Last night I had this super stressful dream that I was at someone's house for a party but then it got cancelled. Since the party was cancelled I thought DH was going to get the car so we could go home because the baby was there, all by...

Lilac, glad to hear you're able to get some sleep. Major fatigue was definitely one of my symptoms. Similarly I would go to bed at 8:30pm and sleep till 7am or so. Sleep while you can, it's likely that soon enough you'll be waking up...
