Literally slept a total of 2 hours last night

I am tres miserable!  I was so so tired and I don't know what the problem was.  I even got up and took benedryl as recommended by my doc when I have trouble sleeping and I swear it just made it worse.  I tried playing musical beds and went from the bed to recliner to couch to bed and nothing.  Because I was up looking at the clock so much I know that the longest stretch of sleep I got was 45 minutes.  Pathetic!  I totally feel drunk this morning and have absolutely no confidence in my driving or working abilities today.

Poor Ash.  I remember those nights, they suck.  Any chance you can take a 1/2 day and nap this afternoon?

Gosh you poor thing! I am already sleeping this way. I am terrified for the 3rd Trimester! Go home and get some rest. You deserve it!

Girl I have been tossing that idea around all morning along with the idea of just calling in for the whole day!  I have 11 days of PTO left for the year---however have to use 5 to meet the elimination period for my STD pay and then I wanted to roll 5 over to next year so I don't use so much of my 2010 PTO for bonding after STD is done so that leaves me with 1 day that I need to use before I go out.  And I am just trying to convince myself that there will probably be a day I feel worse than today so I need to save it.  We will see if I make it!

Oh my, dear, sorry to say, but your body is getting you ready for being up all night with the baby.  After a few months, being up all night won't even feel weird.
