Rachel I had similar sleep issues with Cait and we are only just working them out now. I got black out curtains in her room and she sleeps in there for naps now as she just couldn't go and stay asleep in the swing. I feed her in the rocking chair, burp her and put her in her crib, sometimes awake and sometimes asleep. Sometimes she'll go right down and sometimes she'll fuss for a little while. Sometimes she will play and refuse the nap all together and I'll be struggling to put her down an hour or so later. She goes to bed at 9-930 and wakes once in the night for a bottle and then sleeps until at least 730...but usually more like 830 or 9. I try to put her down on the 2 3 4 schedule (loosely because I really only do the 2 and 3) which is 2 hours after she wakes for the day and three hours from whenever she wakes from her first nap. It works most days. Babies Shaelyn's age really shouldn't be up that long but I had all the same issues with Cait and they are getting better all of the time. At least you are getting some sleep at night now!
Michelle I was the same way. I was always very nervous and afraid hearing the other women having miscarriages and everything but it's unavoidable, it's going to happen to some women...but in the scheme of things it's only a few and it most likely won't happen to you. Hang in there, I know it's scary but try to keep positive and just be patient and every milestone will come and things will be fine. I'm happy you got in touch with your specialist and got the medication situation straightened out so hopefully now you're feeling better about it. That's a beautiful positive digi also! It always made me smile when I'd get a positive test! Enjoy every minute because no matter how uncomfortable and nervous you are, you're going to miss being pregnant when your baby comes...even if just a little, and even though you'll love your baby more than anything you'll miss that pregnant feeling. You're more than welcome to chat with us whenever especially now when everything is so new and things are making you worry. Let us know how your bloods go and when your appt is. It's all very exciting and I can't wait to do it again, myself!
Everything is ok here. I'm just waiting for cait to nap so I can put some laundry away and do a few things. She's currently in her crib fussing but she sounds sleepy so I'm hoping soon.
