two o'clock
laying in bed, staring at the ceiling
three thirty
clock ticking
as the numbers laugh in my face,
my increasingly heavy eyelids blink slowly
wishful for rest
five o'clock
rest has not relieved me
I'm still dreaming of sleeping
six forty-five
the nurse just came in
can I sleep now?
seven fifteen
waiting for breakfast
so I can fall asleep
or just continue to try
Author notes
I'm spending about a week in the hospital for hyperemesis (severe morning sickness), dehydration, malnutrition, and irritated esophogus, duodenum, and stomach. [sigh] Lily's already kicking my ass.

Sleeping is sometimes overrated. Also, congrats on the second kid Kate.
