Comfort Is A Thing Of The Past
Rachel, Thank you for the kind words. It is obvious that you know her and her personality.
The home stretch is upon us and soon our family will increase by 1. Although our due date isn’t until the 3rd of August, that date seems too far away to be right according to family members and most of all, my wife. Dates have been picked, bet on and passed by for the birth date of my first child; I haven’t seen a dollar of the wages and am curious to know who is collecting, I strongly feel that my wife should be entitled to the wages bet due to the amount of discomfort she is living in. With that said I assure all contestants that my wife wants the baby out with the utmost urgency but is strong enough to let nature take its course. The discomfort felt by my wife is trickling down through our immediate family and even effecting Strider. (Our dog) For about the past two months my wife’s’ greatest allies have been pillows and they have taken over the bed with force. The once invisible border that divided her side from mine and allowed Strider to roam between both as a neutral party has been shut down with physical barricades. Even though the barricades are pillows, Strider or I wouldn’t dare trespass due to the amount of unfamiliar noises and movement that takes place “over there”. With the barricades up my side has been reduced to a little less then a single sized mattress, this may not seem bad to most but I have to share with Strider and he is a fairly large pooch weighing about 64 lbs. Considering comfort isn’t easy to come by, sleeping more then 4 hours at a time in near impossible. The noises and movements that are heard and felt “over there” usually require a quick recon mission to make sure nothing potentially harmful is occurring. When this happens Strider and I both react by quickly surveying the other side. If the activity is somewhat constant we’ll sleep in shifts to make sure we always have our six (back) covered.
