Insomnia and Cramping

This insomnia is starting to drive me insane.  It’s full blown insomnia.  No matter how tired or exhausted I am, I just cannot sleep.  I just lay in bed for hours trying to sleep.  I usually fall asleep around 4am even though I’m tired and try to go to bed at midnight.  Last night I kept switching sides to see if I could get comfortable but nothing was working.  I eventually went to the living room couch.  I can’t even really describe why I can’t sleep.  I feel relatively comfortable.  I don’t have nausea or heartburn.  I’m dead tired.  But I just can’t go to sleep.  Then I usually wake up between noon and 1pm.  So I guess I’m getting sleep but falling asleep so late and waking up so late isn’t ideal.  Even if I force myself to wake up earlier my schedule seems to revert back to 4am-noon.  I was joking with Joe that our baby is going to be stubborn like me and a night owl like him.  It always kind of bothered me that Joe is such a night owl and never goes to bed until early hours in the morning.  Sometimes he’ll stay up all night working on his projects.

I woke up this morning around 10am with some painful cramping on my left side.  It was pretty painful, kind of like period cramps but it was more on my side and not my stomach and not really near my uterus.  At least I don’t think.  It went away after a few minutes but I’m confused about what could have caused it.  Maybe I slept weird.
