Pregnancy induced insomnia

Ah, yes, another sleepless night.  I was up at around 430 am yesterday and I went to bed around 145 this morning and up again at 9am.  The only reason I got up is because my husband came in and kissed me and said, “It’s quarter to nine,” which implies that #1:  He’s late for work #2: It’s time for me to take my medication/eat #3:  You’re not sleeping all day and up all night…

I will get through this, as every pregnant woman does.  It is a well known fact that no woman has STAYED pregnant forever!

I need to go to Target to get some stuff for some kids that are coming to my baby shower.  They are going to be pretty young kids…but I think they can handle crayons and a color book…or I sure hope so…I also have been invited to one of my husband’s co-workers kid’s 2nd birthday party this evening and I need to find something for her.  Something cute!  Maybe I can find a sweet outfit for her or a game for her to play?

Random off topic subject…I think I spend WAY too much time on the computer/facebook…I gave up myspace for the same reason back in 2007/2008 and started blogging on a regular basis.  I don’t think that I’m going to be giving up facebook anytime soon…but I do need to cut back significantly…I’ve gotten very VERY lazy these days and there is a lot of cleaning up than needs to have happen…should I say “NESTING”  In desperate need of nesting!!  I want to start in the dining room and work my way back to the kitchen to the living room and then upstairs and then downstairs…I really don’t want to deal with downstairs…it’s a mess…clothes everywhere that NEED to be either washed or folded/put away…

Yeah, well, I’ll do it later…always later…

Now you don’t see it, now you do…

My daughter is a cheeky little thing–at 33 weeks gestation!  This is the best series of pictures in the world!  This is how the sonographer got her photos today!  Of course, I have to show them off!  I love this kid so much and she’s not even born yet–but that’s not to say that she’s not going trying to come sooner.  She’s in a head down position and pre-term labor contractions have started in earnest.  Doc is trying to hold off labor for a few weeks, but said that he’d cheer us on in about three weeks!

Keep your hands and feet in the car at all times!

What to talk about…what to talk about

I’m as inconsistent as ever.  I knew I would be, when it came down to me starting to blog again.  It’s been such a long time since I blogged on a regular basis.  I started a new blog (which I have already transferred over here) when I was going through IVF and nursing school–my”journeys.”  The fact that I’m no longer in nursing school…I had to drop out for my pregnancy and I’ve finished with IVF–now just expecting…I guess I could talk about just the normal aches and pains of pregnancy…but who REALLY gives a shit?  Besides, the vast majority of women on earth will get to experience this on their own, if they want to.

I have been so tired lately that I haven’t read any good books lately.  I bought a book the other day called “Staying at Daisey’s” and I haven’t even gotten to the end of the 1st chapter, yet.  I can only read a few pages sentences at a time before I feel like I am going to pass out.  Even as I type this, I am feeling quite exhausted and feel the need for a nap.

My diabetes is okay.  I feel as though I am starting to chase my blood sugars, in an effort to keep them down.  I had kind of an off day yesterday and my numbers reflected that.  This morning, I had the same thing I have everyday and my numbers were high, but not out of the normal range…just higher than they have been.  My blood pressure has been a little off and ended up in the ER with my BP 168/100.  The doctor increased my meds, so maybe that’s why I’m feeling off?  I don’t know.  I did notice that after the trip to the ER, my blood sugars were high and it’s been a mess ever since…

Well, I think I am going to go take a shower and see if that helps me feel better.
