Having trouble sleeping these days. Belly is really big and heavy and I have turned the sea of pillows into a mountain of pillows (10 of them now) but it still does not help much. Luckily the temperature has dropped in the last two days so I don't really wake up in sweat anymore. I slept for 6 hours straight yesterday and it was quite a pleasant surprise given it's been a while since I was able to sleep for more than 3 hours straight. Today, I'm back to having a sleepless night though.
Part of it is also driven by anxiety. I don't think I have been this nervous about any other events in my life, not even the first day of school in the U.S. when I spoke no word of English. These days, I'm constantly worried: Will I go into labor before Doc comes back next Monday? What kind of delivery will I have? What kind of baby will Chamu be? How will we get through the first month? Is Chamu moving too much? Moving too little?
I know people say to get as much sleep as you can before the baby pops out but my mind is filled with all these questions and it makes sleep a luxury I cannot afford to have. JoJomami @ 5am...

Relax Jojomami! We are also anxiously waiting for Chamu's arrival! And you have been quite productive on your blog this last week!
I want to come see you but don't want to pass you my nasty cold that's been keeping me coughing for 2 weeks straight...
