Insomnia

So for the past few nights I have been waking up around 2 or 3:00 a.m. like clock work for no reason at all. Is this another pregnancy symptom? There have been quite a few fun ones that I've been experiencing so this wouldn't surprise me. I can live with the constant back aches and the swollen feet that give me cankles and that my toes look like fat little cannolis. I've even come to terms with the fact that I don't look pregnant yet, I'm still in that is she or isn't she awkward stage where I feel like I just look fat. But waking up this early every day? Come on, seriously? I'm hoping that maybe it's just the fact that I haven't been feeling good and maybe that's why I can't sleep. Or maybe it's my body's way of preparing me for the many sleepless nights to come once baby H is here. Either way, mamma just wants to sleep!

Another thing that is driving me crazy, congestion. Apparently, for some people, you can experience congestion while pregnant. Well I've got it in full force. It's so bad that I can hardly breathe some nights and I snore like a trucker. I feel for Clint. He always used to be the one that snored and I'd have a fit about it and now that it's me I've been giving him the same excuse he always gave me "what do you want me to do, I can't help it." Sudafed has helped and I think I'm going to ask Clint to get out the humidifier. Apparently we have a humidifier. I never knew that until recently. Might as well get that bad boy down and put it to good use.

Well, I think that's it for my 2 a.m rant. I feel like I've been complaining alot and I don't mean to. I just wasn't expecting all of these little things that have been popping up. But don't misunderstand me, I am truly, honestly and whole heartedly greatful for this pregnancy and this baby and no matter what it gives me I will take it all, gladly. Not to mention I started this blog not only as a means to keep people informed on how everything is going, but to also give me an outlet. Sort of like an online journal so that I can come here and spout out random nonesense and I don't have to bother Clint with it 24-7. I'm sure he appreciates it.

Well, looks like I'm going to turn on the tube and watch some infomercials. You know who doesn't have trouble sleeping? Max. He is sprawled out next to me snoring his head off with not a care in the world. Must be nice to be a dog.

Oh, and did I mention I am ALWAYS hungry? Always, all day long. I could eat my weight in cheetos. But I haven't. Trying to stay healthy with a few indulgences here and there. I think I'm going to go eat some pickles.
