There comes a point in every woman’s pregnancy where she dreads hearing the words “I think it’s time to…” This morning, as I sat braced in the uncomfortably hard tradional Chinese chair in my living room, I heard those dreaded words uttered from the lips of my own husband. To make it worse, he chose to share his thoughts with me over the phone! It’s never a good sign when your husband starts out a phone conversation from the safety of his office with “I think it’s time to…” As a pregnant woman who is very aware of her challenged state (and the ways it may be challenging her mate), any number of fill in the blank scenarios can come to mind in a millisecond of hearing those words.
Let’s explore a few that came to mine.
I think it’s time to…
-use shock therapy for your snoring
-submit photos of you to “freakishly huge pregnancy photos.com”
-make you sleep on the couch (after all, you sound like Chewbaka)
-sleep in separate rooms
-smother you with a pillow
-see a therapist (can anyone say mood swings?)
-put you on a diet
-move out for a little while
-take away the chocolate
So imagine my relief when he simply suggested we switch blankets with the spare room so we can each have our own separate duvets (that way when I get in and out of bed 15 times at night to use the loo- I won’t pull the blankets off of him). Whew! Glad I get to keep my chocolate.
