When I was at the doctor's office last week we talked about the fact that I am not sleeping and the Tylenol PM is not doing anything for me anymore. My doctor wrote out a prescription for Ambien which I was a little skeptical about taking. I took one last night and I actually slept!!! I didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning (okay, so I did get up twice in the night to go to the bathroom but fell back asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow). I have no idea how long it has been that I have been able to sleep an entire night. I love it! I could get used to sleeping through the night...too bad I am going to have a newborn next week to keep me up!! Really I am just kidding about the newborn thing, I can't wait for Joshua to be here and will give up a few hours of sleep for him.
I really though Joshua was going to be born on Friday. I had contractions 5 minutes apart, some a little closer, for about three hours on Friday morning. I should have just gone to the hospital but I kept putting it off and they eventually stopped. Now all I can think about is the fact that I might have been able to have him on Friday and I would have a two day old baby now instead of still being miserable and pregnant!! I have tried to get the contractions to come back that close together but so far I have failed. Trust me, next time I have contractions 5 minutes apart for longer than 30 minutes I will be at the hospital trying to convince them to let me have the baby!!!!
