2am - 2 Days in a Row...

This waking up at 2am thing is really wearing me out! This makes 2 days in a row now where I've woken up around 2am...and usually don't make it back to bed till around 4am... It's becoming quite routine:

- Wake up around 2am
- Lay in bed for about 10 minutes or so
- Get up to go to the bathroom
- Return to bed...and just lay there awake while the baby does somersaults and Scott jerks in his sleep, causing the whole bed to shake
- About 30-45 minutes later, I decide to just get up because I know I won't be falling back asleep any time soon
- I get out of bed, put on my robe, and sit down at the computer to waste an hour or so just surfing the net, waiting for the baby to settle back down...and for me to start feeling tired enough that going back to bed sounds like a good idea
- Around 3:30am or 4am, I crawl back into bed and hope sleep overtakes me...

To say the least, when I wake up in the morning, I feel fine for the first few hours...but eventually, the lack of sleep from the night before catches up with me...and then, I'm just exhausted... On days when I don't work, this means that I usually try and take a nap for an hour or more in the afternoon to help make up for it... But, on days like today, when I have to go to work and don't get the chance to nap, I'm just zapped...

Alright, well, it's about 3:30am now...so it's about time to head back to bed and see if I can't get back to sleep... Here's hoping...
