I should be.....

SLEEPING!!

Gosh darn it!
It's 12:30am and I am WIDE awake! What is up with my body?? Oh ya I'm pregnant.... still can I catch a break?
Just one night of uninterrupted sleep?
What interrupts me?
Oh more like what doesn't...
IF I am lucky enough to fall asleep, one or more of the following things happen to me.

  • Heartburn.... Holy cow I have never known heartburn to be so brutal. I take Zantac twice a day and 750mg tablets of Tums (2). Doesn't help much, just takes the edge off.
  • Indigestion... which in turn gives me heartburn if I didn't already have it.
  • Charlie horse in my foot. It's the kind where if I just let it happen it would go away a lot faster but I know how bad its gonna hurt so I try to continually flex my foot in hopes it'll go away like that.
  • My neck gets stiff from only being able to sleep on the right side of my body. (Heartburn on back and indigestion on left) Which in turn gives me heartburn.
  • My lovely child. He unfortunately has night terrors and just plain stirs in the night and I hear him over the monitor so it wakes me up. (This doesn't bother me as much as the rest.)
  • Worry. I'll have a weird dream or a dream about how unprepared for this baby we are and then I can't get back to sleep which in turn triggers heartburn. Another reason I worry, leaving Berto for a whole month and a half. I wish I could take him with me. I know this is the best decision but I still wish he could be there with me. My biggest fear is that he'll miss the birth. That's just not a moment you can take back or re-live. I can't think about it too much or I get really sad. I know its for the best that I go back to AZ.
Tonight my problems are:
1. HEARTBURN
2. Indigesiton
3. Headache
4. Charlie horse in my left foot
5. Sore neck
So lets see, I hit 4 of 6 from the list above.
Seriously, its sad. I sound like a reject from a Pepto Bismol commercial.

We are in week 33 and couldn't be more excited to be done.
Mom flies in on Tuesday and we drive back to AZ on Wednesday. So, 3 days.

Call me crazy, I don't care.
Now I look forward to a fun Christmas with Matthew since Berto will be here in CA and then January 1.
Why January1?
Because once that date hits I'm gonna do everything I can to have this baby! I just need to make it to the 1st because Berto will have vacation time to take! Hopefully there is enough room and I don't pop before then. ;)
