spinning

yesterday was a tough day. we hadn't slept very much the night before, and we'd had a very busy (probably too busy) weekend, and so I spent much of the day yesterday taking a few steps and then stopping to rest or retreating back to bed. later in the afternoon I went to yoga and actually felt a lot better--I think the amount of time in vinyasa class spent with one's head facing the floor really helps.

I saw my acupuncturist informally this morning (her son is in Carter's class at school) and she reminded me that I should really take it easy. the baby's birth could come at any time and if it's right after a sleepless night it will no doubt be all the harder. this is good and sensible advice.

it is weird waiting for something you have no control over. I would love to use this time to get more done, but I'm having trouble doing much. I'm not really impatient or frustrated, just curious about how it will all go down. if I could wish for anything, it would be a good night's sleep--I seem to only be able to get two hours at a time. so those of you who are sleeping normally, please have a good night's sleep for me!
