Cant sleep, clowns will eat me....

Lol jk. But seriously, are any of you other preggies having a hard time sleeping? Everything is waking me up, and once Im awake it is so hard to fall back asleep. I guess it's our bodies preparing for the babys late night antics, but geeze. Then in turn I am wiped out all day and ready for bed by 8. Arrrrrgh!

Get used to it! lol Amelia is up every 3 hours to eat and I was told that I am lucky she sleeps that long at a time at 2 1/2 weeks old. I was the same way at the end of my pregnnacy, mostly because I had to go to the bathroom so frequently.

Nap when you can!!!

I remember those days clearly, although it's been 7 years since I had to deal with it lol. And you are lucky :) Are you still breastfeeding? I took a nice long nap today, and probably could have slept all night through if id forced myself to go upstairs to bed lol. (Kids are at grandmas tonight) Buuuuut my show came on so I woke up lol. Gotta stop that!

No unfortunately breast feeding didn't work out for us so we are formula feeding. She is doing great with it though. Thank God most of the time she wakes up, eats, burps and goes back to sleep. I only change her if I really have to because it wakes her up too much.

I slept most of the times she did today and I still am barely functioning. I am biding my time until she wakes up at 10 to eat then I am so going to bed!

I tried to breastfeed with my boys and I just couldnt do it. I felt like a failure, but now I know that formula is just as good, and man sometimes the extra hands help so much. And they sleep better too. I am going to try to breastfeed with this one too, but I wont hesitate to give it up if she starts loosing weight or seems uncomfortable. I do the same thing with my babies at night. I leave the interaction to a minimum so they learn that nighttime is boring and they should just sleep lol. Your such a good mommy :)

Btw, I am so not looking forward to the tiredness. So many people forget how exhausting it is to have a newborn!!!

OMG! I am so with you! Sleeping is a joke right now. When I have to roll over it wakes me up because it's such a process to move my body right now. And then there's the frequent pee trips. And falling back asleep is also a joke. I'm not gonna lie, I get pretty jealous when I look over and see my hubby sleeping so soundly.

I feel you!!! It is so hard for me to get comfy, with the pubic symphysis and the belly. Ive always been a side/stomach sleeper, and Sophia HATEs it when I lay on my side, she pushes and pushes untill finally I just have to do this akward back prop thing that sucks. Im so glad to hear you say that about being jelous of your hubby, thought I was the only one lol! How are you feeling otherwise? Can you believe we're 33 weeks today!!!??

OMG! I know. We don't have too much time left lady! I only have 5 more weeks at work. YAY!!!! I am feeling great now that I've had my iron infusion. I have a lot more energy. I feel just regular pregnant tired now instead of falling over tired which is great! I am a stomach sleeper too and can't wait to lay on my tummy again.

Seriously, can you believe how little time we have left? I can't. I am so excited to meet Rory & see pics of your little Sophia.

How are you feeling?

 I have had a little trouble, mostly because I wake up to pee (a new thing for me...never really had to go in the middle of the night before) and when I roll over my butt  hurts (it's probably my hips, but it feels like my butt.)

I have also been having crazy vivid dreams.

Took me a little while to respond because I had to look that word "sleep" up in the dictionary...Now I remember...LOL

I'm only a little over 18 weeks and I can't sleep for nothing!! If I'm not worrying about something, I'm having absolutely crazy dreams!! Or when I try to turn, it's like a huge effort, and I'm hardly showing!! I don't know... And if all else fails and I do get to sleep soundly, my dh starts snoring. Unfortunately, I hear every little thing. As he says, I could hear a mouse fart in the house next door. LOL

I know exactly what you mean... I about fall asleep after lunch at my desk at work.  Then I get home and would love to take a nap, but there's supper to fix, laundry, mowing, etc. UGH!!

Will be worth it....keep telling ourselves that, right?!?

Good luck! Take care!
