:o(
Am now going through a Lady Macbeth kind of phase- not really filled with soliloquies and "out! damned spot"-ing but walking around because I can't sleep (despite 1/2 closed eyes) and I keep rubbing the bump.
Speaking of which, my child has upped the activity inside...plenty of moving around. Plenty. And having seen the inside of a human body, I have constant images of bumper cars inside me.
But this sleep thing apparently prepares one (read me) for the vagaries of a child's sleep cycle and is Nature's way of giving me a heads-up of similar months to come. Nature has a mean streak :(
But this is now it's getting to me...am slightly dull by 10 am, dead tired by 1 pm and fighting off sleep by 2 pm. I regain my energy only around 7ish just to conk off between 10-11 pm each night.
And Red sleeps through it all...he can have diaper duty for the 1st year or so. Will take it up after the potty-training phase.
But the odd thing is, I've been thinking that despite the initial hiccups...this is a very very special time (for lack of a better word). The sensations, the emotions are practically indescribable and I might want to go down this road again.
*Ask me again in 6 months and I'll probably throw the diaper bag at your head*
Now let me go and trawl the internet for pals on the other side of the world and make 'em talk to me...
