I know I have moaned about sleepless nights before but it is slowly but surely scaling new heights. After lying completely wide awake for over 4 hours in bed last night I am beginning to think I need to start a midnight itinery. At numerous points I thought about getting up and doing something like the ironing or some other crazy middle of the night task but I continued to try to count sheep in the hope that I would drop off, i was so knackered after all. So god knows when I did eventually go to sleep…

I think next time I should just forget about normality and just get up and do something, it has to be better than staring into bedroom darkness waiting for the sandman to come…

Leave the ironing. Don’t carry that it’s too heavy. And when you pick something up off the floor, BEND YOUR KNEES!

How do you get someone to realise they are pregnant?

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Well its not a myth after all, my ankles are truly swollen…not quite tree trunks but not far off!!! I will look like a log soon enough..aaaAAAhhhh hehe

It looks like the sleepless nights are starting early. Maybe its all part of the preparation for b-day. If I have to gradually get used to not sleeping now, maybe it’ll be less of a culture shock later…or something..

All I know is that I have two big carrier bags underneath my eyes that are full with z’s that didn’t get out last night, and for the past previous nights too. Either I keep waking up extremely sore hips, or to junior giving me a few big kicks (why is it that the kicks seem lot stronger at 4am?!). And if I want to turn over, its like somekind of nightly weight lifting…I have to wake up lift my belly over with me to turn over, otherwise it stays put where it is, like a big sack of spuds!

And I still have nearly 3 months left! Be prepared for lots of moaning..!
