Last night I just could not get to sleep! So I got up and went to the office to look up some info on insomnia on the Internet. According to Baby Center, 78% of pregnant women have insomnia. They listed some things to do in order to get to sleep such as having some milk, taking a bath, or having a cup of decaf tea. I tried having milk but it didn't work and earlier in the evening I had a cup of tea. I finally had a fitful sleep of changing from one to side to the other. According to another website, I'm supposed to be sleeping on my left side so that the placenta gets the nutrients to the baby. I may have to resort to sleeping sitting up or on the loveseat with my feet propped up. All day today I had a dull headache. I drank lots of fluids and ate small meals and even rested when I got home from work. I think I'll just have to keep trying different strategies for getting some quality sleep.
Aside from all that, I'm still so happy and excited about our baby girl! I can now refer to it as a "she" when I talk about my baby bump.
