It seems I’m doomed not to get a full night’s sleep until this baby arrives. Well ... until the baby decides to sleep through the night and who knows when that will happen.

I got home later than normal last night because of horrible traffic and was feeling pretty ill by the time I managed to eat something and go upstairs to change clothes. So I changed into my PJs and crawled into bed. I watched election stuff until I dozed off at about 9pm. Beau came to bed at 10pm with the pending bad news. I barely lifted an eyelid, rolled over and went back to deep sleep. Until about 12:30am… At 2am I gave up and got up, headed to my recliner in the basement, and turned on the TV to watch more election coverage. I watched and watched, waiting to get drowsy. No go. I did eventually doze off at about 5am, but didn’t fall into deep sleep because I was afraid of oversleeping. At 6:15am I went back upstairs to start getting ready for work.

At this point, I’m starting to get very tired. I think the drive home will be very long. And I’m headed straight to bed again.

I’m going to ask my doc about getting a sleep aid. I need to sleep more than a couple of hours a night. I’m exhausted.

*yawn*

1. Have you tried melatonin? I take a melatonin supplement about an hour before bed and it’s really been helpful. (That said, even with something natural, you should probably run it by your doc...just might be easier on you than other sleepaids.)

2. I’ve thought about that. I still have the bottle we bought for Annie. It’s one of the things I plan to ask my doc about at my next appointment.
