Not offering any advice here, just having a big whinge!

It's 6:55am and finally it's time to 'get up' for work. Just that I actually woke up six and a half hours ago at 12:30am!

I have had the occasional bout of insomnia in the past but usually it's waking up at 3 or 4...and then I usually am able to get back to sleep by about 5 or six. This time I just couldn't. I cannot believe I have spent the whole night awake and just so worried about how I'm going to cope tomorrow - I mean today. I'm 28 weeks pregnant (with a very wriggly baby) so it's reassuring to find it's a common pregnancy thing. I'm not even tired right at the moment (albiet in a very surreal speedy way) but my poor partner is. He didn't get much sleep either with my alternate raging and whimpering...It is the worst and I just didn't know how to calm myself down. I tried everything, EVERYTHING! I would relax a little bit then when I was close to slumber my breathing would get shallower and shallower and I would start to panic about how much time had passed and be all awake again. Definitely entered the no go 'zone' there. I wonder how today is going to go? I can't not go to work as I only work 2 and a half days and I'm showing my replacement the ropes...ARGGGH!! Maybe I'll say I had gastro all night and get to go home early? I will no doubt look the part!
