Sleep? What's that?

Another sleepless night... Only this time there are no cupcakes to keep me happy.

I am told to spend the last weeks before baby comes catching up on some much needed sleep because once he is here, I won't be sleeping much anymore. Well, I don't know how anyone expects me to get any kind of rest when I am constantly being woken up by cramps, contractions, heartburn, restless legs, leaking milk, constant need to pee, and baby parties. And those are just the pregnancy related culprits. That isn't even including the coughing, sinus pressure, post-nasal drip, and nausea I get from my sinus problems/allergies. Or the fact that Connery has suddenly decided that the best sleep positions are those that cause the most discomfort and awkwardness for me. Put them all together and you have a recipe for the world's worst sleep ever. I am about ready to give up on ever getting a decent night's sleep again.

Honestly, I think that I will actually get more sleep when the baby is here! Right now, just getting to sleep is impossible. I mean, as long as he is a reasonable guy and doesn't scream the entire night, I will at least be able to actually sleep in between the feedings and changings, and hopefully get a short nap or two in during the day when someone else is able to watch him. I won't have all these discomforts keeping me from just falling asleep or getting a quality sleep during the in betweens.

Besides, when I am up with the baby I will be doing something. Not like now, where I am up for hours on end just twiddling my thumbs.

The lack of sleep is starting to take it's toll on me. I am definitey more moody. I am exhausted all the time. I have no motivation and I can't concentrate on the things I am trying to do. I just hope that I am able to get just one or two good sleeps in before I go in to labour. I can't imagine going in to labour in the state I am in right now. I don't think I would be able to do it. I definitely wouldn't be able to do it naturally.

Anyway, I am exhausted. I'm going to try one more time to get some sleep. Wish me luck.
