Paying for it
Posted by Alli on January 13, 2009
Sunday night I had the best night of sleep I have had in months. Even thought I still had to get up a few times to go to the bathroom, I still woke up Monday feeling very rested.
I had errands to run on Monday, and I took it slowly, taking a break at Chik-fil-a. I thought I had turned a corner when I got home in the afternoon and my first thought was not to take a nap. By 6 p.m. I was amazed that I actually felt good. No contractions, pressure, or cramping. I had energy and felt pretty happy.
And then I went to bed. I woke up to a few contractions and cramping and couldn’t go back to sleep after they stopped. I ended up watching the end of Tess of the D’Ubervilles on PBS and falling asleep again around 5.
Today I stayed home all day, rested, felt the baby flipping around, and lived through various levels of uncomfortable. I really felt like because I had such a great night and day yesterday, today I was paying for it.
I need patience and courage to get through these next weeks. I keep thinking how I felt at the end of my pregnancy with Fuller and I felt this crappy on the day my water broke, and really only on that day. So my fear every day is “this is it!” and while I’m feeling “done” I just don’t think it is time.
Right now, I hoping tonight is a good night.
