One day closer, one more night of poor sleep

UGGG!!!!
2 more days until she gets induced. 
Which for her means about 3 more hours of sleep since she is averaging about 1.5 hours per night.  My poor wife is on 3 different medications right now because she is sick.  Then add on the feelings of being pregnant and overdue and there you have the definition of miserable.  So she is constantly feeling bad, especially at night when I am of little to no help to her because when I wake up in the middle of the night it is in one of two ways:
1.  I am fully alert and will be so for the rest of the day.  If am startled in the middle of the night and I wake up at 2am I am probably up for the rest of the day.
or
2.  I am a semi-functional yet fully asleep.  I am able to verbally respond or perform minor tasks, but have no memory of said event later when I wake up. 

Last night #2 happened.  My wife woke me up in the middle of the night to say she had just thrown up because she was coughing so much, and my  loving response was "ok, I love you."  It is something we can laugh about the next day but I am surprised I did not wake up with a black eye.  My wife is the sweetest woman in the world.  I often wonder how I managed to trick her into marrying me, but I guess it doesn't matter now cause she is stuck.  I still think she likes me cause my 1337 halo skills.
