Dance party!

LO is throwing a dance party in my ute and I can't sleep! He is so active at night it's crazy

Mine seems most active at night as well. I get no sleep these days.

The few times I've felt him from the outside have been in the middle of the night after getting up to pee. We have a bunch of night owls!

a nurse told me something interesting early on (maybe you guys have heard this already too..)
she said that she recommends women to take about a week or 2 before delivery to change their sleeping habits in order to begin to train the baby. she said that while we are active during the day, baby sleeps because we are moving and it is like a soothing, rocking sensation for them.  however, when we lay down at night and stop moving, baby wakes up and becomes more active.  she said she recommends women taking time to sleep during the day and stay awake at night to try to reverse that pattern for baby before delivery.
i had never heard anyone suggest that before, but it made a lot of sense to me.
obviously, this isn't some sure-fire trick to get your LO to sleep through the night or something and it doesn't work for everyone, but i might just give it a whirl.

I think that makes complete sense. Maybe not enough to get the baby on a diff schedule but at least you will be prepared!!
