Sudden exhaustion??

I am 38w2d and yesterday I started feeling tired.  Not normal tired, but to where my eyes could close sitting up and fall right asleep.  Today is the same.  I've slept and still feel I could sleep more.  I'm normally the person who rolls right out of bed at 6am with no alarms and ready to start the day.  So this is very different. Never had this 1st pregnancy either. Is this normal??

Ugh! I've been looking forward to that burst of energy and it's nowhere in sight.  I can't get enough sleep! I'm hoping this really is preparing for labor because I'm more than ready!

Same here... I wake up for 3 hours in the middle of the night as well as every half hour to turn (I feel like a roasting piece of meat). I've been trying to take 1 or 2 naps a day. This has been happening since week 38. I'm due in 2 days.
