No sleep leads to cranky mommy

It was impossible to sleep in the hospital. And since I woke up bright and early on Thursday morning, I was already tired to begin with. But, no matter how tired I was, I could not fall asleep that night. I think it was a combination of the stress over our situation right now, the fact that Alayna sounded like a little Darth Vader with all her nasal congestion, and the fact that all of the sounds I was hearing made me think I was at work (and I sort of was!). I left Alayna with the nurses at about 3:00am and tried to sleep. I slept for about 1 1/2 hours before waking again...ugh.
So, of course, after also being unable to nap all day on Friday, I opted to head for home late Friday evening. But, once again, sleep was not to fall easily. I even took a Unisom and no sleep came. I drifted off about 3am again, only to wake at 6am.
Jeremy called a friend to come over Saturday to help get some light cleaning done and help watch the girls while he set up some work and I rested. Again, no sleep...but I was able to rest in a quiet dark room for a few hours and awake to a clean house!
Finally, last night I fell asleep at midnight. Woke several times (unbaby related...she sleeps like a dream!) but at least got 4 hours in a row at one time and 3 another! Whew! Maybe I will survive this after all!
