Sleeping

I should be asleep for several reasons...

Last night I couldn't sleep at all and kept waking up feeling like I was suffocating. My sweet husband had turned the a/c to 75. In the middle of the night? Really Bob? So I dropped it to 72 at about 5am and finally went to sleep. Slept right through church and woke up at 9:30am.

Tomorrow night Bob is doing a sleep study and I have never actually spent a night without him since we got married. Even when we had the kids we stayed at the hospital together. And the kids certainly won't sleep because they won't even go to bed until he's home during the week on the nights he works late. Which is okay during the summer but Tuesday mornings during school are not pretty.

And lastly, I should be sleeping because tomorrow night at this time I have no idea what will happen. For all I know this child will be a night owl. He may wake up every 2 hours. (Ironically for the past week I've been waking up at 2am for a minute and then at 4am for 2 hrs. It's weird). I had Jack sleeping 5-7 hrs by 5 weeks and Sydney doing the same by 7 weeks.

But I can't sleep, so I'm sitting here playing Bubbletown while butterflies attack my tummy and waves of anxiety sweep over me when I look into my dining room at the little bassinet that was brought over this afternoon. But I'm sure I'll sleep...eventually...
