36 Weeks Pregnant and I Can’t Sleep!

By Christina | October 30, 2007

2am and awake today. Okay, a little insomnia, who doesn’t experience that once in awhile? So, I try to relax, shut my brain down and get back to sleep. No luck, so I turn to television, what is on at this hour?  Thankfully, Will and Grace is on. Half an hour later I am still awake.  Ugh… Okay, now this pregnant body of mine is hungry.  So my body is up, the baby is kicking, my brain is on alert and I am having hunger pangs.  Might as well get up - a decision I am sure to regret within a few hours.

My soon to be daughter seems intent on not just having a spicy egg and cheese sandwich but nesting is in high gear as well. So, I as I started tp clean the kitchen I saw the refrigerator needed a once over and then of course, as I opened the microwave to make my coffee, I saw “splatter”!  EGADS!  36 weeks pregnant, nesting and splatter do not go together… so what was there for me to do besides clean? 

That brings me here, 321am and laptop is open and so I might as well work.  If anyone else is out there and awake with a similar - or completely different - scenario, let me know.
