Pregnancy Logic

Good Idea Honey!

There have been some interesting things going on around here lately, and not the freaky-mo-deaky kind.  I'm not sure if Pookie is getting bored from having to spend so much time taking it easy, but I think she's been playing some sort of wifey head games with me.

Day One: 

Pookie:  "We need to flip the mattress over, your side is forming an ass-groove."

PJ:  "I like my ass-groove, that's where I put my ass when I sleep."

Pookie:  "The mattress will last longer if we flip it over."

PJ:  "Ok....I respect your decision, and am happy to help in any way I can."

Pookie:  "Just flip the mattress."

When your wife is pregnant with triplets and wants you to move shit, you move it.  This is a truth I have learned well.

A week later I stroll into our room, and Pookie has set up camp on my side, totally negating the previously mentioned mattress maintenance.  Puzzled, I tentatively try to figure out the new program.

PJ:  "Uh, are you switching sides?"

Pookie:  "I think I'll sleep better over here."

PJ:  "I have no idea what it is going on."

Pookie:  "I like being closer to the window, so I thought I would switch."

PJ:  "What about the ass-groove?"

Pookie:  "Meh, not a big deal." 

At this point I noticed that the window was closed.  Totally baffled, I left the room and headed downstairs to have a scotch and ponder exactly what was going on.  Basically what happened was we flipped the mattress to reduce wear and tear (even though it wasn't really a big concern), then switched sides, (putting us right back where we were) causing Pookie to sleep farther from the bathroom, but that was ok because she was now closer to the window, which was closed. 

For a while I thought maybe I was living in an episode of Life Goes On, and I was Corky, but I have now realized I was just dealing with a completely different form of logic.  I call it Pregnancy Logic, expect to see it on Dr. Phil.  This new level of thinking has popped up a few times lately, but hey, all part of the fun.  As long as she feels great and the babies are growing I'll move whatever she wants, and be happy to do it.

The countdown continues.
