Sleepwalking....
So, Adam sleepwalks.... a lot. Last night I hear a crash come from the spare bedroom. I look over, Adam's not in bed. I get up and go into the spare bedroom and apparently my super-awesome husband decided that he needed to move the tv to a new location... and by moving to a new location, I mean drop on the floor. Luckily, it didn't break, and luckily he missed my 55 gallon turtle tank that was right next to where the tv was. Of course, he doesn't remember any of this this morning... never a dull moment with him!!
My parents came to visit us when we were living in GA and I had to make them lock their bedroom door because otherwise, Adam might get up in the middle of the night and try to crawl in bed with them. He wakes up in random places... the couch, the spare bedroom, the office... I found him in our dog's bed one night, which of course I took lots of pictures of for blackmail!!!
He also talks in his sleep, which is absolutely HILARIOUS, but of course I never remember to record any of it 
Re: Sleepwalking....
Hehe! Maybe you can put a lock that opens with a key on the door to the nursery? And then... I dunno what you would do with the key. Wear it on a bracelet or something? It's probably not a great idea to have a baby locked in a room alone, though... Obviously I am no help at baby-related things.
I'm suddenly glad that Matt does nothing more than mumble and hug things. He likes to sleep hugging a pillow, or me, or a baseball bat, or a book, or the cat, or whatever he can grab, really. Once he woke me up by grabbing me and dragging me roughly the whole way across the bed, where he proceeded to squeeze most of the air out of me. I was unbelievably exhausted that particular night, so I just started to cry. He woke up and had no idea what was wrong with me.
HAHAHAHA! I'm glad all that my HH doesn't sleepwalk! He's talked in his sleep once that I heard, and he only snores if he falls asleep on his back.
Aww, I probably would've cried too!!
This is hilarious - waking up in the dog's bed one time?? I am dying over here!!!
Thankfully DH doesn't do anything in his sleep - when he's out, he's out. No talking, no snoring, no moving around. I am the one who fidgets alot, snores, and apparently occasionally also talks in my sleep. Lucky for me, DH is a sound sleeper. ;-)
LMBO!!! this is SO ME!!! trust me Ambien will only make it worse! When I was on Ambien, I called people in the middle of the night, text, facebook, who knows what else.....the scary thing about that was i also lived alone!
i am not so bad anymore about the sleep walking, usually one of the dogs will wake me up and Chad is a light sleeper so if I get up he wakes up instantly. The talking on the other hand....goes non stop. Apparently when i was little this is how my parents busted me on so many things! I sold my own self out when I talked in my sleep.
Haha, Adam usually talks about boring work stuff. Last night, he was asking someone if they "had any caffeine back there" and then made this REALLY weird hillbilly laugh.
hahaha!! This post made my day! I've been known to talk in my sleep... not about anything in particular, just nonsense.. but that's because when I'm tired I turn into a drunk person, seriously. DH came home one night to find me asleep on the stairs- I couldn't even make it to the bedroom!

lol oh dear! I took an ambien once when I was in a van with my ex boyfriend and his parents driving from Wisconsin to Washington. I wanted to sleep the whole trip! haha. I woke up part way through to go potty at a gas station and I thought the floor was bubbling,then I tried to buy some chips and was trying to figure out change but I could tell from the look on the cashiers face I was messing up hardcore haha I just gave up.

My DH talks in his sleep all the time, and it cracks me up! He told me I smell like bears once, and another time he kept demanding that I give him the "packet of papers!"
Oh my lord, I go out for a few hours and the whole board explodes with hilarity...from wisdom teeth stories to sleepwalking and talking, I am literally shaking with laughter.
I just remembered a sleepwalking story from my own past. I was in junior high school and I slept walked into my mothers bedroom. I walked straight into her dresser, bounced off it and landed on my side on the bed. It woke her up and she asked me what I was doing, to which I replied "I've got to finish coloring it!" She asked me what I needed to finish coloring, but I just kept repeating that one sentence over and over until she led me back to bed. No idea what it was that I was supposed to be coloring.
My hubby doesn't sleepwalk, but seriously, I still think he's lying. He had "sleepsex" with me. He swears he was asleep.
