Sleepless nights...

One of the real joys of being pregnant are the sleepless nights. I'm usually pretty darn exhausted, which means I'll fall asleep at 7pm. But it also means I wake up in the middle of the night restless and not exactly in a sleeping mode (but then again not in a mode to do much else either). Tonight is one of those nights. This is complicated further by crazy vivid dreams. Some of the reading I've done blames these on progesterone....I equate it to a ketamine coma. The progesterone knocks you out, and then you wake up in a nightmare. I wish my body would produce some benzo alternative to counteract this.

I think I'm also restless cause I'm excited about having everyone for dinner tomorrow night. I just wish I knew how many to expect....right now it's somewhere between 5 and 9. That's a big difference when it comes to serving a small crowd. The problem is, that most of my residency buddies never really know their schedule....everyone will tentatively say yes with the caveat that they may be too tired to come. I've also invited one of my chiefs and his fam....except even though we're buddies, I still don't like to bug him too much since he really doses make or break my call scheduled life. I guess I'll have to use the last form of communication available to me.....he's getting a page tomorrow. We all answer them from home, even at the strangest times....we can't help it....we feel compelled....so that's the last resort when all other modes fail...
