Hungry baby on my end. She has wanted to eat every hour now and then falls asleep on the boob and has to finish after I pump BC she wouldn't wake for the other side. Daddy is suppose to feed her before he goes to work so I can have some rest but looks like I'll be up to feed her. That and she won't let me put her down without screaming bloody murder. Le sigh. SO needs sleep so I am trying to keep her as quiet as possible.
I have stepped on my poor put at least three times BC she likes to lie in the way of the door or my path.
My thoughts are going crazy and my imagination is getting the best of me. Almost to the point it was pre pregnancy and I was on Zoloft. Scary. I think I just need some sleep. Lol!
I'm so uncomfortable I can't seem to sleep more than 3 hours without waking up for a couple hours. It's obnoxious. Then realizing I'm 36 weeks today really set my mind to racing. DD came at 37 weeks. Knowing I'm dilated/effaced some already is making me anxious too. It's just so soon. I am prepared but I feel like I am not.
My whole fam has been asleep since 915ish, it is almost 12 and I am still up. Why? Just because this is my me time since I am on maternity leave now and get no quiet time. I'll regret it in the morning when the kids wake up super early.

I was going to go to bed at a reasonable time tonight but then I started watching Netflix. I guess now is still better than three hours from now, so I won't open any more threads!
Joolschweets - thank you. I don't think she is feeling well. I agree. All pregnant ladies should get one STFU card per day. Some people are just plain annoying.
lalamomma hope you can get comfortable at least a little bit. Can we ever be prepared?! Gah. I was anxious too once I was dilated/effaced. It is hard not to be!
I'm awake because had to get up and pee and now I can't turn my mind off thinking about impending c-section. Going to have to talk to doc at my appt today about something to help me turn off my brain for the next few nights so I can rest before LO arrives. I guess it's anxiety about the c-section. I am a nurse, which you think would be comforting, but never been on the patient end of things before. And sometimes a little knowledge can make that little hamster wheel start turning, and not in a good way. I'm also constantly trying to check if she is still breech or has flipped back down again - how did I not feel her turn into breech? And if she does turn, are we destined to play this game of flip-flop gymnastics until the end of time?? Aaarrrggggghh!!
missjenniebean Thank you! Some of the bed discomfort is the crappy mattress I'm sleeping on at my moms house, but mostly it's pregnancy related. You are correct though we are never truly ready. I guess knowing how much DD changed my life and my heart, I know I'm on the cusp of that again and it's exciting and terrifying at the same time!
My husband works the 2am-10am shift at work, so I am on baby duty by myself those nights. And for most of the morning while he rests. Makes for some LONG days and nights.
MOTN pumping keep me up. I get away with 3-3.5h of sleep during the work week to coordinate getting DH to work and visiting Elliott. In the weekends, I get 4h of sleep, I'd try more but my boobs start hurting and leaking. I'm sure MOTN will be different once he gets home
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.
I guess I'll post in this thread instead of finding the old pregsomnia thread. Once again, wide awake. I barely slept at all last night, so I was really hoping tonight would be different. Nope. I'm tired, at least I think I'm tired, but my body is just not having it. I'm so freaking hot always. One of DHs coworker friends gave us their window air conditioning unit to borrow yesterday. I figured that would help me finally get some better sleep since we've been without for about a month now. But of course, I was wrong. I'm somehow still insanely hot and still can't sleep. And I can't stop moving my legs. Ever. I'm so crazy angry now too which is not helping. I'm done. I'm soooooo done. I'm ready to be exhausted for different reasons.
My DH went out tonight with his coworkers to celebrate passing his PE exam (professional engineer). I was just woke up to my dog howling in the baby's room because our neighbors (in an apt building) who the baby will share a wall with-are having obnoxiously loud sex. That shit is not going to fly if it wakes my sleeping baby.

Ahh I shoulda posted here instead of Friday randoms! DH coming home drunk after midnight and neighbors having a super loud fight (or something) followed by other neighbor walking through my yard with a baseball bat "to investigate" are keeping me up! Longer versions in the randoms thread
Not sure what to snack on and watch/read in order to get tired again...
My DH decided to have a beer drinking night, which, to his credit, have been rare at this point. Except of course when he finally came to bed, snoring up a storm within 5 minutes. I got up, had myself a little pity party (crying on the toilet, lol) and now I am trying to decide between reading and TV. The baby is flopping around too, so at least I have some company!

Wow I feel so bad for you guys
I spent the evening putting baby clothes away and I was so excited to show DH when he got home. He was pleased and said the little tiny clothes hanging in the closet were cute Then I turned my attention to the shower gifts I have to put away. Facepalm because it didn't occur to me that things like new sheets and towels would need to be washed too, and so I have a bunch more laundry to do before I can put the rest away. If I had realised that hours ago I could have done that laundry while I was working on everything else, and it would be done and I could put that stuff away too and be done. Instead I have to wait for tomorrow and I could have gone to bed three hours ago instead of wasting time. And since I'm up so late, not sure when I'll wake up. I really want to finish before I go spend the day at my parents' house. I love them and haven't spent much time with them lately but lately I almost always leave there feeling as though I didn't accomplish what I wanted to, and I don't need this weighing on me as well.
To top it off, I just realised that I went to Walmart Thursday with a gift card for the baby I fully intended to use, bought things for the baby, forgot the card and paid cash instead that could have gone to the rent. I didn't remember until I was going through my gift list for the thank you notes I still have to write. Now what do I say to that lady? Just pretend I did use the card like I meant to? Return everything and buy it again on the card? (that's insane, I can't even do that because half of the stuff is open) Auuuugggh
I'm on the feeding baby and changing poopy diapers all night train. It's day 2 and I'm done. Little man had a huge ass poop almost an hour ago and has been refuelling since. Ugh ut was gross. And he's also on the don't put me down train. Little dude, I'm so tired.

This sounds like a play by play of how my nights have gone for months now. I hate RLS. I.need.SLEEP. And if I take Unisom or Benadryl, it intensifies the RLS. I'm thinking of chopping my legs off.

Oh no! I feel your pain, but when this happened to me, I wasn't as nice as you! This happened 2 nights ago. After being in bed for an hour, I already had to wake him up 4 times to get him to change positions. Finally, I kicked him out of bed. I was NOT in the mood to deal with his drunken snoring. Not to mention I was already pissed anyway because I had been telling him to limit his beer drinking since we never know when I could go into labor and need him to drive me to the hospital. I was not a happy momma!

Looks like I should have hopped on this thread last night when SO came home so late (he had texted 2 hours earlier saying he would be home soon) soooooo madly in love with me drunkenly wanting to snuggle cuddle but keeps BITING ME (leave me ALONE I'm sleeping finally, I had passed out on the couch waiting for him) woke me up cause of all the snuggle cuddle belly kissing all the while you smell like booziness cute and yet so annoying at the same time driving me madness, now I'm wide awake on the couch and he asks me if I'm coming to bed. Fine I roll my big ol self out of the nest I have created on the couch only to find that within 30 seconds of getting to the bedroom he has passed the F out and has the drunk snores, which are terrible cause he is regular snorer anyway. Back to the couch nest I went. Back and forth between the two all night. I should have checked in here for some commiseration. What got into our SOs last night?!
ETA I can't remember which thread I was just on yesterday talking about how I'm feeling like I want more affection from SO lately and I have tried to ask for it lately and gotten nothing in response. Now he comes home offering it up in the WORST way (I don't know about anybody else, but when mine tries to snuggle up drunkenly and I am sober, it drives me batshit crazy cause it is generally not gentle or comfortable, not aggressive but clumsy and STANKY and just not pleasant) then I even tried out of desperation to give him a chance cause thats how badly I want a snuggle these days and by the time I got to bed he had passed out What a bummer!!! When this dude gets home from work tonight I'm gettin the real deal lol.

You could try taking the receipt to customer service and asking them to "return" and then repurchase the items using the gift card. It's worth a shot, and will probably be more likely to happen during quieter business hours. Either way, I would say you used the gift card. I lied a lot in my thank you notes, as we got a lot of repeat items and gift cards.
Ha! Maybe you can give me some tips. I didn't really get a lot of repeat items--I was terrifically grateful to get two California Baby travel packs--but I got some things I knew I was going to return immediately that I either don't need or don't like at all. What the heck do I say to those people?

I hope the biting didn't hurt. I will admit to cracking up when I read that. You make sure you do get that cuddling.
What the heck is going on with these guys? shahoi makes a good point--it's pretty irresponsible to be boozing it up when they might have to drive to the hospital at any given time. I guess maybe they are celebrating their last moments of non-dad-ness? My DH has certainly been playing a lot of video games, but that's quite normal for him so not sure if it's related.

You can always go the "it was so thoughtful of you" route. I think I lied on most of mine and said they would be really helpful when baby arrives. ?

My co workers had a little shower for me and I'm so thankful but I really don't want to write thank you cards>.< I'm thinking about writing one for everyone and making them some wine popsicles...is that rude/bad idea?

Wine popsicles?!?!?!? Is there a trick to this, or can you just use wine, straight up?
