Insomnia!

OH MY GOD! HOW am I still pregnant?!

That's exactly how I feel right now. That is how I've felt all day. Over the past two days my body has completely shifted into low and heavy mode. The belly is larger, lower and extra heavy. It is difficult to walk, to sit, to move around when I lie down. I am sitting on my yoga ball situated at the side of the bed with my iPad in front of me as I type this blog. It is pretty much the only comfortable way to sit now.

Since it is technically June 26th where I sit, I am due tomorrow. Will our baby girl grace us with her presence? I HOPE SO! I had some pretty nice contractions this morning that I "blame" on the nice back massage I got the night before. They were lasting through my walking and other movement and my shower. That is GOOD! But they didn't last too long. I came home from taking my daughter to her GATE program at around 8:10am and was in bed for a nap by 9:30am. I slept through the contractions. Bummer. I can't complain much though... all of these practice contractions are working out my uterus, preparing me for labor. The more, the better!

Now I can't sleep. I had two naps today. My morning nap was about 2 hours and my afternoon nap was a lousy half-sleep but it was about 2 hours more. SO, I should be sleepy, right? I was just making up for lost sleep from the night before. I'm just not tired now. Or maybe I am, but I can't sleep. I keep yawning and sleep SOUNDS nice but I am SO uncomfortable right now that I can't even get situated to sleep. Not cool, body. Also, the baby is moving around all floppy-like in my belly and she is so big that her movements are huge too. She rocks the bed! No kidding.

I have my next doctor appointment tomorrow so please help me out here... do what you do. Hope, pray, wish that I have this baby on my due date! PLEASE! I will be forever grateful!
