insomnia

i got out of bed at 3:37am. i'm not sleeping well these days ...

i'm sitting in our little boy's new room -- it's completely unfinished. however, it does have the biggest, comfiest blue glider in it and it's currently treating me very well. i know we'll be spending a lot of late nights and early mornings in this thing.

my mind is just racing -- and i know it's normal and typical for this stage of pregnancy. i think about all the little things i need to do before the baby gets here -- and all the big things, like buying a car seat, packing a hospital bag, taking some childbirth classes.

it also doesn't help that we watched a creepy espisode of "medium" before going to bed ... i woke myself up with a disturbing dream. and, once i'm even slightly awake, my bladder calls.

after heaving myself and the belly out of bed (and waking up poor J), i stumble to the bathroom. after that begins the process of settling into bed again -- pillow here, pillow there, stuffed animal here. the little guy kicks me again as he settles back into place, too. then, my mind start to race again ...

so, i gave in tonight and got out of bed. i've been surfing the web, buying FLOR for our living room, checking my regular blogs, cleaning out my email inbox. i keep hearing weird noises -- new house noises. we have so many windows -- it's kind of creepy to look out to a silent, dim world. is there someone/something out there? what was that noise?

at 5:00 am, my poor husband stumbles out and asks me to come back to bed.

ok, i'll give it another shot. caution: heavy load coming through ....
