Can't sleep, skin is stretching...

OMG this little girl is a fish...literally feels like a fish in my belly. On top of that, she keeps me up at night so I can't sleep. Now I can feel my skin stretching and it hurts sooooooooo badly! Crap. I'm not going to sleep ever again, am I?

I kind of figured from DD's pregnancy on that I wasn't going to sleep soundly again until the kids were out of the house and even then, who knows?

I mean, there's sleep and then there's good sleep. I fell ya on the skin stretching thing....not fun. I don't remember it with DD.

With DS's cruddy sleeping schedule lately, his father's excessive snoring, and this LO keeping me up, I won't sleep soundly ever. 

I'm with ya, I don't remember feeling a lot of this stuff with DS. Comparison, he was such an EASY pregnancy!!!

I feel ya on this one Normally I COULD sleep all night and most of the day if I really wanted to be lazy, lol! But I started having some trouble sleeping during the pregnancy which kept me from doing that, plus all the times I was sitting by the toliet instead. Lately though, my sleeping is horrible. Its so frustrating!!! I didnt get ANY sleep this past Thursday night AND Friday night. So of course my baby shower was this Saturday and my sleep decided to creep up to me then. But yeah its just impossible to sleep now. Seriously considering talking to my OB about being able to do something, because I have got to get some sleep!  On the belly skin stretching, I am having the same issue too! Lotion seems to give some relief, but not much. It constantly feels like someone has set my skin on fire. So sensitive to touch and all. Really sucks.

My little girl just finally hit the point that she could wake me up when I'm asleep. Shes got some sharp little elbows and I swear I can feel each one of her toes as she likes to poke them around my belly button. Up until a few days ago I could only feel her when I was awake and when I would lay down on my left side she would kick down at the mattress repeatedly until I rolled onto my right... then settle. I thought laying on your left was supposed to be good and comfortable for them!

She a feisty little one though, always swimming around in there. Poor ultrasound tech at my last appointment. I have 2-3 pictures of her from that one where you can see her straining to get away from the wand. It's hysterical!
