Sleep, Sleep, Where Art Thou?

I can't sleep. Let me rephrase that- I can't sleep at night. Evidently I have pregnancy induced insomnia. No, it's nothing new... I've been dealing with it for about 3 months now, but I feel like I am reaching the end of my limit.

Two nights ago I slept like typical carp. I toss and turn all night and take a few catnaps in between. Yesterday I was dragging so bad that at 11 a.m. I lay down for just a minute and woke up 3 hours later. That nap felt amazing. I didn't think that nap would interfere with my sleep last night; however at 1:30 a.m. I was still wide awake. I did get 2 hours of solid sleep between 3 and 5 a.m. this morning, but that was about it. I had to get up at 5:45 a.m. to get Jonathan out the door for early morning band. He gets up at 6 a.m., but since time is so tight on early band mornings, I like to have his pancake ready for him as soon as his alarm goes off (he leaves for school at 6:20 a.m.). Anyway, here it is...12:42 p.m. and I am dead in the chair. The warm space heater by my feet isn't helping. I could fall asleep so easily right now, but I have to be at Nolan's school at 1 p.m. There is some assembly there today and he is getting 2 awards- one for reading and the other for fitness club. Maybe if I resist all urges to nap today I'll be able to sleep tonight. It's worth a try, but I'm not holding my breath that it will work.
