Insomnia + RLS = Sleep FAIL

In the last 48 hours, I have slept for 10. I wish I could say it was due to labor but alas, it’s due to insomnia + RLS. The worst was waking up Friday morning at 5am and not falling asleep until … 2am, this morning. Thank God Greg and his mom are doing shifts in terms of taking care of Elise and working on the house. I’ve been sleeping off and on all morning, making sure that I’m at least fed and watered. I think this is how it will be when Little One gets here, minus Greg working on the house. But having Greg in charge of … almost everything and me just recovering and taking care of Little One.
Thanks be to God, Little One is old enough that if I go into labor between now and … Thursday, we won’t have to be relocated to a larger hospital up the Interstate. The local hospital can take babies 36 weeks and older. I’m trying not to think about being pregnant for potentially a month more (or longer). I really hope Little One has the same idea Elise did, which is coming early.
My mom is convinced I’ll deliver on February 25th. Unless things start doing … anything in the uterine department, I’m thinking Little One will be a March baby. I’m hoping for the first part of March as opposed to the last part. The scary thing is that if Little One were to go overdue, we could technically have an April baby. God help me if I go overdue. 
Back to bed, I’m beyond exhausted.

Just re-reading your Ash Wednesday post… I definitely get the feeling that the Other Side really hates Lent, don’t you? The last week or so has been horrific around here, just unreasonably and unexplainably so, in weird and unpredictable ways. It’s a relief to read that it’s not just me who thinks that there’s more to it than just random bad luck!
But the gift at the end of our forty days is more than worth it, too.

Well, it stinks that the Other Side has been bugging you lately, but I feel less like a loon now that someone else has been bothered.
I think anytime we try and get closer to Our Lord or even just root out faults that keep us from loving Him as we ought; the Other Side puts up quite a fight and all sorts of weirdness happens! Prayers headed your way.
