I'm having a little bit of a problem with sleep. It is no longer the issue of just not being able to get comfortable at night -- I've gotten over that even though it still is uncomfortable. The problem now is just not being able to sleep. I'm thinking that whole nesting thing has kicked in. With two and half weeks until my due date, I've suddenly become a little bit frantic over all that needs to be done at home and work before this baby gets here. So at night when I lay down to sleep, my mind starts racing with all these little last minute details. Then I fall asleep for a few hours. Then, I wake up (usually due to needing to use the bathroom) and my brain starts going again. This usually happens around 5 am, which keeps me up for a couple of hours until Marc gets up for work. Then I'm able to fall asleep due to exhaustion for another hour or so. But last night I woke up at 2 am, and was at first determined to stay in bed and make myself fall back asleep. Finally, I got up and began organizing everything in the baby's room for a couple of hours. Even after that, when I came back to bed I still didn't fall asleep again for awhile. This is driving me crazy. The bags under my eyes are starting to become unmanageable. I know the lack of sleep is going to be so much worse with a newborn, so really I should be storing up for the famine that is to come, right?
On a funnier note, when I was coming back to bed one of the many times last night, I accidently knocked over the cup of water on my nightstand. Marc woke up frantically saying, "Marcee? Marcee? Did your water just break?"
