Our first baby related argument

So DH and I argued this morning because I took my temp at 3:30AM when I got up to go to the bathroom. The beeping disturbed him and kept him up all night. I find it hard to believe that his sleep was disturbed for the entire night. He likes to exaggerate things sometimes. But I should be understanding, I guess. He’s just very testy about his sleep. He gets more sleep than I do most of the time because he doesn’t have to be at work until 8:30AM and has a very short commute. There is a compromise somewhere in this situation. I just get annoyed with how whiney he is about sleep sometimes. It reminds me of when we first moved into together and DH would whine about being tired because he had to get up at like 7AM or something. Meanwhile, I’m working a full-time job and going to school in the evenings and getting much less sleep than him and yet not complaining one bit. Those days are long gone, but our argument reminded me of that this morning. We will figure out a compromise so that I don’t disturb his sleep.

But I did indicate that I was thinking about making charting a permanent BC method when we start TTA after our first baby and he started imagining his sleep getting disturbed forever and getting panicked. He likes to worry about stuff like that and start freaking out. I’m not going to let him get a terrible night’s sleep for the rest of our marriage but I want to be able to chart. We’ll figure out a compromise. I tried to explain to him that he might not have been able to get back to sleep last night because we had been drinking some wine earlier that evening and alcohol disturbs your sleep. So I’m not going to dwell on this anymore.

Ok, on to more interesting things **crickets**….I guess there are that many interesting things in my life. The boredom of going to work everyday is certainly getting to me. But that’s life I guess. Today is Friday, yay! I need to apply for a few jobs over the weekend. I’m going to start applying for positions within my agency but in a different office. I need to get out of this office as soon as I can.

So back to the argument (I tried) it is still leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I hate arguing in the morning (thankfully it doesn’t happen very often) because we never really have time to come to a resolution before I have to go to work. I wish I had an excuse to call him and talk to him, but he’s busy and I can’t think of any at the moment. I think that writing about it isn’t really helping anything so I’m going to stop.

On a more happier note we did have sex on the couch last night for the first time in like forever. While it is kind of sexy, it just isn’t as comfortable so we moved to the bed halfway through.
