OMG third trimester pregnancy insomnia is setting in. Right when I said I was feeling good, the midnight to 3am wake-up kicked in. I guess it’s getting me ready for sleep deprivation with an infant. In other news, it has been crazy around here, in a good way, between work and house projects, so I’m ready to start the weekend early, as in now at 8am. Wishful thinking, but I’m excited for some down time the next two days, and to plan our menu for Thanksgiving. Hope all of you have a great weekend.
