Busted!!

So last night I slept the entire night without having to get up to go to the bathroom, and it was fabulous. The only time i woke was when Emily was crying, and I have no idea what time that was. I kicked Travis and asked him to go check on her, and he said "what?" I had to repeat myself 3 times before he figured it out. I was SO annoyed because there's a child crying - why do you think I'm kicking you?!?! But he took care of it and I think i was back asleep before he was even out of bed.

This morning I asked how that all went down, and he said he had to take his earplugs out to hear what I was saying!!! I told him earplugs are off limits once the baby is born. If he isn't so tired that he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow no matter what kind of noise is going on, then he's not helping me enough! :) He didn't exactly agree, but I will have my way. He says i just have to kick him and he'll help, but I told him there's nothing about this that should begin with me having to do something. I'll be up with baby - he has to be up with Emily. End of story!

So, I called my mom this morning and was venting about the situation telling her how I had laid down the law. Emily was playing with her kitchenette while we were talking, and I guess she was listening more than I thought. Tonight at supper, I said something about the new baby, and she said "Baby wake up dad!!" Travis looked at me incredulously, asking if I had been talking about the waking-in-the-night situation with her. I said no... and he knew she'd been listening while I talked on the phone about it. Man!! I can't believe she got me like that!! Amazing what little ears can hear and retain.
