I got 4 hours of sleep last night. If it's not Jane it's the cats (and I am ready to strangle them both to death with my bare hands). If it's not that, it's me. My insomnia has started up again and I can't do anything about it. No drugs are allowed since I am still breastfeeding AND co-sleeping. During the day I am SOOOO tired but at night for some reason I just can't sleep. It is infuriating.
I can't figure it out either. I am probably one of the happiest people on the planet. It's not like I am going to bed and worrying like I used to do. I am content. I am next to Jane. Maybe it's just the anticipation of her waking up, which she still does several times a night, sometimes for up to two hours. Last night (or this morning) it was at 4 am. I finally got her back to sleep by singing to her, but then in walks Butters and meows his loudest meow twice in a row, thus waking her up. I got up, shut our door and got her back to sleep again after another 30 minutes. Then that damn cat pawed on the door, which doesn't latch closed all the way, and woke us up AGAIN when the door clicked open. If he was within my reach I swear I really would have strangled him. To death.
Anyway, I guess I can count on sleeping when I am dead. Or when Jane is 13.....
I am really loving my 3-day work week. I am at work BORED TO TEARS right now, so obviously things are going well. I work my butt off when I am here and boy is it amazing how efficient I can be when I put my mind to it. I am seriously asking for a raise at the first opportunity....I figure they can afford it since I am saving them roughly $25,000 a year by going part-time and still doing the SAME job (which used to be 2 jobs until I said I could do them both). And, yes, I am bragging. ;)
Overall things are going very well. I love my little life.
As for bad news, I broke my camera by dropping it in to the bathtub. Jane was taking her first "big girl" bath and I got too crazy with the picture taking and she slipped and fell on her back, covering half of her face with water. I dropped the camera in the water to pick her up. At least I know I would save Jane before my camera. ;) She was fine, by the way.
I also lost my wedding ring. I never really cared much about any dumb ring and quite frankly I find girls who brag about their rings quite nauseating. But I guess I would like something halfway decent (I just don't want to pay for it). Right now I have on a $12 band from JC Penney. Silver. DH lost his ring years ago.....
I guess that is all for "news".

I'm sorry to hear about your camera, but glad that Jane's ok! I actually just ruined my BlackBerry cuz I'm a pregnant idiot and washed a pair of pants with it still in the pocket.
I'm envious of you only working 3 days! I am sort of hoping that maybe my job will allow me to work from home for a while after my maternity leave is officially over. I want to be a SAHM, but it's not in the cards right now.
I'm worried about our cats being a pain in the ass when Nellie comes. We're moving into our 2 BR place next week and we have already decided to keep both bedroom doors shut ALL THE TIME so the cats don't get used to being able to be in there.
Natalie, once you meet your little girl you will figure out a way if there is one at all. Trust me. You will fall so head over heels in love with her you will not believe it. Each day you will love her more. You will go to bed at night thinking there is no possible way you can love her any more than you already do. But you will wake up and presto...you love her MORE. It's a wonderful time. You will find a way and the cats will work out. I didn't think ours would but they pretty much have done quite well with Jane with a few minor exceptions. Anyway, I am excited for you. Your first baby is so special. I am sure your 2nd, 3rd, etc is special too, but I can only vouch for #1. ;)
