I just need SLEEP.

Stephanie VarnerStephanie Varner
in Central Florida Nesties

I swear, I feel like a zombie.  I just can't sleep anymore!  I can not get comfortable and then I end up feeling like I'm going to pass out at my desk every day. 

On Sunday night, I was able to sleep for 45 minutes straight (a record for me lately).  I woke up to Paul shaking me.  Apparently I was having a bad dream where I was screaming, and I was literally screaming out loud in my sleep.  Poor guy thought I was having the baby right there in bed ;)  After that, I wasn't able to get back to sleep.

Then I fell asleep in the bathtub last night for 45 minutes and woke up to my husband standing over me, staring.  I see my maternity leave happening very, very soon at this rate...I just can't function properly without sleep.  And I know I'll be without sleep after Zach is born, but at least I can nap when he naps.

    Do you have a recliner?  It used to be a common place in peoples' homes, but not so much anymore.... but anyway, I had a friend that had similar problems, and although she didn't get a wonderful sleep there, she at least was more comfortable than in her bed.

     

    I hope you start feeling better soon, but I'm guessing it's going to take Zach making a personal appearance for that to happen.

    Hang in there!

    Bummer...so not looking foward to that. I can handle getting up at night but lying there with no obligation to be awake other than just can't get comfortable...ugh! What a drag.

    Awww that sucks :-(

    Hopefully the lack of sleep will catch up and you just clunk out... (hopefully at home and not at work...lol)

    Ugh, I'm really sorry to hear that Steph. I've heard the same thing about recliners, that they can be a Godsend! If not, maybe propping yourself up on the couch with your feet up on an ottoman or something?

    We don't have a recliner :(  I have found that sleeping on the couch will SOMETIMES help because I can prop my back up with pillows.  I may have to try that again tonight!

    Do you have a body pillow? That thing saved my life when I got to the not able to get comfortable stage of pregnancy. If all else fails Nick at Night has some great tv shows in the middle of the night!

    I am sorry you are getting no sleep. The U shaped pillow was magic for me when I was big. : ) I'm getting a lot less now though... : (
