Can I also say I'm p!ssed off at my husband?!

Ok, clearly I need to give birth not only to this child but also to the b!tchy streak I seem to be in. I'm so impatient, irritated, frustrated, and at the end of my rope with a lot of areas of life.

I have a great husband but he does sh!t that makes me boil. Last night (talk about how romantic we are!) we were both in bed @ 8pm and I said to him, "Are you just going to sleep for a few hours and then get up for the rest of the night like you usually do?" I ask because it drives me nuts. He makes noise, he's in and out of our bedroom, he doesn't get enough sleep and then is massively tired for days, when he DOES come back to bed its usually almost light out and he snores like a banchee....etc.

He assured me not. Well, guess what!? He was up by midnight and didn't come back to bed until 5am and then Rhayna was up screaming about her intentional pooping herself (post below) at 6. I was up throughout the night because he was making noise, in and out of our bedroom, in and out of the bathroom....JUST as I predicted!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I don't blame you for being frustrated. A woman needs her sleep! What's up with the weird sleep habits?

And sorry you're still dealing with Rhayna's potty issues.

Man, you cannot catch a break, can you? I'm so sorry you are dealing with all this craziness right now & hope it gets better ASAP. How far along are you? Will you be induced soon if you don't go into labor?

Girl.....   I was JUST like this right before I had Jace.  The end of pregnancy + a toddler is HARD.

And WTF is up with DH's sleep?  What is he DOING all night long?

I'd be all over that business.

My response would be "As long as you're up you're responsible for the munchkin.  I'm gonna sleep.  If you want to get horizontal make yourself at home on the sofa but once you leave my bed in the middle of the night you are not welcome back.  I've GOT to get some sleep.  Period.  End of story." 

DH and I have a deal that we established a long time ago - if one of us can't sleep they go down stairs and try to sleep on the sofa instead of keeping the other one up all night.

I have seriously gone down the hall to pee just so I wouldn't wake him up in the middle of the night.

Your DH is being really inconsiderate!

Your DH's nighttime habits would wear me out and I'm not pregnant!

As for the snoring. . . My DH snores and we have found the the folks who make Breathe Right Snore Strips makes a throat spray that works great! It has saved my sanity.

I will say, this isn't a "habit" of his other than, when we DO go to bed exceptionally early (which is rare) this happens. What is he doing? Working! Drives me INSANE. So you give work 9 hours a day, seeing our kid 1.5 hours at night and you have ANY desire to work in the middle of the night?! I know he's stressing about running out of time when the baby comes.

I'm due in a week and a half but have been having seriously strong, timeable contractions on and off for 2 weeks. Apparently that's "normal" for a 2nd/3rd/etc timer. I won't be induced. I'm having a homebirth and the only way I'll be "induced" would be if I hit....ready for this? 42 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry your DH's sleep habits are adding to what is already a stressful time for you! I have a similar policy to Howley. If DH gets up in the middle of the night, he doesn't come back to the room until the next morning and he takes the monitor with him!

I hope you get better sleep soon! (((hugs)))
