Night Owl or Struggling with Insomnia?

I just watched the series finale of friends for probably the 99928th time and still...tears.

@calimom2524 don’t cry! Just start from the beginning! I just watched the one about a Butt you can catch up in no time lol we just keep rewatching it brings comfort I guess. Even hubby puts it on for me before bed.

I'm going to order a custom wall paper mural. The nice part, other than it being dramatically cheaper than hiring an artist, is that it is removable and reusable. Still expensive, but somewhere around $500-600 rather than $2k+

How do they stick those on? Every sticky wall thing I’ve ever tried to use wouldn’t stay on correctly. Surely for $500 they stay on well.

Up again because of this tooth. I have 26 more doses of antibiotics, and then I need to find an oral surgeon who will remove it during the second trimester (or pray it doesn't get infected again until after the baby is born, and then I'll have all 4 wisdom teeth out). I'm hoping the pills kick in and the swelling goes down by tomorrow.

I did make sure there aren't any plastic bags for the big cat to get into tonight. Didn't stop the little cat from baking biscuits on my stomach, waking me up.

@jsnakehole tooth pain is the worst! I had to have an emergent root canal when I was last pregnant so I feel your pain! Hopefully, you feel better soon!

My 2.5 year old just woke up non stop coughing 2 hours ago. He is back in bed and now I can’t sleep! I guess I should do some work

dirtanddiamonds · January 2018

I’m gonna be so tired tomorrow.

I’m elbow deep in the worst kind of best food right now.

@dirtanddiamonds
They have a couple of different adhesive methods, but the peel and stick is the one I think I'm going with. It's like a big sticker. The others go on just like wall paper with paste, but aren't removable.

Mkrosieo · January 2018

Do you guys fall down the google rabbit hole at night when you can’t sleep? What type of stuff do you spend time researching?

derbysquirrel · January 2018

I've been on an Ancient Rome kick lately. It started with "The History of Rome" podcast and took off from there. I was just reading about Agrippina the Younger, and wondering if that was too aggressive a middle name to give a baby

ssthomps · January 2018

Yep, but it usually things that you shouldn’t pregnant while pregnant. Like genetic disorders or how parents live with a child with autism. Crap that makes it even harder to sleep.

mrslittlemac · January 2018

Like @ssthomps I also look up the scary ish. Under the guise of being "prepared" or at least "well informed."
...But seriously, wtf brain? I've been twiddling my thumbs for 3 hours now trying to go to sleeeep.

melprop · January 2018

DH started a new work schedule this week, 5am-2pm. He likes it, but now I’m waking up at 3:30-4am with him and can’t go back to sleep. I’m usually a 9-10 hrs of sleep/night person, but now I’m always tired.

I’m starting FT subbing again on Monday, so this should be interesting. I’ll probably be exhausted by the time I get home at 3-4pm.

dirtanddiamonds · January 2018

I read somewhere that Thomas Edison electricuted an elephant. So I researched that. Turns out it wasn’t him. But it did happen. And there is video. It was a circus. Awful. Awful. Awful.

So ueah. That’s what I do when I can’t sleep. I love non fiction. And history.

Mkrosieo · January 2018

@derbysquirrel idk about aggressive but it’s a mouth Full, it is a cool story though. Our boy name is along those lines, it’s a family name.

@dirtanddiamonds that is beyond awful Smh

i agree though I always end up looking up crazy worst case scenario stuff.

dirtanddiamonds · January 2018

Lol. I’m almost this way. Mostly just pregnant and hungry now. So. Prungry. Lol.

Mkrosieo · January 2018

Ooooooh I’m using that one!!
I’m wide awake, I know I previously thought I didn’t like reality tv but lol I can’t stop watching this sister wives stuff and finding sister wives. Like must turn off tv but there’s so much drama lol

derbysquirrel · January 2018

I should go to bed, but at midnight I hit 13 weeks, and I want to see what the app says about week 14. It's a stupid reason to stay up, but for some reason it feels like staying up on my birthday, or New Years. It's one of the nice and fun things about being pregnant, unlike all the constant symptoms!

I used the home doppler today and found the heartbeat, of course as soon as we found it the fetus moved away. Still fun to play hide and seek with it. I wore maternity jeans for the first time today. They're great! I also borrowed a friend's 4 month old to try out my baby wrap, and it worked great. The baby was super chill, and looked like he was about to doze off if I left him there any longer. Kind of a fun pregnancy day, though I'm still fatigued and nauseated. I think it's getting better, though.

ladygali · January 2018

@Mkrosieo I’m not much for reality tv (Bachelor, Amazing Race, that kind of thing) but definitely fascinated with Sister Wives and the Duggers and Teen Mom type stuff. I must like to watch a hot mess in action! lol

xirk · February 2018

I’ve always been a night owl but it’s out of control right now. Almost every day I doze off and take a little nap around 8-9pm and then wake up and can’t get back to sleep until 6 am. It sucks.

I work nights at least but I’m only working part-time right now anyway.

I’ve been watching The Crown on Netflix so I keep going down a google rabbit looking up stuff about the history of British royals. As if that’s ever information I’m gonna need!

Or, I just read a million reviews of baby strollers, car seats, monitors, etc until im convinced that I won’t be happy with any of them because there’s always at least a handful of bad reviews. Lol.

xirk · February 2018

@dirtanddiamonds there’s a documentary on HBO called Apology to Elephants that’s talks about that I think! It’s horrible.

calimom2524 · February 2018

It’s 3:30. Woke up to pee and now I’m wide awake. Tomorrow is going to suckkkkk.

delujm0 · February 2018

DD2 was up from 130-4 last night, I assume due to teething because she was vocal about her displeasure. I gave her the tylenol around 230. It was terrible. Once you're used to them STTN it is brutal when they don't. Thank god I'm working from home today and didn't have to get out of bed at 5am. I would have fallen asleep at the wheel on the way to the office.

redheadbride15 · February 2018

Anyone else here want to bitch about their snoring partners? My H normally snores a bit but he has a cold and it’s out of control. I literally want to smack him all night long. Ear plugs are useless. I keep moving to the guest room in the MOTN but the bed is uncomfortable and I can’t sleep there either. And then my H gets all whiny because I left the room. I haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in a week.

Yeah. I’ve become more violent lately. Thank you, hormones. But I will slug him. Hard. Lol. And then pretend to sleep. Hahaha.
