How Appropriate
It's 1:20 AM and I am surfing. I had been in bed, pretty happily, having fallen asleep watching Dallas beat Green Bay (I was happy about the sleeping, I mean, not that I had any vested interest in who won that game). But about an hour ago Andy came to bed, and I woke up enough to acknowledge my heartburn, my discomfort, my kicking son, and the fact that I'm too hot with the covers on, and too chilly with them off. So, here I am on the couch, killing time and waiting for the sleepiness to come again. As I clicked over to week 33 (what I turned today) on "What to Expect" I found the topic pretty ironic. Or maybe the word is poignant?

Week 33 of Pregnancy: Insomnia
How unfair — that when you need it the most, you can't get it. You keep on telling yourself it's the last opportunity for a long, long time (at least until your baby's sleeping through the night). But you still can't get any. No, not sex, woman — sleep! Third-trimester insomnia strikes more than 75 percent of expectant moms — very tired expectant moms. All the hormonal changes, the midnight treks to the bathroom, the leg cramps, the heartburn that won't quit, the fact that you can't get comfortable when you're in bed with a watermelon where your tummy used to be, and the anxiety you're likely feeling about the impending birth of your baby (and the fact that you still haven't decided on a name for your baby) all contribute to your inability to catch some satisfying z's.
