If you think this blog is going to alternate between whining complaints and descriptions of coping mechanisms until the baby comes, well... you might just be right.
Anyway, last night I went to bed at 9:30, being virtuously tired after the day's work, only to find that I couldn't get to sleep at all until about 1:30 a.m. After which point I awakened every hour on the half hour, thanks to hot swollen feet, leg cramps and tremors, intermittent nausea, and a really irritating kids' song called "(Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring) Bananaphone"* running through my head. And since those are the only two words of the song I know and I only know two lines of the music, you may be able to imagine just how irritating it was...
(Oh heaven help us, there is a flash animation to this song. With the ubiquitous badgers, even. Shoot me now.)
Anyway, like I said, awful night. If I'm going to be up every hour I at least want a hungry baby to justify it, kthxbai...
