I was doing soooo good about keeping busy enough throughout the day and no napping, so that I could sleep more/better at night. I've still been doing that... but I'm still getting this massive wake-up/spurt of energy starting in the early evening, (think like, 5pm), and won't get tired until 2-3 am! Gahh!!! It's been going on for about 4 days straight now.
Today I did an obscene amount of dishes (we have no dishwasher and a tiny water tank
), cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the living room, vacuumed the whole house, did 3 loads of laundry, and of course I played with DS and such throughout the day.... and then jumped my husband before getting into bed.
And I'm STILL not tired! (I woke up at about 8 am, btw.... and it's almost 12:30 am here!) AHHH!
What's even worse about it tonight, though, is that I have to take DH to work at 5 am, since we share a car, because I have a WIC appointment in the afternoon. =/ Which means DS will also be getting up super-early. *sigh* Hopefully, since the appointment IS later, and we'll both need the energy, he and I can take a nap beforehand. Keeping my fingers crossed there.
On top of that, I'm super-frustrated with the stop-and-start contraction thing. I'm getting *real* ones, not just BH's anymore... but they're still not consistent enough for going in. I had them for two days straight, non-stop... then not much of anything... and now they're back again with a vengeance, but still not "enough" to go in for. Gahhhhhhhh!
Sorry... I just had to let it all out somewhere. haha...
Re: OMG I'm going INSANE!!!
Sounds like me. Last week I was all over the place doing things. I had contractions 2 days pretty consistent but they weren't doing much of anything and were still far apart. I was lifting, pushing, and moving things around like a wacko. Now nothing. I was in my 36th week last week as you are too while doing it!
Now I sit here and nothing. No mucus plug, no bloody shows, no contracts, barely any movement and a baby who is basically saying "I'm fine mommy. I'll see you later!"
