so sleepy

[catballou24]

it's only 4:30 here but i'm ready to go to bed...:yawning:

I know, I know!!

I've been wanting to go to bed since, well, since I got up this morning!

I've been having weird insomnia for the past 10 days or so....I go to sleep fine, but the first time I get up (for the bathroom run) I cannot go back to sleep!

Last night my 3yr. old was sick, so I was awake at 3 am! No WONDER I'm so tired, lol.....

I took a nap today while my little ones napped---it helped a little!

My tiredness got really bad today for the first time. I was exhausted by 9:30 a.m. I took an hour nap around noon and another one at 5. Geez, Louise.

I hear ya! II've been passing out on the couch every night as soon as I get the kids in bed. Then the first time I wake up (usually around 3 AM) I can't get back to sleep!

The women my husband works with told him that they thought it was "strange" I was having any symptoms at all at 7 weeks and that they didn't have any until like 3 months. He came home and tried to tell me I shouldn't be tired yet and I nearly tore him a new one. He works with a bunch of old ladies whose kids are nearly grown and they probably don't remember any of it anyway! I asked them if he seriously believed me over them!

Tell me about it...I took a 15 min. cat nap in my car at lunch in the parking lot of McDonald's after I ate my (healthy) chicken salad. It refreshed me somewhat....I'm counting down the hours until 5:00 where I can go home, crawl under my blankets and fall into a deep blissful sleep.

Yeah right. My 5 year old will be tugging at the blankets wanting to play

I am super tired too.

[heatherweh]

Oh I'm right there with ya. DS has been refusing to nap the past few days, making him (and me) super cranky in the afternoon and evening. Mommy needs it! I used to make it through the day with copious amounts of coffee, but now that I'm cutting out caffeine the drowsiness has really it me.

[inky leeuhhh]

not drinking caffine has done me in. i do have a cup of tea every once in a while, but that is a MAJOR cut back for me. i have been so exhausted by the end of the day. i teach preschool and it has been taking a LOT out of me. i have also been getting awful headaches in the pm- not sure if it's due to not having the caffine or due to the pg. at least the nausea hasn't hit yet!

I'm pathetic ... I'm currently on a much-delayed honeymoon with DH (and I guess this will be our last vacation as just the two of us). You may be wondering why I have time to post on this forum when I should really be visiting the sights - but I'm just too exhausted! We visit one sight and then I throw a tantrum to go back to the hotel so I can sleep! Yesterday I was awake for only 7-8 hours!

DH is being awfully sweet (prob b/c it's our first) about my "condition" Hope he doesn't hate me later for sleeping through our vacation!

[mamato2boys]

The exhaustion just hit full force today. I took two short naps and spent a good chunk of the day trying to lay down whenever I could. All my symptoms seem to be so much stronger this time around, perhaps I'm getting old

[smocklets]

I forget when this ends, I am so tired and cannot go without a nap. luckily my kids think its a treat to watch a movie in the afternoon so I know they are right there with me for a good hour.

Me too; my exhaustion is my #1 symptom. I'm napping with DD in the afternoon and then really needing to take a lie-down for a few minutes after DH gets home from work. I swear it wasn't like this when I was preg with DD!

[ms.shell]

friday ds asked me to watch star wars with him after school. it was about 4pm when i laid down in his bed and it was after 3am when i woke up! I felt so bad...ds didnt even get dinner. i think he would have woke me up if he was hungry, tho. dp said he looked everywhere for me and finally saw a lump in ds' bed. he didnt wake me up cuz he figured i must have needed it.

this morning dp woke me up early for breakfast. he made french toast and bacon and grits. it was so good. afterward, i went to lie back down for "just a minute" and woke up at 4:15! So tonight I will probably have a hard time sleeping.

I too am so tired all the time it seems. This past weekend I felt so lazy, I woke up and took a shower, got dressed, fixed my hair and by the time I was done I felt like I needed to go back to sleep! The worst part is that this is my first pregnancy and I work from 8am-5pm a half hour away from my house as a receptionist... so that means getting up super early to get ready and no naps for me, ugh... do you think they'll notice if I take a cat nap under my desk? lol

[heart-n-bones]

Me too! Today has been the worst. Last night I couldn't sleep. I finally got out of bed about 1 am and packed some boxes (we're moving). I was able to get back to sleep about 2:00, but slept fitfully. This morning I was so exhausted I just started sobbing while we were walking the dog. I decided I needed to stay home from work today and rest. Insomnia and exhaustion do not make a good combination!!

[lovetheheights]

I go from overly awake to super tired. Hope all is ok for all of you. I fell asleep in the bathroom at work today!

[heatherweh]

Wow. I am joining the exhausted club today- big time. I went to the gym first thing this morning, which gave me energy for a little bit, but also led to a big-time crash this afternoon. I hope DS is ready to go to bed early! Of course I've been staying up watching the Olympics until 1 am every night....

It's a really good time to take those mandated breaks!

I'm just dying today. Bad enough under normal circumstances, but I was awake for about an hour and a half around 3 am.
