Sleep!! I need it!

It's so frustrating. This weekend, Chris' parents had Carter for possibly his last hurrah up there before the new baby comes. It was WONDERFUL to sleep in on Saturday and Sunday. While my nights' sleep isn't as restful as I would like, I still felt good because of the lateness I had to get up. Today was back to reality. The alarm went off this morning and I felt like utter crapola. I had woken up several times in the night and once I had even contemplated getting up to eat or something, I just couldn't get back to sleep. So, when I had to get up this morning, I was not a happy camper.

Sleeping just is not comfortable right now. I have this huge knot in my neck from sleeping on one side or the other, but I can't figure out which. I can't sleep on my back which is the position that my body seems to want to go. On my back, my neck relaxes and my back doesn't hurt. On my sides, the back hurts and I get pains in my legs. UGH!! Four more weeks.

At least once the baby comes, I'll be able to hopefully get a few hours of decent sleep at a time. I'm sure she will be a non-sleeper since Carter was so easy-peasey, but anything will be better than this right now.

Went to the doctor on Friday. Everything looks great. I told him about the few days that I have had where I was having some hard contractions and he looked at me and said, "Sounds like you are pregnant!" You know, it was all I could do from clocking him upside the head. I know he was just trying to make light of the situation since it really is nothing to be worried about, but wow. I'm now going every week and I'm assuming they will start checking for any progress from here on out. Not that I expect anything to start considering last time I didn't do ANYTHING down there.

But, no matter what, even if she decides that she's ready to come out early, four weeks from today, I will either be in the hospital or home with my little one. Hard to believe!
