Rhogam Day
So last night sucked. It’s hot and humid and my heartburn is competing with my backpain to see which discomfort can do the most to ruin my sleep. Can’t prop myself up because that seems to be worsening the hip pain. Can’t recline even a little because of the, you know, nose vomiting. Tried a propped-up-on-my-side compromise and ended up running to the bathroom at 2:30 to hack and spit, hack and spit. Figured I couldn’t be any more wide-awake, so turned on the air conditioner so that at least I’d be more comfortable while I laid awake. Instead, I fell asleep, and didn’t wake til my alarm went off at the ungodly hour of 6:30am. I don’t know why the extra half hour makes a difference, but it does.
So, tonight, assuming I don’t sleepwalk into traffic or anything, the airconditioning will go on when I go to bed and it won’t go off til the morning. Sorry, my environmental activist past. But if I don’t start getting more than a couple of hours of sleep per night I’m going to stop functioning at all.
Which is, quite honestly, sounding like a nice rest right about now.
Good news (?) on the library budget cut – rumor around news sources in town claims that we might get back up to 60% of the proposed cut. This is very good for all my friends, but possibly not so good for me. I still think I need to stop working in mid-August. I’m totally wiped out, people. Exhausted and unwieldy and hurting. I need a break before this kid arrives or I’m going to be too zonked to feed the child, let alone give birth to him.
And that’s all I’ve got this morning. Off to my Rhogam appointment at the blood bank, hoping to get some cross-stitching done while waiting on the results of the antibody check. Because my life is just that exciting.
Damn, I’m tired.
Sleep!! And crank the A/C up! You deserve it
Ugh. I promise I won’t even think this in your general direction: chiropractor or osteopath.
i meant: I will say this one more time and then not even think it in your general direction.
oh sprog, i am so sorry you’re feeling so cruddy. please let me know if there’s anything i can get you/do for you.
I like the SD’s getting to choose a middle name. sneaky way to get them emotionally invested!

Oh I really feel for you. These last few weeks are tough on a momma. Hang in there. Turn the AC on and do everything you can to try and sleep. I promise you that once you see that baby of yours this will all be forgotten (or at least a distant memory).
Sweet Sprogblogger– I am so sorry, the nose vomit just simply story sucks– I hate that you battle that plus the back/hip pain. Yes you NEED sleep, you deserve sleep, and I promise, a few nights of AC do not wipe out your environmental awareness.
Your ticker says 12 weeks to go. Whoa. That just simply amazes me. I mean I *know* it, but still, how friggin cool!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPROGBLOGGER”S WONDERFUL MOMMA! Someday I hope to hug you in person.
SB, as you would say to me, give yourself permission to do what You need to be as comfortable as you can be and get some rest. you’re busy making a person.
with big love
Kate
Sorry you’re not getting enough sleep, my dear. Definitely prioritize your personal environment over the rest of the world’s, just this once!
Love,
Maddy
