why am I awake?

It's just about 5am and I'm wide awake.  I woke up twice to pee earlier in the night.  I'm actually not completely uncomfortable for once.  Yet, I'm wide awake.  All I can think about is going into labor.  I'm ready to have this baby and it's consuming my mind and dreams.  My dream was that I woke up with cramps, started having contractions and we called our parents to let them know we'd be going to the hospital soon.  Why can't that be reality and not just a dream??? 

I know I'm only 2 days late and it could be a while still...

    The last stretch is always the toughest! You're anxious and REALLY ready to have your baby, so it's natural. I would be too. Instead of lying on bed and wishing you're sleeping, try getting up and drink a bit of tea, or take a bath. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. :D

    Hang in there, sweetie!

    I don't know, but I'm up too. I woke up at about 3am WIDE AWAKE with terrible anxiety that nothing is ready and the urge to nest! Worst part is, I have a 12 hour ambulance shift today in 90 degree heat now with no sleep. BOO. I hope you have your baby soon!
