#$@%!!! Insomnia

I was appalled for my friend Liz who spent the last two months of her pregnancy averaging 4 hours of sleep per night. "Poor poor girl" I thought to myself. She always managed to look rested and relaxed during the day, patient with her 3 year old child and generally amiable. I was amazed.

Now that I am in my last two months I am appalled for myself, as I am finding my nights mired in the ridiculousness of pregnancy insomnia. I am exhausted, yet wide awake at 1, 2, 3 AM.

Apparently the three and a half hours of sleep I crammed in between tosses and turns last night left me so refreshed I couldn't possibly fall asleep now.

I, unlike Liz, do not compose myself smoothly and with a good nature on anything under a solid 8 hours of sleep. I am confident that I feel no worse than she, but am struggling poorly to mask it like she was successful doing.

Luckily, this baby will be out soon and I can get in a couple three hour naps a night...

Thank goodness eliot and Garret are phenomenal kids, and superstar nappers!
