Good Morning! Yep, it's 3:50 AM and I've actually been up for about 30 minutes. When I was pregnant with Stella there were definitely a handful of nights during my 3rd trimester that I got up around 4 AM to "nest". The to-do list in my head would wake me and Andy would find that I'd have the whole house clean by the time he woke up. Well, this time Stella usually wakes me. This week she has a cold and wakes up 2-3 times in the middle of the night irritated for one reason or another. Usually I can fall right back asleep. However, if I wake up after 3 AM I'm done and it usually happens about once a week. I stay in bed for about 30 minutes trying to fall back asleep, but the to-do list keeps me up. Until finally, I realize how much time I'm wasting thinking about it and I get up. So I'm off to do bills, update the Christmas card address list, upload some pictures, etc. The good news is that I don't need as much sleep as Andy...so at least it's me and not him. (And I'll definitely be hitting Starbucks on the way to work...warning Baby #2...you're gonna get a caffeine jolt around 7 AM).

I am having the same problem with sleeping lately, but just stay in bed!!!
Are you seriously already in your third trimester?? Wow how time flies!
Make that a ditto for me, too, though! Not sure what wakes me up, but the sheep-counting thing is not working!
