Eating for Two...cont.

I'm up early. I woke up at 4:00 with contractions and I also had to pee. I was super thirsty too, so I made a quick pit stop in the kitchen for water. Went back to bed, but my left palm was hurting and I couldn't get comfortable at all. I tried sitting up, my left side, my right side, arms outside the blankets, inside the blankets. Nothing worked to get me back to snoozeville.

Then, the hunger began. My stomach growled and all I could think about was blueberry waffles. At 4:45, I gave up on sleep, fumbled my way into my robe, climbed gingerly down the stairs and popped three waffles in the toaster. Now I'm in the living room with my breakfast and two cats who look about as thrilled, with the early morning wake up call, as I feel.
