my doc told me to take 1 benadryl. It knocked me out like a light. I don't know if you can do that tho, but it wouldn't hurt to ask your doc if you want to get some sleep.

I am only 23 weeks and I can't sleep at all either, my little one moves constantly, she is still so small that she can flip and roll around in there. So when I am sleeping I am awaken by bumps in the tummy. It's cute until I am so tired I can't sleep.

I take 1 benadryl every so often and I can sleep. I dont' take it every night just when I am running on like three hours a night for the week.

I dont' know how bad it's going to get when I get bigger. You dont' have much longer as it is neeko, but then again you may not be able to sleep then depending on your little one.

Neeko, you know what your name reminds me of??????

You know the necco waffers??? The waffers that are like the candy hearts with the messages written on them. I love them and I eat them everyday since I became pregnant. I just wanted to add that. I am eating them right now at 9.22 in the morn.

Love you

Gosh, I remember those days, I was always afraid that I couldn't or wouldn't be able to get out of bed because I was so huge, I was always afraid that I would pee in the bed or have the baby in bed I used to sleep in a recliner, it was easier to get out of that, even though I did not sleep a lot either so I totally understand where you are coming from and if you ever do get to sleep, they start kicking and then you walk around during the day in a brain fog. When they are born it can be worse they sometimeslike to sleep all day and stay up most of the night. Hope you can get something to help you to sleep soon!

My bf said to somebody yesterday, "getting 5 hours of sleep at night just isn't cutting it for me anymore." I said, "honey, you better get used to it." lol

edited to say that, yes, I do realize it will be less than 5... Just making a point. Lol

I know sleep is not anywhere in my near future. I feel I need to use toothpicks to hold my eyes open. I have always loved to hear the birds outside sing on a nice spring morning, but it just doesn't have the same effect when ya gotta get up at 3 or 4 and calm a screaming baby. Makes me wanna get a sling shot! J/k about the sling shot, i'm not *that* cruel!

The worst morning noise for me is the garbage truck. We for some reason have these stupid things for the trucks that make it so the guys don't have to actually pick up the garbage bags. This one guy sits in the back and operates a huge claw that picks up the bags and drops them into the truck. However, it takes .F.O.R.E.V.E.R!!!!!!! I swear, they could do the whole damn street by hand in the time it takes that stupid claw to pick up at one house. Ugh!

Oh, that would suck. Maybe I should be thankful for having to hear the chirping birds at 4am, huh?

Lol yea my bf had to take a job as a garbage man cuz of the baby!!! Hes gotta lift everything! The first couple weeks he said his arms killed but I think hes getting used to it now... He works with my uncle.. My uncle says diapers are there worst enemy! Lol exspecially diaper genie ones.. He calls them 'sausage strings'

i got 6 hours sleep last nite! I feel rested! Lol I didnt fall asleep till after 6 am but I got to sleep till about 12... I know once the baby comes I will lose alot of sleep but at least theres a reason! Ts frustrating just not being able to sleep for no good reason lol
