Husband can't handle "Feeling Good Wife"

Posted Wednesday, January 30, 2008 4:33 PM

My poor husband.

He dealt with me feeling like complete ass for 6 weeks.  He made me dinner, he politely told the baby to be kinder to mommy, he cleaned the entire bathroom (not to my standards, of course, but still a valiant effort), and he even went grocery shopping with me (and he hates the grocery store).

So I'm finally starting to feel better...yay!  Very few pukey sensations now and not quite as tired as I was.  You can tell I'm feeling better because I last longer and longer each night feeling pretty okay.  I now can make it to the evening TV shows, not that any new episodes are on at this point (damn production companies...just give more money to the writers...I can't take any more reality TV).  I'm needing fewer naps, and I'm no longer requiring assistance to physically make it to bed. 

I think this is starting to affect my husband.

Apparently he walked into work yesterday looking exhausted, and his buddy asked him what was up.  My darling husband said, "I don't think I can handle this anymore.  René is getting more and more energy, feeling better each night, staying awake longer each night.  I have a feeling she'll soon be back to wanting to stay up until 11:30.  I was getting used to going to bed at 9 pm."

Poor guy.  He treasures his sleep, that's for sure, and before Baby Edmo came about, I was that wife who wanted him to stay up with me until I was finally tired, which was never before 11 pm.  He really liked "Tired Wife" who went to bed right after dinner.  He will certainly miss her.

Poor Hubby! Haha! I am the same way girl, my husband lays on the couch and sleeps on me while I stay up for 2 more hours watching tv. He hates it but I refuse for him to go bed before I do.

Aww!  My husband is the opposite though.  Actually, we are both night owls, but with my new job, I basically make him go to bed earlier.  (We always go to bed together.)  He'd much rather stay up!

Awww, that's too cute! I'm the same way w/my husband too though, I want him to stay awake with me until I go to bed.  Mainly I just want more time with him, I'm gross and mushy like that! haha.

But what's your poor hubby going to do when the baby comes and he has broken nights of sleep, or maybe even nights of no sleep at all??!! Yikes!

Wait until the 3rd trimester, you'll be back to wanting to go to sleep at 9pm again. :)  My house is the opposite, I'm the one wanting to go to sleep early and my DH stays up late.

My DH usually falls asleep on the couch as we're watching TV.  Even if we go to bed together to read before sleep, I'm usually still up reading long after he's fallen asleep.  Then there are nights when he's had too much caffeine...

I'm glad you're feeling better.  Enjoy this time.  Still peeing a lot?  Wait until the third tri.  I just need a port-a-potty attached to me :p
