Longest night of my life.

Last night was literally the longest night of my life, for a few reasons. First I tried to fall asleep but, like usual, was having a hard time. I got up a few times hoping I’d fall asleep soon, but at 1:30 I still hadn’t. Then 1:30 rolled around and Lincoln woke up, but not only did he wake up but he decided to climb out of his crib into our bed. NOPE. Not happening. I’m not getting into the habit of him sleeping with us. Thankfully Ty is home and put him back in his bed, screaming. He probably got out of his crib 15 times in a short amount of time. Then I heard him getting out again but as long as he was in his room I didn’t care. He could fall asleep on the floor for all I cared. However, I then heard Riley crying. He had gone into her room and woken her up. I was not happy, to say the least. So now I had two kids crying and it was 3am. Riley went right back to sleep and after almost 2 hours of Lincoln waking up he did too. However, I did not. I was tired, exhausted and not happy but still couldn’t sleep. I came downstairs to sleep on the couch but ended up on the computer writing my mile-long “to do” list instead. (I suppose at least last night I wasn’t dreaming that I was having Tiki Barber’s baby like I kept dreaming the other night)

After trying to get Lincoln to sleep I just couldn’t shut my brain off. I kept thinking of all the things I need to get done before the baby gets here and what I need to still buy but mostly I’m freaking out about what to do with the kids when I go into labor. I need to have a definite plan and I’m freaking out that no one will be able to watch them and I’ll be in the hospital without my husband. It’s hard to have a definite plan when I don’t know when it’s going to happen. I’m just praying I don’t go into labor in the middle of the night like I always have and that one of my friends down here can watch the kids until my mom can get down here. However, my mom is not even sure she’ll be able to come. I guess we’ll see when that time comes. God will work it all out, but I can’t help worrying about it! I did end up falling asleep but not until at least 5:30 am. That’s the time I saw last on the clock…I’m tired this morning!

Anyways, I’ll try to post a belly picture later today when I find the camera (Riley hid it somewhere).
