can't sleep again  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Sigh. I am so sleep deprived. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've bathed, showered, the hub rubbed my back... I've tried the couch, I've tried to relax.... Just can't get comfy. And then, just when I think I am, I have to pee AGAIN.

I think I've hit "that point." I feel like I would like to be done being pregnant please. Maybe I should try having a glass of wine.

Can I join your club?

Even worse is when I finally fall asleep I am wide awake two hours later or sooner if I have to pee and my ds won't nap. So I am a zombie all day long.

Mee too. Though I had been sleeping well the last few nights, what am I doing up @ 4 a.m. wandering through my house!

*sigh* me too.

I didn't really go to bed. I tried but it only lasted an hour. DH has been asleep since 7pm!! I'm kinda hoping he wakes up soon so that I have someone to talk to...

Count me in. I'm so tired of not sleeping and of peeing every 5 seconds. So I'm up watching The River Wild for the 60th time. At least I'm done working now so I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow.

Oh well. I'm sure someday I'll sleep again. Maybe in a few years??

I feel your pain ladies! I wake up and can't get back to sleep, then my dd crawls into bed with us and suddenly she and my dh have to be on my side of the bed with me. Trying to wake them to get them to give me some space is nearly impossible, so there are three of us crammed onto half of a king size bed. Nice.

Then my mind starts thinking...what if I go into labor? We'll carry dd back to her room, but she'll wake up and she's clingy so I'll be dealing with a clingy 4 year old in the middle of the night while I'm in labor? What would I do to distract her? Wake the teenager? Call a friend to come play with her in the middle of the night? bla bla bla bla....then I start thinking of other things, like "gotta mail in that rebate form, take back the dvds, do the laundry, etc before baby comes." No one will know what needs to be done if I have the baby today.

Ugh. Then, before I know it, I've peed 60 zillion times, and the alarm is going off and the day is starting.

Yup yup, same here. Get up to pee, struggle to get back to sleep. It's one of the main reasons Mr Toona has to chaffeur me to work, driving has this tendency (only while pregnant it seems) to make me really drowsy, so it's worse on the less sleep days. Glad I've got Mr Toona to drive me in. The weather's been snowy and icy lately, so it's nice to have him help me through that too.

When I do sleep though, I've been having really aggravated dreams, like I'm usually really angry once a night at someone in a dream. Anyone else experiencing that? It's rough because then I wake up all and have a hard time getting back to sleep because of that too!
