The ability to sleep
continues to evade me.
Very very frustrating.
Could it be to do with the
fact I’m almost 37weeks preggers and going to the bathroom every 5 mins?
Maybe.
Could also be the disgusting
cold I have at the moment that is impairing my ability to breathe or my clicky
misaligned hips. Or just maybe the 18month old with croup…
I also have a mad case of the
nesting bug so am finding myself awake and going through the mental list of all
that I would like to get done before this bubba comes.
Possible strategies for
combatting this and my words of warning…I may or may not have used every one of
these strategies last night (with differing levels of success)
-Tossing and turning in bed.
Difficult to do without my hips popping out of their socket (or least it feels
that way) and also very annoying for J due to my excessive sighing.
-Getting out of bed and doing
something else. Something appropriate might be reading a book. Note to self: internet time is NOT helpful in
winding down. Painting dining chairs at 2am is also not a good choice.
-Listening to calm music on
the ipod. I have a playlist of calm songs that I used for H-bombs birth. Make
sure it’s set to repeat correct playlist and won’t continue on to Pitbull just
as you are falling asleep.

In the end, I woke J, crying.
He put his arm around me, rubbed my back and prayed for me. I was asleep in
minutes. Sometimes it’s just the simple things.
