Pregnancy Insomnia....

And pregnancy insomnia begins. I read in my What to Expect When You’re Expecting book that I would be experiencing this now. So this past week, I have been experiencing the woes of getting woken up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep. I go to sleep just fine to start out with, but then about 4 hours later, I get woken up to use the bathroom, and I find it hard to get settled back down and go back to sleep. I think Hannah is confusing the late night potty breaks with “It’s time to officially get up for the day”. After the potty break is over, she bounces around like a wild woman in there which tends to keep me up for about 1 to 2 hours a night before finally falling back to sleep. I do enjoy feeling her kick. It is a relief every time she gives me a nudge but can’t we do these things during the day while I am at work and pretty active? I read somewhere that I needed to lower my intake of fluids before going to bed so I will not have to get up in the middle of the night. So I started doing that. Well the person who authored that book apparently forgot the fact that Hannah is using my bladder as her own personal trampoline. I guess this is just preparing me for the late night feedings and getting woken up every 3 to 4 hours. I am by no means complaining about that. I look very much forward to meeting my little girl. In fact, I find myself hoping time will speed up so we can meet our little girl who is such a blessing already. Come on October 1st!!!!
