This insomnia is driving me crazy!

I absolutely cannot sleep past 3 a.m. anymore and it's driving me nuts! I'll stay up until at least 6 and be completely tired and ready to go to back to sleep except I have to go to work so that's not an option. This was happening just once in a while and then I'd get a couple nights really good sleep, but now it's just every night - same story. I know it's hormone related and I'll be up this much when the baby is home, but I really want to sleep NOW and I can't! Aaaargh!!! Vent over. Hope you ladies are sound asleep!

    I hear ya! Thankfully I had my last day of work and classes on Friday. But I haven't been able to sleep either. I think of everything I still need to do before baby comes late at night. I just finished sterilizing my breast pump, bottles and pacifiers and washed the last load of onsies. Now here's to hoping I can go back to sleep! Hope you can get some shut eye too!

    Went to bed after midnight, up at 4:30.  I wouldn't mind so much if it was because I was taking care of LO but regular insomnia just sucks.

    I slept from 12:30 until 3:15.  I can't go back to sleep because everything is uncomfortable and my skin itches so bad on my belly and feet.

    Ugh - I'm glad I'm not the only one.  I have vicious PUPPs and wake up itching every night after 2-3 hours of sleep.  It's like my body is preparing me for what's coming.  I haven't slept longer than 4 hours at a time in days.  I agree with the rest of you that it'd be one thing to be up caring for my baby.  It's another thing altogether to be up scratching my skin off!! Grrrr.  I have a doctor's appointment at 11:20 this morning and I will be begging for an induction.
