Didn't Work :(

Well, it doesn't seem like anything's happening after the doctor stripped my membranes. I had such hope, but I haven't had much more than some spotting and more braxton hicks contractions! I guess I'm just going to have to wait some more. I'm feeling a bit impatient because I really, really don't want to be induced. I have heard so many scary things about the medication they give to induce you because it makes labour so crazy painful. I'm sure the doctor will threaten me with induction at my next visit if nothing has happened, so I'm hoping that we have the baby before then!

And...once again I am up in the early morning hours unable to sleep! It seems that I get a few days of really good sleep and then all of a sudden my body says "you don't need anymore sleep". It's getting pretty frustrating, I just want to sleep when I'm tired.

I guess that's enough ranting and complaining for today. I am going to try to go back to bed and sleep now.

Oh So Tired!

Here I am once again, sleepless in the middle of the night. Tonight between my hubby's snoring (which I might note is getting worse) and my daughter being up twice screaming for no apparent reason, I can't sleep. I have earplugs that I can use and lately they aren't even working. I am hoping that once the baby is here I am tired enough to sleep, otherwise I may just go crazy.

Thankfully my husband and I are headed to the mountains in Jasper for a few days this week, so hopefully a change of scenery and the mountain air will help me get some good sleep in. I guess I must just be feeling sorry for myself, but I am an really unhappy person if I miss out on sleep. Overtired and pregnant is even worse because when I am tired and pregnant I feel physically ill and get terrible headaches.

Oh well, what can I do? I'm just going to stay wake a bit longer and try to make myself more tired so that I can sleep.

One of Those Mornings!

Wow, what a day I am having! Our daughter woke up every couple of hours last night, so I was up with her 4 times. Then she was up for the day at 5am! She had no reason to wake up so many times, she just wasn't sleeping soundly. I am so exhausted.... and grouchy.

Then there was the usual toothbrushing fight that ended in 2 time-out's in her room and me bursting into tears right along with her! Probably the combination of lack of sleep and frustration just got to me.

We went to my parents house for a visit this morning and Ceili fell asleep on the way home in the car. I got her into her bed and she is still sleeping almost 2 hours after she initially fell asleep. When we got home, I was starving so I decided to make myself lunch. By the time I was done lunch I figured I only had about a half an hour to sleep so I decided to forgo the nap today. Guess I was wrong! Oh well, I will sleep well tonight.

All I can say is thank god my hubby will be home tomorrow night!
