Mornings

For about a week now I have been sleeping on the couch. No, I'm not in the proverbial dog house, I just cannot get comfortable enough to sleep in bed anymore. Or if I do fall asleep, I will wake up in excruciating hip pain and will be barely able to walk for half of the day. So, the couch it is. The couch is wonderful. I can bounce out of "bed" with almost no pain, wait, can women in their 3rd trimester bounce? Okay, let's reword that, I can roll out of bed with almost no pain! I can walk without looking like a 95 year old woman, make that a 95 year old pregnant woman. Did I mention it has been wonderful?

Obviously sleeping on the couch means my sweet husband was in bed alone, well, let's face it not alone, our sweet little girl refuses to sleep in her own bed so our bed it is. I really need to get that under control, but all I want to do right now is sleep at night, not take a toddler back to her room every time she gets up. I suppose I should just bite the bullet and forgo some sleep to get this done. Anyway, back to my sweet husband, after a couple nights he decided he wanted to sleep in the same room as me and dug out the air mattress and has been sleeping on that in the living room floor for a few nights. I know it cannot be the best night of sleep for him, yet I'm so thankful that he is doing this because I can still feel like we are sleeping together. 

With everyone sleeping in the living room, after sweet man goes to work in the morning I have been just sitting on the couch and catching up on Facebook, Pinterest, pregnancy boards, you name it. I could start cleaning up around the house, but then that would wake up sweet girl and I do not like dealing with a grouchy sweet girl at all. This girl is a handful when she hasn't gotten enough sleep, so much like her mommy she is. So I do believe I'll keep with my routine for a while longer, who knows, maybe one day soon (preferably before baby comes) I'll be able to sleep in bed again.

Hope your routines are a little more exciting than mine!
