Tomorrow is my son’s first birthday. Last year at this time, I was lying in bed with him in my belly knowing that I would meet him for the very first time the next day.

I can’t wait for what I am feeling right now to be over. I know much of it is due to sleep deprivation. Serious sleep deprivation and a general feeling of being severely run down. My family and I recently returned from a three week vacation with a 13 hour time change.
