I think she's gonna be in here for a while

In here meaning my ute. I feel like the baby settled in a nice comfortable spot and is camping out there until she sees fit. I really think she wants to be cooked untill her EDD or later. *sigh*. I think I'm going to start mandatory walks on myself.

Today I went to the doc, all is perfect it seems. Tomorrow, I go in for my last u/s due to the baby's 2 vessel cord (will make a post about this later to explain). Anyway, K is coming with me and he is excited because he'll be seeing the baby on the u/s screen again.

FYI - I'm 37 weeks and 3 days today. 17 days left tomorrow... OH.EM.GEE

Pregnancy Insomnia

For the past week. I've been tired yet too anxious to fall asleep at night. No nesting involved. I just sit there and stare at the ceiling hoping to God I fall asleep eventually. I keep thinking about the baby and what other things I have left to do.

Its borderline obsessive. In the past 7 days this has been my schedule.

• Fall asleep at 5am
• Wake up at noon or 1pm
• Try to fall asleep at midnight
• Fall Asleep at 5am
• .........and it repeats

It sucks. My internal clock has shifted. I know I'm tired. I can hardly keep my eyes open but finally "letting go" and going off into dreamland is proving difficult these days. I'm not sure what is causing it but I hope it stops soon. I feel like I'm running on empty.

I've tried some remedies... taking a shower at night, aromatherapy, getting K to massage my feet. There are days that duue to the utter exhaustion, by the time 6pm rolls around - I DO get sleepy. However, if I do fall asleep at that time - the insomnia seems to be worse the next couple of days. So I try to hold out but eventually I just fall back into my 5AM ritual
