Another night of bad slp

Paola just gave birth the day before. Her baby Madeline is super damn cute. I hope Gerald is as cute too! She was being induced and her delivery took 12 hours.. OMG... upon hearing it I immediately took out my maternity package and started calculating... my maternity package only allows me 8 hours usage of the delivery suite. After 8 hours, it will be 53 cents per min for the next 4 hours... which adds up to an additional total of $1272!!! After 12th hour, it's free.... duhz they most probably already know 12 hours is the maximum anyone need to give birth naturally or maybe after the 12th hour, they will decide to proceed on with a C-section which mean additional charges again!!!! Oh no... pray hard everything goes well within plans man...

Anyway I didnt slp well yesterday night again... however yesterday was a completely new reason.. it wasnt the toilet trips... it also wasnt the acid reflux... it was trying to find a comfortable position to slp in... I am quite used to twisting and tossing ard in bed... multiple changes of positions throughout the night.. but nowadays just to change from facing left to facing right is a hefty task.. it is like carrying a 3kg watermelon in a pouch in front of you and turning together with it. When it is lying down on one side, it's still okay.. becoz the weight of it is supported by the mattress.. then the act against gravity pull begins when it is 45degrees and then 90degrees (that's when you have a 3kg watermelon sitting on top of your body... imagine that) then back down again... Rick kept asking me to stop twisting and tossing.. he said Gerald will feel uncomfortable inside... a while he is lying on mummy left.. then when mummy switched to the right.. he has to make himself comfortable again on the right too.. yeh maybe.. Rick said thanks god I am already working from home.. at least I get to rest if I really need to.. that's so true..

Around 2 weeks and 3 more days to go! So far I guess my third trimester is going fine... except for the lack of slp.. but I read in a magazine somewhere that the lack of slp during the third trimester is to prepare you for what's coming up next.. which is sooo true becoz once baby comes out, forget about slp man.. u will be waiting up every 2 hours... so maybe baby is preparing mummy right now..good boy!!.. hahahaha
