...I can't sleep

I have been having a hard time sleeping through the night on and off during the second trimester of my pregnancy. Last night I was up for an hour in the middle of the night for example.

Tonight, however, I know why I can't sleep. I am too excited about my trip tomorrow (or later today)! I always seem to either sleep poorly or barely at all the night before a trip. I think it has to do with the excitement, the anticipation and the worry that I will forget something.

It is 3:18 am and I am still wide awake. Luckily, this has given me some time to work on homework for my summer online course, Medical Terminology.

I don't think I will get to sleep until Dave wakes up and goes to work at this point. He will be up in two hours. We will see though...hopefully I am very wrong and will start feeling tired soon. I am glad that I don't travel tomorrow until 9:40 pm, so I have most of the day to relax and get some sleep.

I do have a few errands to run in the morning and would like to get some work done at my parents' house. We will have to see how much sleep I will actually get before getting on the plane tomorrow night.
