I'm up also. DS has been up off and on all night complaining of a stomachache which never happens. I finally gave up, and we're downstairs watching tv now. Going to be a long day!
My OBGYN recommended Benadryl and that has really done wonders. I don't take it every night though out of an abundance of caution but it works really well. I also sometimes take hot showers right before bed and use some lavender aromatherapy body wash. That works great too.
I have major insomnia going on too! I haven't taken anything for it, but I'm doing my best to try to relax, not drink anything past 9 PM just so I won't feel the urge to pee at night, and try to figure out anything that might be making me anxious. I'm not very physically active, so that could be part of it as well.
Oh yea...3:30am is my alone/freak out time. It's become a routine:
I get up to pee The dog follows me When we get back to bed, the dog thinks it's play time He jumps on DH's head Then I lay there for no less than an hour trying to get comfortable and freaking out wondering why LO isn't moving.

The End.
