all i needed

was a good night's sleep. I'm still tired, but the overwhelming sense of absolute failure is GONE today.

    I would love to sleep more. I have been waking up in the middle of the night to pee and not being able to fall back asleep for like an hour. Annoying.

    Sheer exhaustion, ladies. I've not been sleeping well. Been sleeping deeply but very actively and I've just run myself down so much.

    Also, I took half of one of my pain pills from when I broke my foot. That knocked me out nicely.

    I did the same thing last night--but I used benedryl (because one more sleepless night ans I was gonna have a full blown migraine today, I had the aura.  But sleep = holding it at aura level :-)

    YAY for mood help

    <div>me too - an hour or not at all. i used to be able to fall right back asleep, but now will wake up at 4 or 5 am and not be able to sleep. The cold is only making things worse because I'll start coughing and keep DH up. </div>

    My allergies have been making me miserable. That certainly hasn't helped anything.

    Barbie, what about using a humidifier? Will that help you?

    It's bad. Before I was waking up at 6 or 7 to pee, which I would take before this middle of the night jazz.

    And I'm exhausted, so I don't know why I can't fall back asleep.

    perhaps those whacky pg hormones are giving you problems. Also would be why you're so super tired.

    we don't have one, but it would be worth a shot. i'm loading up on meds, eating right before bed, and even keeping food next to the bed so i can get a small snack when i do wake up (to try and help with the nausea). 

    DH and I have a system worked out now - I wake up to pee, start hacking and/or lay in bed feeling sick for 15 minutes or so, wake DH up, he gets me ginger ale, snacks, bucket (just in case), more meds, etc. He has also given me permission to start turning the TV on in the hopes that it will distract me and i can fall asleep.

    Wow... Ken's being uber father-to-be.

    Are you sure it's a cold and not allergies?

    cold as far as i know. my allergy testing 2 years ago came up negative for all of the major environmental sources. 

    Ken has been awesome, and I make sure to tell him that frequently.
