Two weeks from today!

Gracious me - two weeks from today Harrison will be here! Exam yesterday indicates he *won't* be here early (got to love contractions that do ab.so.lutely nothing...but hurt!) - it's a good thing though because I don't want baby boy here before he needs to be.

The insomnia is still raging. I'll go to bed, I'll go to sleep and sleep pretty well, then one of the girls (usually Bitsy Bug) will wake up in the middle of the night and that wakes me. At that point, while I still need sleep, it's too late for me to take the meds.

Tuesday night into Wednesday was the worst. I woke at 10:45p.m. and was hungry. I got up and fixed some peanut butter toast (thought the protein would help carry me through the rest of the night). Went back to bed and at 2:30a.m., I realized there was no way I was going back to sleep (too late to take meds). I was awake until 9:30 Wednesday night (Brad wasn't at home). You'd think after having been awake for 23-hours I'd have crashed. But I didn't. Contractions woke me off and on and then Annie came into our room around 2:30 Thursday morning, crying. She was awake until a little before 5:00. Of course, by then, I was wide awake.

Brad isn't home tonight but shouldn't be too late. Since tomorrow is Saturday and we're free other than a birthday party for Elizabeth to attend on Saturday afternoon, I'll be taking an Ambien to see if I can get a decent night's sleep.

Now, I'm starving...again. Off to find something to eat!

Still praying for your sleep and rest! Just carrying a baby is tiring enough, plus no sleep, 3 other littles ones,and just the normal busy times of the day can make you weary. You are not alone...I feel that way ,too and I am just paper pregnant!

Just know I am praying and will continue to do so!

I had that with Ds, the insomnia that is, and my OB let me take Tylenol PM--it's something to consider and might not have that hung over/too strong side effect of the Ambien. Hope you feel better soon!
