Insomnia
This pregnancy insomnia is no fucking joke. I haven't dealt too much with peeing like crazy but that has started kicking in. Went to bed at 11, woke up at midnight to pee. Woke up again at 2 & knew I wasn't getting back to sleep soon. Last pregnancy I just had plain insomnia, with added baby kicks. Tonight is totally pregnancy insomnia. I was thirsty, nauseous, headache, backache, & a lot of uterus/uteral pressure. I couldn't get comfortable because of the pressure & I think all the moving around caused the back pain. I didn't want to get a drink because that's what caused waking up twice in 2 hours, plus I was nauseous. Nausea & water don't mix for me, it makes it worse & I usually don't keep it down. I finally passed the threshold between awake & sleep once, just barely asleep, & my kid cried out in her sleep. Yup, some cursing happened in my head. After almost 2 hours of trying to get back to sleep my bladder called again. Thanks bladder, I didn't even drink that much. 11, 12, 2, & 3:45. A total of 4 times in 5 hours. Joyous! I gave up on sleep so here I am blogging & drinking water, because that's really smart. Other than this crap, the pregnancy is going ok. I've had to start using a rubberband with my pants because they're too tight regular. I know I'm not that far along but some days I am so bloated. My wonderful sister has loose lips & decided it was ok to tell some cousins that I'm pregnant. The only people who know are my immediate family & 2 close friends. Mike's parents & grandparents know but I don't even know if his siblings do. I imagine his mom told them but we didn't. I haven't put it on facebook & I while I have blogged about it, my family doesn't read this blog. I don't really have plans of putting it on facebook, I didn't with Katie until I was like 18 weeks. So, most likely it won't end up on facebook until January. It pisses me off that my sister felt she could tell them. She also decided to tag me in a baby name article. I asked her to send it to me, like email/fb message. I removed the tag but still all our family/mutual friends can see my name on a baby name post. The reason my sister told my cousins was because my nosey cousin assumed because we weren't coming home in Dec that it was because I'm pregnant. Not that case, it's the 3-4 days of driving & about $500 in gas/food/hotel each way keeping us from going this year. We planned to go next summer but that might not happen with the new baby so it might get pushed til next Christmas. I really want to go home though, I miss home & my family. I want Katie to have more time with our family. I've thinking about maybe flying home early next year for a visit. Don't think I could handle flying home in the summer with 2 kids. I would rip my hair out for sure. Decisions, decisions! Well, I guess that's all. Have a wonderful day!
