Squirts - I thought we had a talk a few days ago about how I love to sleep? Are you already disobeying me as your parent? I went to bed about midnight last night and at 4:00 am, I was up. I went to the bathroom and got a glass of water and couldn't get back to sleep. Your dad was shocked when I went downstairs at 5:00 to crawl up next to him on the lovesac with the pups. (Your dad gets up at all hours of the night and goes downstairs to watch TV) I made it until 9 when I had to crash until noon. Now, at 8:35 pm, I am exhausted and will be turning in soon.
Normally, I wouldn't do a whole post to complain about waking up at 4:00 am. (OK, you guys already know I am lying since I am a big whiner when it comes to sleep!) However, I had somewhat of a scare this weekend. It was the first time I called the doctor. That isn't too shabby if you think about it - you have been cooking for 14 weeks and this was the first panic button I pushed. Remember how I told you yesterday that I felt you tighten into a ball and ram into my tummy? That feeling hasn't gone away and it is now there all of the time. That, coupled with horrible nightmares during my nap and the inability to keep food down forced me to call the doctor. He thinks you are fine - just stretching and such. Told me to call again if I get sicker - so far today, I have been good - or start having pain. We will see him (and you both) on Tuesday and I think I will feel much better then when you look perfect on the screen rather than just hearing it on the phone and heart rate monitor.
Wonder if I can bribe you for 2 things tonight - the ability to keep my dinner down and a good nights sleep? What is it worth to you both? The promise to let one misbehavior go when you get old enough to be punished? A trip to the zoo? Some ice cream? You name it and I may be up for negotiating!
