sleep deprived already
11:13 a.m. on April 20, 2006
I’m sleep deprived already and the baby isn’t even here yet. I get up every hour on the hour to pee and there is absolutely NO comfortable sleeping position. Sometimes I seriously consider just peeing in the bed and worrying about it later. Better yet, why not just sleep on the toilet since I can only breathe sitting down. One night I even dreamt of a catheter so I could sleep through the night.
I’m not complaining at all. I love and am thankful that I can even be in this “uncomfortable” position again. I’m just worried that if I’m already losing sleep already I’ll be even more sleep deprived when the baby does get here. and then what? I’ll be frazzled and going nuts and I don’t want to be like that. I want to enjoy my baby not be cranky. Maybe baby will be a sleeper like me and enjoy taking cat naps throughout the day and still sleep through the night. I doubt it. The way she moves about at 3 or 4 in the morning tells me she’s gonna be an all-night partier!
6 days and counting...
