The baby grows
It kicks inside me
so I know
That in December
when we sleep
A wee, wee cry
will make a peep
And keep me from
the precious doze
That makes me sane
and on my toes
So when the world
lay mostly snoring
I'll find midnight is
far from boring
But for now
she softly kicks
And I am up
And boy this stinks
But Dan's up, too
and this is good
He will help me
with her food
When she awakes
both day and night
And we can't sleep
Try as we might
*A poem.
Written poorly.
In the wee hours of the morning.
Because I can't sleep.
Even though I'm t-i-r-e-d.

Oh, Em! I love this poem. It so captures the insomniatic thoughts that go through a preggo mother's mind.
BTW, the middle of the night stuff - as hard as it was at times - every moment was precious to me. Still is.
I am getting so excited to see this baby already! I'm sorry you're not getting sleep - I remember how difficult it was in those last few months. I don't think sleep comes until retirement.
