Pregnancy is a never-ending roller coaster. I'm up one day and able to get things done and I try to leave the house and be productive if not exercise. The next day (or FOUR!) I'm in bed asleep from the time I get back from taking the 12-year-old to school until it's time to pick her up. That is about 8am to almost 2pm. Seriously guys, that is a LOT of sleep. I might add that I'm also going to bed at around 11pm and I wake up at 6am. I actually wake up at 4-4:30am to pee because, well, because I'm pregnant and the baby is up then. All put together, that is about 11 hours of sleep per day/night. WOW! Also, I don't feel like I can miss any of this sleep. If I do, I am more sick, more tired, and more cranky than ever! It is not good for me or anyone around me.
I am secretly hoping that when baby girl is born, her active schedules stay the same as they are currently while I'm pregnant. Typically she is very active between 8:30pm and 11pm and again at 4am until 7 am. Those time slots work VERY well for me and I'd love for them to continue. I can dream, can't I?
She has definitely grown a bit this week. I am having to take my asthma inhaler most nights before bed so I can get a sufficient breath. Yesterday I had to use it twice. Tomorrow I will go see the midwife and discuss my placenta previa issue and also get the results of my 3 hour glucose tolerance test. Cross your fingers that I passed! I don't want gestational diabetes but I AM constantly sleepy and craving the sugar. Those things combined don't sound promising to me but we'll see.
We got a few really good new things in for baby girl in the past two weeks so I'll be posting a blog about them soon!
