More and more recently, people have been saying that I should get as much sleep as I can, as very soon, I won’t be sleeping much due to a crying poo-machine sharing the bedroom with Claire and myself. Most probably, this is all very sound advice, but I’m yet to learn this first-hand.
I am a really light sleeper – in that, I mean that I wake at the slightest noise or disturbance, so there’s not much chance of me sleeping through a baby’s wailing during the night, nor me trying to pretend to Claire that I didn’t hear it either!
But I’m actually quite shattered now and the baby's not even here yet!
I think that this is possibly because Claire has to get up in the night to use the toilet at random intervals..! No, of course, it’s not Claire’s fault; nor is she doing it intentionally. But I do wake up even if she tries to sneak out of bed, or even if she rolls over in the night. Come to think about it, I used to do this even when she wasn’t pregnant, so it’s definitely a problem with me and my sleeping.
Anyway, what I am trying to say or point-out (badly) is that a pregnant woman does need to use the loo during the night. Therefore, if you happen to be a light-sleeper, like myself, then you’ll probably notice this too.
The more annoying part, is that Claire is NOT but any means a light sleeper, and so when I wake up in the morning and do my best SAS/cat-burglar/‘sneaking-around-the-room-not-trying-to-wake-Claire’ impression, it’s wasted, as she’d sleep through anyway! I even use the dim backlight on my mobile phone to pick a pair of socks out of the draw when she’s still in bed...!
