Insomnia

I don't know if this is a result of pregnancy or my brain working overtime or what, but for the last few weeks, I've been wide awake sometime between 1am and 2am. Occasionally I'm able to fall asleep again, but on nights like tonight, I JUST CAN'T! I got up and went to the bathroom right after I woke up. That's been my habit lately...I figure I can't sleep if I have to pee, so I'll just try that and get it out of the way and then I should be able to go right back to sleep. This time it didn't work. So I lay there for an hour, rolling around and kicking Chris. Then I decided I didn't want to leave him with any more bruises, so I got up around 2:30. It's now 3:51 and I'm still not tired, but the warm milk I drank has now given me heartburn. 5:30 is going to be here before I know it, so I'm going to head back upstairs and see if I can squeak in an hour of sleep (bringing me to a grand total of four hours for the night) before the alarm goes off.
