Pregnancy and Snoring Don't Mix

I know, it is no longer about me, but who else, if not me, is going to talk about my struggles. Kim is 36 weeks pregnant and she has a cold. What does that have to do with me you ask? Everything! Particularly when it comes to sleeping.

A couple of nights ago I was soundly sleeping, dreaming about another World Series Championship for the Red Sox when I was awoken by a noise that I have never heard before. I opened my eyes and saw Kim facing me in all of her pregnant splendor. This sound? Where could it possibly be coming from? Not my lovely wife? Well, it was my lovely wife. I guess when you combine being pregnant and having a cold it results in this god awful snoring the likes this world has never heard. And this is coming from a person who can saw logs with the best of them.

So what did I do? I woke her up and made her roll-over. That's right folks, I woke a 36-week pregnant lady up and made her roll over. I mean come on, I need my sleep too right? :)

But seriously, Kim is doing great. She hasn't gotten to that waddling stage yet but it is not far off. After tonight we will be seeing our Doctor weekly and packing our bag, waiting for the big day.

I am almost done with the nursery (when I am done I will post some "before and after" pictures here). All I have left to do is refinish the floor, trim out the new built-in bookcase and then we are ready to move everything in. The remodel has gone well and I have learned a lot. FYI, when the smoke-detectors are screaming, it is a good time to stop the floor sander and change the sand paper. :)
