I haven't really been sleeping. And it really has nothing to do with me being uncomfortable. For the most part, the physical part of sleeping is going well. Sure, it's not easy to roll over, and if I'm sleeping on my right side, my arms fall asleep. But still, it could be so much worse.
My biggest problem is my head. If I'm up, I stay awake. There's no falling asleep. And if I'm sleeping, I'm having nightmares. Strange ones. Last night, the last one I remember (and I say last one, because I know I have several a night) had to do with work.
I came to work and my co-workers had turned against me. They were making fun of me for being pregnant and saying that they don't think I should work here anymore. Then my boss told me he wanted me to cover a 12-hour concert event in the hot, summer heat. (nevermind that it's not even summer) I asked him if I could take breaks and he said no. I told him that I was pregnant and I didn't know if I could stay in the heat that long. And he said "Tough. I guess it's either cover the event or quit." He did however remind me not to have a drink of alcohol until I was done working. "But I can't even drink right now," I said.
As my co-workers chanted "Quit. Quit. Quit" I finally woke up.
