we interrupt this checkup post to whine about not sleeping.

guh. for some reason i had a hard time getting any decent sleep last night from 11pm to about 3am. you know how sometimes you don’t really “fall” asleep? you sort of have this stream of conscious thought that takes about 10 minutes and you realize about 40 has passed but you don’t ever feel like you slept? that’s what it was like.

then charlotte and my belly decided to have another practice run. this time the faux-contractions were juuuuust potent enough that i woke up with them …every 20 minutes or so. that lasted until about 6.

i slept fairly well from 6 - 8 and was looking forward to another 11am wakeup call to catch up on what i was missing.

however, someone either moved in upstairs, or the construction crews decided to load a bunch of finishing options equipment into the space. hooray for someone buying a unit and hooray for neighbors, but i couldn’t sleep though it. i was up by 9 and cranky.

by the time i hit the “it’s time to sleep now” stage again, it was sadly too close to go time for the checkup to really do anything about it.

i’m sleepy.

so, that checkup. everything is “fine” in that we’re both still perfectly healthy and doing great. which, yay, of course, but still. i’m still pregnant. i’ve apparently gone from “just under 3cm” to “a tight 3cm” with no change in effacement. bummer. so now we wait until next week’s appointment or hopefully, labor starts for real :)

oh, and it seems that my cervix is crooked, too. it leans a little to the left ;)
