Hey I'm not surprisingly still awake too! I think I may have corrupted fiancé's sleep schedule now, because he is still awake too >.>
It's nice you have company! Sometimes I see/hear my husband sleeping soundly and I'm so bitter after so many hours awake that I lightly poke him! Then I'm like "oh heeeeyyyy you're awake!"
Hey ladies! I suppose I'll join the party too. It's 2:14 here in middle Georgia. I woke up to pee, and I'm just going to stay up until 2:40 when it's time too cook DH breakfast and get him off to work! I give him props for clocking in at 4:00a.m five days a week. You couldn't pay me enough.....
I had a job I had to be at at four AM everyday, and couldn't leave until two PM everyday. It was definitely hell. (Be nice to the morning crew at Panera ya'll.)
DH does shipping/receiving at Lowes from 4-1, Mon-Fri... He spends all morning unloading washing machines and stuff! I'd be afraid of blowing my back out.
I know you guys have probably already read the articles about how interruptive the light from our phones are to our sleep cycle. We're not supposed to look at it within an hour of wanting to go to sleep, let alone read it in the middle of the night when we wish we were sleeping. Just a reminder.
And for the record, I do it all the time, even though I know it's terrible. :-/

I know. I've read that. However I'm awake whether I'm on my phone or just tossing and turning aimlessly...
I just can't turn my brain off. This is my first child and am due next week, just feeling so anxious makes it hard to relax and sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time.
Tell me how it's fair that the 9 month pregnant woman that has to be at work to EARN MONEY at 8:30 and is already sleep-deprived has to get up at 1 am and stay up to 3 with a sick child, while husband, who has to be at school at 11 am, gets to sleep the whole time?!?
My mattress quality is so bad that I had a dream last night that I found a mattress at a crowded grocery store, and took a nap on it. It was a glorious dream.
Well I did fall asleep for a few minutes. Had a nightmare about having a c section (go figure) and now I can't sleep again. Tomorrow is going to be so long
This birth ball is squeaky. DH is trying to sleep, so I don't think I'm getting the full benefits of it because I don't want it to make a noise and wake him up.
A coworker asked me this morning if I had a black eye. No, that would be the dark circles from not sleeping, but thanks. Guess I need to up my concealer game.
My SO was out of town the last two nights and I was really looking forward to some quality sleep. That bit me in the butt. I had terrible back pain no matter what position I was in. At least I could complain about it each time and not wake him up!
My husband had a near death experience by my hands last night. I was actually sleeping soundly for once, and he set an alarm for 3:30am FOR A VIDEO GAME ACHIEVEMENT that he "needs to check every few hours".
Of course, it doesn't wake him, it wakes me. I wake him, scold him, he gets up and is dicking around on his game while I stare daggers at him until I fall back asleep... AN HOUR LATER THE ALARM GOES OFF AGAIN!!!!
Might I add, my husband is THIRTY. We are not children, he had work this morning to wake up for, and yet here he was setting his alarm for all hours of the night to happily do what he needed to do for his game. Then he wakes up this morning, gives me a kiss, and happily reports to me "I did it!"
Oh my God how I could have shoved his phone up his ass.
In that stage where I'm deciding whether to get up and watch horrible TV (my 9 year old can work Netflix, but I've never tried!) or try to sleep. We have to drive 1.5 hours tomorrow - today - to my sister's for Easter and I don't want to be a zombie.
Also hoping this LO chooses not to come tomorrow/today, even though holiday babies run in my family.
I now have DD's stomach bug. Waking up to hurl is not something I am a fan of. Andplusalso, I am paranoid that this is somehow going to send me into labor. I need time to rest up from this bug before I can handle that
Ideas that seem great late at night: "My belly button is so shallow right now... Maybe I can tape a marble inside it so it stays in a perfect cup shape instead of popping out?"
@Missingchampagne Your post is so comforting because so many nights I need to 'tuck in' DH so he doesn't go to bed at 5 or 6am which makes him get up late, then push through the day super tired. He often annoys me by staying up till morning on Fridays/Saturdays when we have appointments the following day I'm a happy camper if I can get him in bed around or before 3am, which is when I usually get up for a bathroom break.
@brenlo42 Hope you keep yourself hydrated! That's how I got admitted last week. Contractions from either the stomachbug itself or dehydration from the bug.
@kimey1 I'm right there with you. DH is usually up till at least my second bathroom break of the night (around 3-3:30) on the weekends. And that's with me pestering every wake up that he needs to go to sleep, we have stuff to do etc. Then getting him up for said "stuff" is a nightmare. He's 34!
He was in bed tonight at 1:30 and I joked that the clock must be broken if it says 1 on it!
Luckily in the last 2 weeks he's been a little more considerate bc I'm having a hard time picking up our 2 yr old. But it hasn't happened easily and not every night...
It's 3:26 AM here in Georgia.. Laying in bed eating m&ms, and I feel something sticky in my nightgown. So my nipples are officially leaking. Like, real full-size water drops. I'm only 35+4. I didn't know it happens this early. Oh well, I'll put my boob pads to use!
@Ljljljl I have randomly leaked since 24 wks. Rarely both at the same time. 36+4 and I still don't leak all the time or at least not full on drops (I can see the dried up stuff).
2:20 and can't sleep after so many weird dreams, husband snoring, and a weird painful cramp in my tummy that only lasted for like the longest full minute. DH decided it would be fun to tease my nipples...yeah not fun to be teased with labor pains later.
No matter what I do I wake up every morning at about 5-6 am with some kind of discomfort. If I'm lucky when dh gets out of bed I sleep a couple more hours and that keeps me going!
Up since 2:30. Now reading Ina May's birth stories... It's nearly 5. Timing what could be contractions? Not sure, but they're consistent about every 9 minutes. Probably too early to tell.
Haven't been able to fall or stay asleep the past few nights despite being totally exhausted, probably because my ILs are coming to town tomorrow even though they weren't supposed to be here until Saturday. They would've been here tonight but got tired and stopped. I spent all day yesterday cleaning and left two tasks for DH today plus his homework. He skipped class last week and not only did he not do his homework, the house is once again a disaster area. I got home from work, saw his mess, and said fuck it. They're not my parents, they invited themselves to stay here, and I know I'll be uncomfortable for the undetermined amount of time they will be here. DH doesn't care that MILs excessive touchiness makes me uncomfortable so I no longer care if she arrives to a messy house. It seems my fatigue is making me extra bitchy, as well.
Re: Insomnia check in

tums are not cutting it
I am so done with life.

But you are not alone!

Preach it!
