays on her now prefered left side on the right side of the bed she breathes fresh cool air, and not my disruptive, hot fumes. Not a problem, right? WRONG!
The second night sleeping in this new formation I do nothing more then a textbook "right spin and advancement to the center of the bed manuver". Except, now the usual center of the bed is replaced by nothingness, just hardwood floor and a nightstand that is located at about face level. Landing on the floor would have been nice, instead I smash my face on a dresser at about 4 in the morning. Anyone who knows me, knows that I like my sleep.
So you tell me who is suffering here?
Later,
Mike
I would expect a reply from Jaelyn soon.

I seem to recall it gets worse too... Like when Kate was pregnant I spent several weeks sleeping on about 2 inches of bed with about a 1/2 inch of quilt and no pillow (which I don't mind cos I'm not fussed about pillows)...
