Ever have one of those nights....Follow

I miss sleep. I really re... wait hold that thought baby is crying again...

I will forever preach the good news that is SleepNumber. Greatest bed in history of the world.


Except for last night.


Don't be scaring me about the baby xy...I prefer to be completely ignorant and continue assuming that the baby will use the toilet and sleep through the night after the first week.

Watch out and take your echinacea and zinc. I was doing that right before the plague hit me.

Update: Day 6 of limited speaking ability. At about ten at night I start to hack and cough if I talk too much.

At least 2 or 3 times a week lately, but usually anytime between 4am - 5am. My next door neighbor leaves his house around 5am for his job and he his truck is diesel. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't.

Don't get me started about his 17 year old son. He doesn't actually drive yet, but his buddies all congregate over in front of their house and unfortunately, they are all rap music lovers. I have no problem with them loving the rap, it's the frikkin' cranked up BASS thump thump a-THUMPIN' that gives me a headache and drives me up the wall.

I only mention this is because the inconsiderate little pricks have awakened us on 2 consecutive Saturday nights (1:30am and 3:30am - their parents were out of town for the 3:30am incident). Thankfully, the my neighbor and I get along great, so after speaking to him and his wife when they got home, the kids haven't done it anymore in the middle of the night.

Still, it doesn't stop the little pricks who come over to announce their arrival to everyone within a five mile radius that they are driving up in our neighborhood. I'm glad it only lasts a couple of minutes.

Damn kids. Turn off yer debil moosic and stay offa mah lawn!

Do you live next door or something? I have a neighbor whose kid gets together with friends to work on cars in my neighborhood (the homeowner's association has already told them that this a violation of terms) and in between the loud music and the screaming at his girlfriend, mother, and anyone else who tells him to keep it down, it feels like some kind of Spike Lee joint from Fri-Sun.

I've been having bizarre dreams. Last night I dreamt at least twice that I had opened the front door and marveled at how dark it was outside.

My older brother sleep walks, on occasion. Wonder if I've started up again, as well. (We all did when we were little. Place must have looked like Grand Central in slow motion.)

I'd gotten pretty used to sleeping peacefully through the night but now I get up twice a night with so much pressure down below that I can barely walk to the bathroom. My doc said it's normal to carry lower and to feel more pressure with second babies but fawk it hurts sometimes.

My pregnancy dementia has hit me really hard the last few days. Since Thursday I have:

- left my credit card at a store
- left the house keys in the keyhole and left them there all day with the door shut
- left a window of our new van open all night (we do not have a garage)
- left the house with the entire bedroom's lights on and window open

Xythex don't you also just love how they **** the minute you change their diapers? That used to drive me nuts.

The best is when they **** as your changing the diaper, right at the point you put the new diaper under them, and then pee on you while you're trying to do damage control to save the new diaper.

Are those phases related to growth spurts? Or is that an old wives' tale?

While I dont have scientific proof Sam, I would nod at it being a growth spurt thing. I've noticed the past week or so that my sons pants are all of a sudden too small for him. Plus he' sbeen starting to get the hang of getting dressed fully himself now.


And Flea, I am the heaviest sleeper I know of, EXCEPT when it comes to my boy. My husbands alarm clock will go off and he could stomp around all he wants and I wont wake up. the moment I hear my son padding down the hallway though, Im up.
