That's how much sleep I got last night. Full-on insomnia has struck. I made the mistake of taking a nap yesterday after work (about 45 min) and so I was wide awake until 11:30. I felt sleepy, went to bed and then laid there for about an hour before getting up. I didn't make it back to bed until around 3:30. Urg. I'll try my hardest NOT to nap today so I can break the cycle.
I also felt what I am guessing was a real live contraction yesterday. It was not the typical Braxton-Hicks tightening, but more like a cramp lower in the uterus, lasting for about 60 seconds. I wouldn't say I was in tremendous pain, but there was a significant difference between this and a BH. I did practice breathing through it. It was the only one, but I had several more BH later. I've been sitting on an exercise ball sometimes at night while watching tv, rocking back and forth which helps with my restless feet and legs. I can imagine it will be very helpful during labor because my pelvis feels very open when I sit on it (open in a good way, not the painful way it used to when the SPD was really bad).
I got to speak with Timon and Henry from here last night. They went canoeing yesterday with the big group of family members and had a blast. Henry's been enjoying all the good eats up there (basically my favorite part of going on this trip) and has had a few ice cream cones - which give him the amount of joy equivalent to giving me diamonds, basically. He talked to me for about 2 minutes before he said, "Um, Mommy, I want to say goodbye now." I guess he's enjoying himself.
Happy Birthday, Avery!
Happy Trail-aversary, Chad!
