So my day started quite poorly at about 3am when I couldnt sleep. This was most inconvenient as I had planned to be up and refreshed by 7 (when hubby left for work) so that I could walk the dog, tidy up and sort a few things out before going in to town to meet some friends for coffee. Instead it meant my morning really began at 9am when I dragged my groggy self out of bed and promised the dog a decent walk.
Well, it turns out that extra napping between 5.30am and 9am helped a great deal! I feel like Ive done plenty! Washing - done. Friends visit - done, particularly detailed catch up! Hubby's birthday shopping - partially done. Vaccination - done (even if it was a little painful!)
I keep reading that my insomnia is linked to being uncomfortable in bed and having lots on my mind - both fair comments but I am usually a sleep monster and my discomfort isnt that bad and Im feeling organised so my brain isnt whirring at night (at the moment!). Lots of parents have told me that it is my body getting me prepared for the baby coming. I cant see this myself, however the baby is extremely active at this time of the night/morning. (Its the only thing that doesnt keep me from pulling my hair out!)
So, I am wondering - fellow parents - is it possible that the baby's waking time now will reflect its waking time once it's born?
