- excitement of what is to come later in the week?
- knowing you have to return your neighbor's ladder?
- wondering if you are going to slip on saying your future child's name (we are keeping it a secret)
- wondering what the future child is; boy or girl?
- wondering if the clothes in the dryer are really dry or should I put them back through again?
- why I can't seem to get comfortable?
- who the hell thought of the idea of daylight savings again? And, am I the only one suffering?
- how many people know of the two states that don't take part of daylight savings?
- Oh, wait, was that just the baby moving?
- does that mean the baby will be awake this time outside of me?
- really; do I have to pee again?
- maybe I should read? Wait, I don't have a book.
- I want to go to FL? no, I want to visit my sister? maybe I could do a roadtrip or DC?
- If I did go somewhere I would have to prepare for extra bathroom breaks.
- what will work bring me tomorrow?
These are just a few of my random thoughts that kept me up last night. I can't believe that I can't sleep. I know, I can hear it; "Wait until the baby comes"...but here's the thing; I haven't had sleeping problems since college...why are they starting again? Does anyone have any tips on how to catch more zzz's before the baby comes? Really, my mind is going nonstop over silly stuff. I even asked Sean to hold me so I could try to calm myself down (he's such a great husband, he did hold me of course and he tried his best to calm me down). I have been skipping naps which has been horrible...but then when it's time to finally sleep; I can't!

First, your flury or random thoughts confirmed you are a CPL (Crazy Pregnant Lady). Great job!! Second, I gots nothing on the sleeping problem. Best of luck on that one... :-)
Gosh! I have not been pregnant in so long so I cannot help you with the sleeping problems. The only thing I can suggest is maybe getting one of those contraptions that gives off the sounds of the ocean or running water, etc. That may help soothe you.
I checked out your baby site. It is soooo cute! I can't wait to hear what you are having!!!
Not sure if this will help, but I have always heard if your mind is running with a bunch of thoughts or things to do, it helps to write those things down. Keep a notebook next to your bed and write down whatever you are thinking about when you can't sleep.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
I sometimes take Midnight PM, which is herbal so it's not dangerous, although I guess you'd have to check with a doctor if you wanted to take it when you're pregnant. Otherwise, try the old warm-milk-before-bed routine, maybe? Go to bed with headphones on to put something ELSE in your head?
Pot is herbal, too...just sayin' ;-) You may want to take Kate's advise and check with a doctor!
