U.S. Mommies To Be

[Chantibug]

I've been having insomnia too. I am so tired when I go to bed but it takes forever to fall asleep. Then as soon as I do, I have to get up for the bathroom! Then it takes forever to fall back asleep!

The viscious cycle that doesn't end!

And I am really annoyed with people saying "well you may as well get used to how it will be when the baby is here"........ ok except I wont be pregnant and tired from GROWING A PERSON!!

That is sooo true!

you're on your 3rd also, right? Have you been more tired this time around in general? I dont even have energy to sit out back with my kids on a weekend evening while they play, my husband has to sit with them! I feel SO bad

 

[southerngal2]

Chanti- yes I'm on my third and I don't remember being this tired with my other two.
Don't know if it's because I'm older or what.

I really think my body is just all mixed up. I'm tired all the time but then I can't sleep and when I do sleep it feels like I haven't slept, no matter what the duration!

 

[luckyme225]

I'm always exhausted. Even when I do get sleep it never feels like enough. Doesn't help that I don't get home from work until midnight.

 

[Chantibug]

luckyme, I cant even stay up past 9pm, bless you! ! lol

Thankfully last night I made DH take a sleeping pill to get him to sleep well before me, and i slept from 10 til midnight, then again from midnight til 4 and then on til 6 (just got up to pee!), so i feel SO rested... and even more so cause i know it's a half day at work today

 

[southerngal2]

Half day of work for me too! Then I'm off until January 3! I am sooooo going to enjoy my time off!

 

[Chantibug]

Oh Im jealous!! I go back on monday, but I do have a dr. appt that day too to look forward to
Then on new years eve i leave early as well and have jan 3 off . .

It has just hit me that Christmas is a couple of days away. I havnt been feeling too merry. My tummy is always cramping and I feel I can never get comfortable. God bless all you ladies who work hectic hours and cant get ample amounts of sleep. I stayed up till 330 to catch the eclipse and have been miserable since then. My bed time is 9:30 ish and thats when my body shuts down lol.

I hope and pray insomnia does not become a problem with this pregnancy because I have 8am classes next semester and when I dont get my sleep im a Grinch

It's Christmas Eve! Time for me to get cooking!
What's everyone's Christmas plans?

 

[MissFox]

Today I'm making a pumpkin pie to bring to my mom's house for dinner tonight. Then we are doing presents first thing in the morning at her house so we can see my little brother open presents (he is 5). Then off to the inlaws for dinner where I'm supposed to bring a pumpkin and a chocolate pudding pie. Lots of running around tomorrow to make sure we get to see everyone.

I'm sitting around my mom's house, finally hooked up on the interent... baby and me are starving but for some reason my mom who promised me food 30 minutes ago has yet to bring me anything, lol...
Ok, I know that sounds bitchy and demanding... she just offered to go make some frozen pizza and I dont' understand why its not ready yet.. my tummy is rumbling (baby is growling at me ).

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

This year was my first "white" Christmas ever. My town hasnt had a white Christmas since 1966 so its a big deal for us country folk lol

 

[DarlingMe]

JNA How much snow did u get? Where are you guys at? I am near chicago and we got a good 6 inches the past couple days.

 

[JNA]

Roxboro North Carolina we have about 2 inches and its supposed to snow non stop into Monday morning

 

[Annunakian]

Even heard Tennessee was getting snow. My Dad lives there and says he moved there for warmth not snow!

I went to NC in the foothills somewhere (forget the town) almost 10 years ago I think in Jan/Feb and it was snowing. The whole town stopped! My bfs family at the time came to meet us in town because they were way in the sticks. His cousin was 25 or so and said he had never driven in snow and how awful it was, in a 4x4 truck! There was not even a half an inch and everyone was freaking out! I can see why though. No one had snow plows or salt trucks or anything. I hope you got your White Christmas!

 

[MissFox]

Wish we had a white Christmas! Right now it's probably dumping snow at my mom's house. It's thunder and lightening here- which is why I'm awake at 6am! One of our dogs is apparently scared of it! Had to let her out to potty she was whining so much and so sketched out but the puppy isn't scared- just curious. I'm heading back to bed- then to Oregon for a couple days for more family festivities. Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas- and Lisa- my mom is usually the same way... One year we didn't get turkey because she messed up and cooked it frozen so it didn't finish until 10PM. OOPSY!

 

[southerngal2]

Wish we could have snow for Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
Did anyone get presents for their babies? My step mother and SIL each got a little something for baby. I thought it was sweet.

 

[MissFox]

I got something for my SIL's baby- she's due about 3 weeks before me. I asked my mom for a petunia pickle bottom diaper bag! She got it for me! Included a link to the bag from the website. It's big enough to fit the baby lol (not that I would do that - but just as a note for comparison!) and all the diaper stuff!

North Carolinians are notorious for freaking out when we see snow. There are probably 10 counties that have the equipment on hand to clean the roads. We use our 4 wheel drive to go mudslinging and thats it lol.

I did get my white Christmas woke up to 6 inches of snow and my dog is scared to go outside to potty because he doesnt know whats on the ground hehe. I live in town and its 1 pm and the roads are just being cleared
