Weekly Thread Anyone? 11/4 - 11/11 - Page 5

Thanks for the link. I wonder if the fact the the poll was posted in the loss forum has anything to do with the skewed results.
Although I could certainly believe a hereditary condition that causes pregnancy and breastfeeding to be less compatible.

Does anyone else have trouble viewing the last page of this thread? I click on it, and am led to the second to last page, no matter what route I take to get there. : Very weird.

[veganf]

I had that happen yesterday. I think it was when the last post was at the bottom of the page and it was just registering the first post on the next page. Weird.

afternoon ladies -- just curious, is anyone else sleeping wonderfully lately?

I am normally a horrible sleeper and can barely manage a few hours at once, much less a whole night. Getting to sleep takes forever, I wake several times and work to get back to sleep, and I'm awake an hour or so before I want to, normally.

last several days, I'm asleep before dh has finished reading and the light is still on (total opposite of normal) and sleeping straight through -- maybe up to pee once, but asleep again as soon as I lay down -- and feel like I've been knocked out all night long and it's great!

having had years of terrible sleep, this is great and I'm enjoying it as long as it lasts.

I'm usually a fabulous sleeper, but the past week I've been waking up to pee 3 times a night, and then waking extra early (and it's not just because Daylight Savings Time ended either...it's even earlier than that). But I've been using the time to get up before the boys and work on my cookbook (and check MDC of course ).

Oh...I wish! I've been sleeping horribly. Going to bed early because I'm tired and tossing and turning until about 11pm when I finally fall asleep. Then I'm up from about 1am on with a nursing dd who was recently sick so she's pretty much attached. Combine that with the snoring dh, the cuddlebug ds, tha bathroom trips and I'm about to lose it. I need some sleep soon.

I've been sleeping like crazy. The kind of sleep where you don't move for hours at a time and when you eventually wake up you are achy and you have no idea where you are or what time it is the only problem is getting up to pee a couple times a night *and* crazy vivid dreams.

[DandeCobb]

i am having CRAZY dreams for the last few nights i am still blushing from the one last night!!!! other than that i am just getting excited! I was talking to Dh about what if any classes we were going with DS next year and it hit me that i was going to have 2 babies i wanted to do stuff with and have alone time with each. its going to be a logistical nightmare!

It's always so hard for me at this point in the due date clubs. I just feel so badly for those with losses. We've shared our joy and obsessing, then it's suddenly gone for them.

[quarteralien]

I've been having weird dreams too. The other night I had a dream that an assassin took up residency with us, under threat of course, and would come and go, depending on "work," and even occasionally change sex, so we had no idea what to expect, and kept threatening to harm our kids if we didn't comply. I woke up in a panic. I don't sleep well anyway, and it's even worse when I dread the dreams I'm going to have.

I hear you. I've been sort of waiting for it all week. Not that I was hoping for it by any means, but it's sort of inevitable, and I wasn't looking forward to it.

Seems like often times every new day brings another. It's always in the back of my mind "will it be me?" I guess that's life.

It is hard....I know what it's like to feel that way and it really sucks!

I agree. It's so unfair. I keep worrying that I will be next :

Ironic, last night I slept like a rock, only getting up to pee once. I think it was the evening water aerobics class and swimming laps that wiped me out. Usually that class makes me energized and I end up staying up too late...not anymore!

And I dreamed that I went shopping at a gigantic new supermarket with the Duggars, LOL, and then they came over to our house and after everyone was there I ogled at the pile of jackets and shoes that made a mountain on our kitchen floor.

[finnegansmom]

I sleep great when I can, although last night I woke up covered in sweat! I was so HOT which is ridiculous since we are in Maine, it's already 20 at night and our heat isn't on yet - so our room is in the 50's at night? I still nurse my son at night, we cosleep from when he first wakes up until morning. Last night he woke up at 12:30 so I had 2 full hours of quiet sleep! It's amazing how little sleep you can learn to live with to get by.... I think I average somewhere between 4-6 hours a night?
Which is clearly why giving up coffee is going to be a challenge.

On another note, I'm going to the Dr's today to get a HCG level drawn. I've been cramping for a week now, no blood, but last night I SWORE my AF was starting. I've been calling them since MOnday begging for the blood test, finally yesterday afternoon they gave in...

[worcma]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Michelle!

I'm anxiously awaiting my first u/s. This PG was 17 mos and several fertility treatments in the making so I'm extra nervous. My HCG levels were also really high, so that has me nervous as well.

Other than that, I'm feeling similarly to many of you. Nauseous, lots of vivid dreams, tiredness, and having to go to the bathroom often. My nausea didn't really kick in strong until 8 wks the 1st time, but I'm hoping not to be so blessed this time .

Yeah I've been the one twice. I've been doing everything just to stay calm. I'm really hoping to stick around this time.

[4Marmalade]

Speaking of vivid dreams....... That's all I have to say about last night's wonderful dream

[EugeneMom]

I've had odd sleeping patterns, due to the exhaustion I'm sure, but I have had a different "issue".

Apparently, instead of having nausea I am being blessed with diarrhea periodically throughout the day/week. This has been going on since ovulation. Anyone else out there having this problem? (sorry if it's TMI)
