I am so tired, but I can't sleep. The fun of late pregnancy. It's hard to get comfortable and stay that way... and just when I think I've got the sweet spot, my bladder starts screaming at me. This little girl is a night owl and she LOVES to get right below my ribs and push. Then there's the heartburn...Zantac has been working, but not so well tonight. Gotta love when a dinner of 4 bites of chicken, mashed potatoes, and one piece of bread gives you intense burning - I'm just glad we didn't have mexican! But the benefit of all of this will be a wonderful little girl to love on. I am getting good practice of functioning on little sleep again.
I think the worst part for me is that I struggle to shut my brain off - always have at night. I often fall asleep with the TV on just loud enough to drown out my thoughts. I relive the day, process news I've received, and such...and that can get me in to trouble. I can make more of something than it needs to be. I can work myself into a frenzy over something that was nothing - at least until I thought about all the different ways it could have been taken. And being a hormonal pregnant woman only makes this worse! I do get a lot planned at night, but then I wonder if I'll ever remember when I wake up in the morning.
Tonight, I finally just gave up and came out to the couch. I've done a Sudoku (yes, we are hooked in our house), but still sleep will not come. So, I thought I would share this fun with you who choose to read this blog... please don't feel sorry for me, just pray for rest... and now I think I will mess with my template and see I can't bore myself into sleep!

I like the new template...although I am sad that it came because of lack of sleep. It's just the Lord getting you ready for the lack of in a few weeks...I know, it doesn't make sense, just when you want to sleep and rest the most! :)
I can't wait to hear about Elizabeth...you still have my cell phone, right?
