What are you doing up?

Albertsgirl1982 · August 2013

Shout out to the ladies who are still awake at.....it's currently 2:18am here. What are you doing? What activities if any do you do to keep from going insane during these all nighters? I don't know how I'm going to make it through 4 more weeks of this.

I'm in California so it's only about 11:30 here, but I know I'll be awake for at least a few more hours. Usually I lie in bed and play games or surf the web on my phone.

katiebenes · August 2013

its 1:32 AM and I am working. this is my last week. then I start leave... hopefully my hips will cooperate with that notion

Jenmarie279 · August 2013

I'm doing my usual...watching tv, playing around on the net, ignoring household chores...

ajbook · August 2013

Got up to pee and realized my foot/ankle still hurt

. I fell Wednesday and twisted it pretty good. Luckily I didn't fall on my back or on LO, and she is moving fine. I have an appt Thursday afternoon and am hoping I don't need a boot or crutches. This preggo is slow enough as it is

. Grabbing a few more pillows to elevate more and trying to fall back asleep.

It's now 3 here. I am watching tv and bumping. Trying to tire myself out so I can get up for work in two hours.

magdalina.h · August 2013

Waiting on sister to come back from her assessment so she can nurse. My milk is in so my boobs are throbbing!

Gcrebel2006 · August 2013

I am officially up too late... I usually watch HGTV to pass the time until I fall back to sleep, but it just switched over to infomercials for the rest of the night. :-S

thedash · August 2013

It's 4:00 am here. I just woke up with crazy pain in my right hip and lower back. It actually made me whimper so loud that DH woke up. I walked it off but now I can't get back to sleep.
I'm also timing some contractions but I'm pretty sure it's just BH.

MamaInMN · August 2013

@cabusbey - I'm impressed with your productivity!

I'm eating a sandwich and timing contractions. Again. I would really love for my body to stop giving me this 3am wake up call.

a2003tiger · August 2013

3:12 here and eating Raisin Bran.

bossmom11 · August 2013

4:30a and I went to sleep at 10:30p but have been waking up for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night every night. Annoying! Dh gets up in 45 min for soccer practice so I might just "wake up" then and try to get some grad work done.

Mrs.AllyH · August 2013

I am wishing my body could get this going to the bathroom thing under control. I've been up and down 4 times and it's not even 5 am.

MegStark · August 2013

Almost 4 here and I'm wide awake. Again. I've already forced myself back to sleep twice only to have crazy dreams and awake again within an hour. So, I'm contemplating going grocery shopping before I shower before work.

Zoly1103 · August 2013

I'm mostly screwing around on the Internet (almost 5am here). I'd turn on the tv but I don't want to wake H and I don't feel like going downstairs. Wish I could sleep through the night but I have a bad feeling like I should just give up that dream thanks to my stupid bladder and brain I can't turn off once I'm up.

amief · August 2013

5 am now but I've been up for over an hour... I was being productive but now I am hoping to lull myself back to sleep with some bumping and reading.

Curls218 · August 2013

I'm up and pumping.

Shanmarie1083 · August 2013

Been up for the past hour kicking DH under the covers in attempts to get him to stop snoring. It wasn't working so now I'm back on the couch eating cereal and watching I Love Lucy.

Marley629 · August 2013

5 am here. Been up for an hour worrying about things i have no control over. Didn't feel this anxious whole pregnancy. Just a little over 3 weeks left and I'm freaking out! (Mostly about labor and the unknown)

dizzymgd · August 2013

Don't post often at all, but love keeping up with everyone. I'm sitting in L&D watching my contractions trying to decide if I should get an epi and wishing I could sleep. The nurse will break my water in about 45 minutes and hopefully will be welcoming the little guy into the world by mid morning.

HBirdie · August 2013

2:30am here (woo west coast!) and I just pulled out the iPad to bump, browse Pinterest, and maybe play a game or something. I just had some cookie dough ice cream because it's super hot in my room. Tried to resist because I'm dreading stepping on the scale at my appt later, but... Don't even care.

kelizr · August 2013

I woke to pee at 4.... Never went back to sleep! And now it's time to get up for work.... Gonna be a long, long day! Hope it's not a sign of how these last 7 days are going to go!

Mags128 · August 2013

It's 5:30 and I am feeding the baby. 1st time since she has been home that she slept for 2 hours at night without being held. I love the miracle blanket

TKtravels · August 2013

I awoke at 0430 and for some reason thought it was 0230.

After I figured it out, I had a moment of getting all kinds of happy and pleased with myself for managing to sleep a whole three hours.

And now that I've hung out in bed for close to an hour without sleep returning, I figure I'll get up and make some spaghetti for breakfast.

babybird12 · August 2013

its almost 4 here now...been up since 3 my body is super sore from my weird hard core nesting I did yesterday...

bumpin and watching a movie

startobe · August 2013

It's 7:27 here and I've been up since 4. Since I no longer have to punch a clock for work (I just need to get all my work done) I worked. I did try to fall back asleep at first but then I gave up. It is just so hard to snuggle with a watermelon.

beckyandmiles · August 2013

Got up at 2 to pee, couldn't fall back asleep. Argh. it's 5ish now, I might take a bubble bath & try to sleep so I'm not a complete zombie mom with my 3yo "tomorrow".

SweetPeaK26 · August 2013

I was up, just not bumping!!!

I couldn't get comfortable in bed last night for anything! I was so crampy and restless. Came out to the couch for some Grey's on Netflix and started having some contractions. 2-3 per show (yeah, that's my method of timing them to see if I should actually start timing them!!). Finally pulled out the contraction timer on my phone, and they stopped. That was around 3am. Dh was up at 5 and the girls were up by 7... Gonna need some coffee today!

MamaInMN · August 2013

@SweatPeeK26 - I love that you were timing contractions based on the show! Is it awkward to ask an internet stranger how their hemmies are doing? If not...well, how are they?

Albertsgirl1982 · August 2013

I was up again tonight. All night. Yesterday I slept from 2:18 (after starting this post) until 6:15 and then from 6:30am to 11:30 and then from 3pm to 6pm. So tonight of course I couldn't sleep. Got into bed at 1am and was awake until now 7:44am. Sorry for the awake/sleep log! My logs are sounding more and more like I'm the baby!

I've been reading my favourite mystery novel series. I won't be doing that anymore. I started worrying what would I do if something tragic ever happened to DH. So then at 3:30am I am sobbing like a baby and I had to wake him up to console me. He was very sweet about it though and told me jokingly to stop thinking about sh*t I shouldn't be worrying about (a line from our favourite stand-up comedian). So of course that made me laugh and then I was okay. Just finished making French toast for breakfast.

Major props to all the mama's to be still working!!

psychgirl33 · August 2013

I went to bed at 7:30 when I put my daughter down and then was up from 5:00 a.m. on because I had plenty of sleep. Not used to being up that early!! But the upside is that I got to sit in peace and quiet and enjoy a cup of coffee!
