Hey, ladies! I know I've been MIA for a while, but I took my final, my in-laws came for the weekend, and my brother (who is our live-in sitter) announced that he's moving back to NC this week & needs me to drive him down on Wednesday. So, I've been a little nuts. But, I'M DONE!!!! School is officially finished. I'm just awaiting final grades. I think I made a 90 on the final (based on the answers I looked up afterwards), and all I needed to pass with an A was an 80, so I think I'm pretty good.
@Rosemarino, I'm sorry your daughter was sick, but glad you figured out what it was & it wasn't anything serious. Funny that both our kids were having ear infection-induced night terrors at the same time. Nathan's are cleared up (didn't need abx), fortunately, and he's back to sleeping soundly.
I'm with you ladies with sleep troubles. I've been waking several times a night to pee, still, but now it's more difficult to get back to sleep, usually after the 2nd or 3rd waking. And, I need to find the right pregnancy pillow, but haven't decided which one will work. I can't seem to stay on my left side (although it isn't until 20 weeks that it's crucial), but flip back and forth. So far, a firm pillow on each side has worked fairly well, but I'd like something more pregnancy-friendly. I'm worried that the Snoogle won't allow me to flip flop.
I have strange dreams even when not pregnant, so they've been pretty weird recently. But yours sounds epic,
@teamviddy! I love the rabbit-morphing! Sounds like a great sign your body is doing what it is supposed to.
As for RLS, how come neither my midwife nor the OB I had with my last pregnancy knew about magnesium? I had RLS so bad I literally slept in the bathtub on multiple occasions, when I was pregnant with Warren. I kept asking what I could do, and nobody knew. Don't know why I couldn't find that as a possible solution on the internet, either. Well, I'll certainly try it this time. That was the worst! Even worse than the hemorrhoids I had on the plane (yikes!) to an out-of-town conference. Of course, working full-time was the main reason I had all those problems, no doubt. Glad I am only p/t now. And glad I don't generally have hair issues- I don't really have a lot of body hair anyway (probably my Native American heritage), but I have been breaking out with pimples like a 14 year-old girl, not to mention the allergies & rhinitis are combining to make me miserable more often than not.
Also, I started taking cod liver oil for vitamin D, and a B12 for energy. I think it's helping.
