And so it was last night that Chup finally returned to Retro House. There was much rejoicing on my part and when it was finally time to say good night I fell asleep knowing that my husband was close by my side.
Only . . .
In the middle of the night when my bladder was convincingly full I got up to empty my system and I found out that I was alone. Was it a pregnancy-induced mirage? Had my Chup really come home that evening or was it a lovely dream I whipped up for survival?
Only . . .
In the morning, when the dawn sun had projected its rays into our amply-windowed home I found my husband curled up on the guestbed, snuggled with his own imported pillow and downblanket. I thought it best to leave him alone.
Only . . .
I wanted to know why he had left me alone after our week of employment-forced separation. So I gently awoke him. "Why did you leave me?" He smiled back, "You were snoring."
Only . . .
I am not a snorer. I don't snore. I've never snored. I do not engage in snoring. Me? A snorer? I can't handle this new identity! I am so young! A life of bed-sharing ahead of me cut so short! I refuse to let this become who I am!
Only . . .
If it's all about being nine months pregnant, I will gladly the snore the night away. A small sacrifice I say!
Only . . .
Tell me I won't snore the rest of my life.
For my sake.
For Chup's sake.

I am sure this is not a new life-long habit. In the meantime I bet Chup could find himself some comfy earplugs :) Counting down...
My husband told me that I was snoring a few nights ago when he came to bed.
Lies, lies, I tell you!
I never really sleep well if my husband isn't home at night. You were probably just making up for the lack of good sleep. Right?
So tired, and finally content to fall into a safe, deep sleep, with hubby closeby. I'm sure that's what probably induced the snoring.
(My husband swears I snore sometimes, too.....)
The ONLY time I ever snore is when I'm big and pregnant! Is your belly connected to your snore bone? I don't know the answer, but for me, big and preg = snoring.
We both posted about snoring today.
Weird.
If (since) you've gained weight while growing the Chief, you've probably got some extra around your "snore bone" (I like that). No biggie.
Hopefully, after the arrival of the Chief.........snoring will make a departure.

The first time my husband took me home to meet his parents we heard this horrendous sound coming from the house as soon as we got out of the car. Are they doing construction? No, his Dad had just drifted off in the easy chair at the back of the house.
Somehow my MIL still sleeps by his side every night (may the angels bless her saintly soul...)
It was the body pillow that ended the nights of sleeping together at my house. Of course, we don't have a guest bed, so my dear husband spends most nights on the couch. Oh well, just a few more weeks and neither of us will be sleeping at all!
I was a terrible snorer during the last couple months of my pregnancy. My hubby couldn't sleep... I just told him it was preparation for what was to come... sleepless nights. Only that didn't quite work as planned. I don't snore anymore, but my husband is able to shut out the crying of our baby. Funny how that works.
I snored at the end of my last pregnancy too. Brandon says I still snore sometimes, but I can usually link the snoring to some dairy I ate earlier in the evening. That darn dairy!

Earplugs will save your marriage.
P.S. Maybe Chup needs to play with these.
I'd have to say that not having to pee every hour was my nicest pleasure after baby #2. It's so annoying.
I'm sure the snoring is from the pregnancy because I had a constant runny nose with baby #1, and was completely congested and had to sleep with breathe right strips with baby #2. Maybe try some of those!
i started snorring after the first paragraph of this baby! C'mon maaaaahhnnnnn!!!!
I couldn't sleep because the JAZZ FRIECKEN LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a snorer. I come from a long line of snorers. I've had to accept that it isn't something I can work on or improve.
I've gotten past the shame (oh, the shame! it's so un-feminine!) and moved to the acceptance phase.
Chris has moved to the "elbow her in the side and she'll roll over and stop snoring" phase.
It works for us.
My favorite snoring story came from my parents:
One night while my dad (exceptionally gifted when it comes to snoring) was "sawing logs," my mom (unable to stand it anymore) finally elbowed him and said, "HEY! You're snoring!"
My dad rolled over and said, "I don't hear anything."
in a few weeks snoring will be the least of your sleep problems. (evil laugh).
I totally snored when I was with child. I'm sure it will go away. You will be ok and Chup will sleep with you once again.
Chup has to be prepared for the sleepless nights somehow too. =)
When my husband tells me I was snoring, I tell him he is a dirty rotten liar.
I am married to an amazing snorer (the sounds that come out of that man!) And I have apparently joined him in my old age - although a friend at YW camp says I don't snore, I "purr!"
Anyway, I have gotten past the noise in my bed because of a "Dear Abby" column years ago. Many people were writing in with cures for snoring and finally a widow wrote in and said she would give anything to have her dear husband snoring beside her again. That changed my perspective and I now welcome the lovely sounds reminding me that my hubby is by my side.
my sweet hubby says I've never snored a day in my life.
my kids tape recorded me snoring.
did I mention how sweet my hubby was?
I don't snore. I talk in my sleep. And grind my teeth.
Ain't I a prize?!
