Pregnancy Insomnia

I am usually a GREAT sleeper. Pre-pregnancy that is. I used to be able to sleep anywhere, anytime, and never woke up during the night. It was great. The past week now, I have been waking up around 3 or 4am, and have not been able to get back to sleep! This morning it was 2am....should make for an interesting day. I usually lay in bed for about an hour and try to sleep, but it's impossible when I have a million thoughts running through my head. Mostly about things I should get done, or freaking out that I only have 3 more weeks until D-day! So a few of the "important" things I have been thinking about this morning:

  • I just realized that at 24 years old now, I am basically halfway to 50 years old. Now that's depressing! And that's how old I will be when my daughter is my age. Birthdays are no fun anymore!!
  • I am so sick of my maternity clothes, and I can't wait to wear all of my old clothes again! Hopefully they fit one day soon!
  • I also can't wait to sleep on my back again. This side-only stuff is killing me
  • I need to start sewing once we get moved again. That's a whole other story I haven't explained yet. Yes we are moving again around sept 15th, and yes, my due date is sept 18th. geeze louise
  • I can't decide on what to dress our baby up as for Halloween. I got a ladybug costume at a yard sale this summer, but I'm not sold on it anymore. It seems like there are only 4 main costumes for babies: 1) bumblebee 2) pumpkin 3) pea in a pod 4) ladybug. Do I let my baby be an individual, or follow the crowd for her first Halloween? Decisions, decisions.
  • Our baby is still nameless! Poor thing will be lucky if she has one before coming home from the hospital.
  • I miss our old apartment.
  • I miss seattle.

That's enough of my deep thoughts while suffering from pregnancy insomnia. Now that I've blogged, checked email, surfed and washed the dishes, I might try sleeping again. Wish me luck

What cute photos and fun stories!!! You better get used the the insomnia, cuz unfortunately it never goes away... :-( We miss you guys, we realize now what loners we are now that our only friends have moved. We are excited to see the little squirt, I'm sad we have to wait until Christmas to see her in person. Good luck with school, baby, moving... etc. We miss you and love you.

I feel your pain. Being pregnant is not fun. I just wish it would be possible to let Brian be pregnant for a day so he would know what I was going through.

Man, me too! It happened to me on one of our visits home, like exactly the same! I don't know what Ezra will be either. I saw a really cute honey pot costume on craigslist though. I was so happy the first time I got home and realized there wasn't a big bubble in the way of me laying down. Its so fun to have the bubble laying next to you instead!
