As a "researcher" I find myself wondering about these strange bodily phenomena that come with pregnancy. First of all, I wonder why my car has been a trigger for my all-day sickness (there seems to be no such thing as "morning" sickness for me). Most of you would likely say, with good reason, that it's probably the motion of being in the car that sets me off... However, it's not being in the car but rather approaching or leaving my car that stirred up (literally) all the trouble. From months two to five, this unusual pattern of sickness has led to all sorts of psychoanalyzing... Am I afraid of transitions? of change? Does the idea of "moving" on cause some stress?..... And if so, since I no longer get sick every time I approach my vehicle, does that mean I am now ready to move ahead? Hmmmmm....
My sleeping pattern has been distressingly off the last two nights as well. Since Thursday evening, our little man has really started to pack quite a punch - it is amazing to me that such a little one can make my belly jump up and down so much! It has been pretty exciting to feel his movements and Kevin has enjoyed it too... However, at 4 and 5 and 6 a.m., when I still can't sleep and I feel him preparing for a boxing match, it is slightly, just slightly, less exciting. Last night, I got at most two hours of sleep! Are his movements keeping me awake, or it is just hormonal, or stress, or just chance.... I guess time will tell....

Everyone told me that getting up in the night due to peeing or his movements was just preparation for the sleeplessness you'll have with a baby. But in the same breath they would tell me to get all the sleep I can as I won't have any when he is born. Unfortunately, sleep will probably be something you won't have for another year or so....or as my dad says, for at least another 18 years ;)
Sleep whenever you can--whenever little Baby Brown gives you a chance. Hopefully, you're just in a little rough patch. My biggest challenge to sleep was being so warm, even in the winter. Some nights, I had to go to the couch to be away from Mike. Whether you get tons of sleep or not, you'll be a mom soon! And, what a wonderful mother you will be!
You've been student for so long that you probably don't remember what sleep is anyway! :) Love you! The date is getting closer and closer!
The only interpretation of your psychosomatic sickness :) is that you are a big freak ! :) But..you know that I always knew that about you Sue
