Terrible Timing of the Fire Alarm

Dave and I are still in the process of making a baby with no luck yet, but we are currently in our week of prime baby making time. So it all started last night, Dave was pretty excited about our baby making coming up. (Sorry if this is to much for you guys, but we all know what has to be done to get a baby come on!!) So he was anxiously awaiting Isabelle to go to sleep. She finally fell asleep when we start hearing a chirping sound from the monitor. We both ignored it at first then Dave heard it again, and claimed that it maybe coming from Isabelle's room. He went to investigate and came down with a look on his face like, "no baby making for me tonight". Come to find out it was the fire alarm IN ISABELLE'S room that had run out of batteries and was chirping all night. Isabelle had not even budged she was prepared to sleep through the whole thing, so I told Dave he should sleep through it as well. Dave is a pretty light sleeper and there was no way that he could sleep with that chirping going on. This is when Dave proposed the impossible, go in Isabelle's room with a ladder and change the batteries!!

At this point I am in hysterics at the situation and have a feeling that this will never work. But he is my husband so I will support this crazy idea. We go upstairs and Dave decides that he will practice on the alarm in the hall before going into the danger zone (Isabelle's room). He takes the battery out of the hall unit and of course it then starts to chirp. We then take the battery from the hall into Isabelle's room. As I open the door, of course it creaks so I swing it opne fast. The first thing I see is 3 of Isabelle's babies in a row on the floor with their bare bottoms pointed at the door. All I could do was laugh at this already hilarious situation, even though Dave saw no humour in it. We manage to change the battery and Isabelle does not move an inch. As we leave the room high fiving each other we hear a loud crack of thunder, and the look on Dave's face was priceless as he says, "there is no getting around it she is sleeping with us".. LOL Sometimes storms wake up Isabelle. Dave decides to just take the alarm in the hall down that way it does not beep and we can get a battery for it tomorrow. Just as he says, "eww no more beeping", the alarm goes bazerk and is beeping like crazy. I thought Dave was going to throw it down the stairs but instead he runs down the stairs smuthering the thing the whole way.

It was just hilarious that a battery that has been in the smoke detector for over 3 years now pick 11 at night to start going off in the babies room!
