Snorts, Grunts, and Jerks

Can I just deviate from all things spiritual for a minute and talk about something a little bit more personal?

Okay....

I snore when I sleep.

Now, to be clear, I don't snore when I'm not pregnant, but seein' as how I'm growing a baby, for some reason my nasal area isn't working very well. It's embarrassing! I try to stay on one side or the other, but inevitably, I end up on my back and all sorts of things happen. In fact, I've been awoken by the snort coming out of my nose...or is it my mouth? eww

Poor Pastor JT, he has to literally nudge me so that I'll roll over! I mean, COME ON! I thought it was the wife that nudged the husband, right, RIGHT!? But, nooo, it's the pregnant girl who is but a mere 18 weeks along! What's going to happen when I'm full term?! Will I need to be on one of those things for people with sleep apnea? Or will I have to prop myself up on my pillows? Sleep in a chair? Oh, the drama.

However, the BEST is when I'm about to fall asleep and a weird, short grunt comes out. That wakes me up every time. And, as I'm coming out of sleep in that short, half second, I realize it's me and I'm soon laughing and the fact that I GRUNTED myself out of sleep.

Or what about those not-so-deep-dreams that have you doing those weird, full body sleep jerks? Those are ha-larious when you're the one still awake and your hubs is the one jerking the whole bed. Pastor JT once had a big red dodge ball thrown at him. I, just last night, was floating on a log and fell face first in the water. That sleep jerk woke me right up and, once again, struck me funny! Why I was on a log in the water, I'll never know.

So, all that to say, it would be nice to go a whole night without snoring, grunting or sleep-jerking.

Anyone?
