Ode to Sleep....

First off, Happy 26 weeks to Baby Bally!! I can hardly believe how fast these weeks go by - 28 weeks is the start of the 3rd trimester, so we are definitely getting there :)

This isn't really going to be an 'ode' to sleep - more of just sharing with you that I think pregnancy might just try and prepare us for motherhood a little bit... specifically in the category of sleep. It is now officially getting very difficult to find a sleeping position that's comfortable, so this momma-to-be wakes up with a sore back every night! Not to mention, my dreams are out of control, and this morning I woke up at 3:15am and couldn't really get back to sleep until about 5ish - yuck!!! I know it will become much more difficult when the baby comes, but I thought I would maybe get a few good last months of sleep :( Oh well... small price to pay, I suppose!

P/T conferences tonight and then tomorrow am - then we have the afternoon off - so that's nice! Also, P/T conferences for the art teacher usually involve cleaning the room - so it's not so bad!

Have a great day everyone - hope you're getting better sleep than I am!
Love
Laura

Yay! Happy 26 weeks! You might be right about that sleep theory, cuz you get very little sleep with a newborn around! Thankfully, those weeks end eventually! Besides, new Moms are VERY forgiving with crying newborns! It's pure love!

Just think how much sleep you'll be missing in 16 years when he/she is out on a date!! Take advantage of the under-appreciated nap. You're definitely around the backstretch and coming around the corner. Pretty soon the finish line will be close enough to see!
