That's typical
With my boys, even once they were born sometimes they'd breathe so softly that I'd have to lightly touch them to make sure that they were breathing.

I nap as much as I can during the day. I am awake all night most nights lately so it is very hard. During the day I break out all the stops, giving my boys crayons and paper, new books, yummy snacks, etc. Then I sack out for a few minutes on the couch. On dh's off days I sleep all day, seriously. I feel badly for him because he doesn't get to just rest on his off days but I am just so tired, I have to sleep. He's generally a good sport about it.

Obviously, I'm not asleep (I'm a night person, but this is getting to be ridiculous). Some days are better than others, and this just isn't one of them.  :
And now for another attempt at sleep... |
I'm a night person too but I agree completely, this is beyond being a night person. I'm turning into some weird type of vampire!

I'm starting to feel like I imagined the contractions I had on Sat. night. Anyway, big hugs to everyone feeling anxious/sick/etc!! We'll see how I feel when I wake up tomorrow for my due date!!!

My oldest didn't drop until I was in transition and throwing up. I guess the force of the throwing up made him move down. Very painful but proves you can go into labor without dropping

That is adorable!
Sorry I can't get to everyone else but I hope everyone is feeling better/good tonight
