1729 Here, sleepy sleepy!
Why are you awake? It is so very past your bedtime, young lady! Yes, yes. I know. Tonight I apparently have a *NEW* super-fun pregnancy ailment/complaint: insomnia
Actually, it quite literally took me 2 full minutes to remember the word: insomnia. My brain is withering within my skull, I swear.
Lunch today went well. Because I was meeting a group of my mommy’s friends for lunch, it always has the potential for being a wee bit somber, mopey, or melodramatic. I’d planned on letting them in on the pregnancy news today. I feared that mommy’s dearest friend in the bunch would go all weepy on me. It went alright. They were, of course, quite happy for us and blah, blah, blah…your mom would be so happy!
I found a chicken pot pie on the menu & thought it sounded quite homey and comforting. OMG! It was to die for! $12 worth of pot pie heaven.
The boys and I got home just a few minutes before our regular naptime. And boy was mama ready to nap! Gusser is a sweaty little napping buddy, however. That and he TOTALLY hogs the bed! So the nap was a little shorter than I would’ve liked.
I decided to open up the house today. I turned off the air and threw open the windows. Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep. It’s kinda stuffy or something. Too warm for the covers. Too windy with the ceiling fan turned up to high.
Let’s face it, I’m just cranky.
I did get to see my friend Margaret for an expert eyebrow intervention this evening. Since she’s an esthetician, I tried to pick her brain for ways to fix my chin zits. She told me what to do. Unfortunately, I was looking for the magic bullet cure-all. And I didn’t get it. Basically, I shall sit and spin…and not pick them. That is all.
TBU had to go to a visitation service for a distant relative/friend this evening. He got to see many friends he hasn’t seen in a long time. Which was a nice sidebar to a crummy occasion.
I put the boys to bed & then watched DVRed Dog the Bounty Hunter & Intervention. I am so incredibly lame.
TBU and I watched more Olympic hoopla – swimming, while he folded all our clean clothes & I managed not to puke. I slunk off to bed around 10:30 and here I am at midnight…tired, but not sleeping. I was just getting so aggravated laying in bed like that. Maybe I should just suck it up, shut the windows, and turn the air back on.
Two people just walked by our house…walking their dog. A big @ss thing that sounded just enormous.
It’s been two weeks…Dry Lady comes to our house tomorrow. Yippee! At least I got that going for me.
Ok, I’m off to close the house back up. This is stupid.
Nighty night.
I used Benadryl to sleep when pregnant. If you have cystic acne, that usually has to be treated with some sort of antibiotic, right?

tylenol pm was my best friend for a couple of weeks. i took half of one about an hour before i wanted to go to bed. sometimes laid there for a bit, but it worked wonders. hope you got some good rest!

If you have another boy, I will be shocked. I had the insomnia too. Try a glass of milk and a banana before bed. Not only will it help with muscle cramps, but it makes you sleepy too.

I hear ya, sister. Insomnia and I are old, old friends. At least you did something semi-productive with your time, writing here. I always end up watching QVC or I Love Lucy.

OMG I am so addicted to intervention- you need to start watching THE CLEANER with Benjamin Pratt!

i have to apologize, just realized that you are on my faves, but not checked off on the side. so if you tried to follow my trail and saw that i only had one entry, sorry. also, this is not a request to add me or to read me, or note me, but i know how it feels to click on someone and get the “you’re not invited” sign. and if all of that didn’t make any sense, please just disregard. i’m goingnow…

I’ve had insomnia this time around, too. How maddening is that? You are freaking exhausted & can’t sleep. Oh, the irony! I did use Benadryl one time & woke up feeling like I was drugged/hung over. Never again! I’ve heard Unisom is supposed to work. My OB approves that one.
