Brett talking in his sleep

Brett has started doing some strange things in the middle of the night.
We've been married almost 2 1/2 years, and these weird things haven't started until this year.
Maybe it's because he has a full time job now, so he's tired and sleeps deeper or something- or maybe it was/is the anticipation and excitement of having the baby... whatever the reason I wanted to share some of these stories to document them, and to make you laugh.

So Brett talking in his sleep is pretty normal- he doesn't do it a lot, but even when we were first married he would occasionally.
I learned from his best friend and former college roomie that Brett talked a lot in his sleep when they were roomies, his buddy would even film it and try and get Brett to say weird things, which is not very hard to do I've learned.

I have tons of "Brett talking in his sleep" stories, but I'm only going to share a couple, just because I don't have time to share them all- but if you ever want to know more just ask. And if he keeps this up, maybe I'll keep posting more stories

First off, Brett always falls asleep before me. When I was pregnant he would fall asleep waaay before me, sometimes an hour or more. Even now, not pregnant it still takes me a lot longer to fall asleep- so I'm usually wide awake and aware when he starts talking, so he can't discount any of this by saying I was sleeping too~!
(by the way I have brett's full permission to share these stories)

To the stories:


A few weeks ago I had gotten up to use the bathroom- (i was still pregnant and going potty a lot) :) As I was getting back in bed, Brett turned to me and said,
"Stop" -
"stop what?" I asked him
" You're trying to cover me with sticks" is what he said
"No i'm not Brett"- he got a confused look, and went back to bed- it was weird

Sometimes he does scary ones, one time he sat up in bed super fast and stared at the corner of our room where the bathroom is
"what are you doing?" I asked
"there's someone over there" he said
"No there's not brett"
"Ya there is"
"What are they doing?" I asked
"Waiting to put my stuff up." - and then he went right back to bed. Leaving me wide awake to be scared and keep looking at that corner waiting to see someone!!

Another scary one was one of the first nights we had Parker home, he was in his bassinet next to our bed, Brett woke up and asked,
"Where is he?"
"Who?" I asked
"He was looking at Parker" was all he said
That one really freaked me out, so I had to wake Brett up fully and make him realize there was no one there so that he could reassure me!!


These last ones are more recent, like last night and the night before that...

I had finished feeding Parker and had put him back down, it had been about 15 minutes- Brett was asleep the whole time when out of no where he jumps out of bed and starts padding the comforter at the bottom of our bed. He's moving it and pushing it around like he's feeling for something.
"Brett, what are you doing?"
"Looking for Parker"
"Why would parker be down there?" I asked
"Someone put him there"
"Why would I put him at the bottom of the bed?" I said
"No, not you, someone else"
"Brett, what are you talking about?"
"Never mind" was what he said and went back to bed

He didn't remember this happening this morning when I asked him about it... weird!!

Ever since we had Parker we are both a little on edge to hear him cry in the night and jump up and get him, just as most new parents are, I'm sure.

This one happened again about 20 min after I fed and put Parker back down. Brett jumped up, grabbed this mesh, small football pillow he has and put it on the side of the bed and started trying to swaddle it with our comforter.
"What are you doing??" I asked him
I think that woke him up and he realized he wasn't swaddling a baby... he got back in bed and went right to sleep...

I have countless other stories, usually about him waking up and saying weird things, or jumping out of bed and doing weird things. Maybe I will start filming them- and post them! :)
