- I've been up since 6 am. I know. This does not seem like any sort of so-called un-Godly hour, but 'tis. Might not be so bad if my body would allow me to fall asleep any time before 2 am. Alas, this is my plight. Every night I 'go to bed' between 9 and 10:30 and then I do not sleep. For those of you who believe that this is the baby preparing me...let's just say that I am well aware of the coming torture that is a child who never sleeps (see: my first child) and so I could really do without the 'preparation'.
- I do not normally get up at 6. If I can help it, anyway. If I do it is usually because of, you guessed it, child number one. She is still asleep. Go figure. I had Rocket Man wake me, in the middle of some (finally) much needed shut-eye so that I could make doctor appointments with a couple of fine physicians in the states. One of the finer points of living half-way around the world.
- Also, yay for sentence fragments in lieu of the real thing.
- Yesterday: home-made (bread-maker) bread; home-made (and hand-made), from scratch (just in case you didn't get that part) biscuits. Declared yummy by all who ate them which is a good thing for my first time making them. Also, sliced, tenderized (Mama, you're hitting! Mama use a hammer. Mmmm, I LIKE beef, Mama.) divided and frozen beef for stir-fry. The same, minus the tenderizing, was done with veggies for same.
- Lately: 5 loaves of bread-maker bread, most frozen; chicken breasts cleaned, divided into single portions (12) and frozen; more than 100 meat-balls made, divided and frozen; two batches of beans soaked, slow-cooked and then (you guessed it) divided and frozen.
- I'm not done. I've got 1 or 2 more batches of beans to cook, 8 more servings of stir-fry meat and veggies to conquer, and then I'm going to attempt some pizzas. As in home-made crust/pizza, not the frozen ones from the store.
- We are not pizza snobs here at casa crazy-pants; please do not misunderstand. In fact, I went shopping this week and also purchased five boxes of piccolinos (small round pizzas, 9 per box) with prosciutto and cheese on them - they are one of our favorites.
- Surely this will help Rocket Man with the 12 weeks, count 'em, that Miss Thing and I (and baby2) will be back in the states without him (longer than that, really, but he'll make an appearance or two).
- Assuming he doesn't eat it all in the first three weeks.
- Must. Exhibit. Restraint.
- Yay.
- Fragments.

I have the exact same sleeping problem. Sure it's partly discomfort and bathroom trips, but it's mostly, well, something else, hormones maybe? And it is totally NOT preparation for the next one since in between feedings/changings I am quite sure I will be passing out immediately or during from sheer exhaustion so the 2 hour blocks of sleep I get will be DEEP! I too go to bed at around 10 but am half awake until after 1:30 or 2 and then, of course, J is getting up sometimes at 4 these days so I often wake up then again. The best sleep I get is usually between 4 and 7, this being affected by when J actually LEAVES the house and doesn't come back because he forgot his wallet, etc., and when N gets up - often before 7 these days. But fortunately I am so tired that I am able to sleep through her coming in my bed and reading books... OUT LOUD.... or bouncing near my head.
