I awoke at 3:25 AM this morning.  Normally, I toss and turn all night long.  Let's not forget the 432 bathroom breaks plus one dog waking me up to go outside to look for baby rabbits.  So, a good night's sleep has been out of the question for about 28 weeks now.  This morning however, was a bit unusual.

I opened my eyes and literally could not fall back asleep.  So annoying.  More annoying?  The burning acid that has been hanging out in my throat for the past 24 hours.  Worse than that?  Cramps.  Fucking awesome.  I decided to get out of bed and hit up the TV room for some Teen Mom action.  Good thing Kasia woke up to keep me company.  Sidenote-- in the wee hours of the morning, Kasia's ears are extra soft and cold, which in turn equals maximum pliability.

After catching up on a Teen Mom episode, I did two loads of laundry and watered the flowers out front.  By this time it was 5:30 and Chris' alarm was going off.  If this is a snapshot into life with a newborn, I can handle it.  What I can't handle is the exhaustion that set in around 6:30.  Holy shit.  I laid back down just as Chris left for work and couldn't stay awake.  My boss is in the office today, so there was no way I could work from home.

It is now 10:30 AM.  I still have cramps and am hungry.  A toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese sounds delicious.  There is no way I'm going to make it to the afternoon.  I need my sweatpants and I need them now.
