What My Nights Look Like

• 11:30 - finally go to bed after trying to delay it because I know I won't be able to sleep
• 12:30 - fall asleep for the first time
• 1:15 - wake up with aching shoulder/back, pee, roll over (the rolling over alternates the aching from one side to the other and provides temporary relief)
• 1:20 - fall back asleep
• 1:45 - wake up with aching shoulder/back, pee, roll over
• 1:50 - fall back asleep
• 2:15 - wake up with aching shoulder/back, roll over, fall back asleep
• 2:45 - wake up, pee, roll over
• 2:50 - fall back asleep
• 3:30 - wake up, pee, roll over
• 3:35 - fall back asleep
• 5:15 - wake up, celebrate that I actually slept for almost 2 straight hours (but don't get too excited, because it might keep me from going back to sleep again!), pee, roll over
• 5:20 - wonder why there are birds outside chirping even though the sun has not come up?  what kind of birds are these?
• 5:30 - start getting annoyed that I'm not falling back asleep
• 6:30 - decide that I'm just not going to fall back asleep and get up, eat some breakfast, drink a big glass of water, watch television in the recliner
• 8:45 - try going back to bed
• 8:50 - fall back asleep
• 9:45 - wake up, pee, roll over, fall back asleep
• 10:45 - wake up and stay up (at least until my 2 o'clock nap)

Jason actually started sleeping in the guest bedroom this week because he can't get any sleep with all of my rolling over (which involves multiple pillows and lots of complaining grunts) and my snoring (because I apparently have insane pregnancy congestion).

At least once the babies get here, I will be somewhat used to sleep deprivation... maybe.

And, yes, they are still worth every sleepless night.  =)
