Bump Watch: The Night Life

Who says you can't have a night life when you're pregnant?

A typical night in my life right now:

  • 9pm Start getting ready for bed. Prop self up with cushions to avoid heartburn. Turn on IPOD to podcasts or relaxing music.
  • 9:15pm Take TUMS for excruciating heartburn. Try to get comfortable.
  • 10:00pm Take more TUMS. Get up and go to bathroom.
  • 10:05pm Sam comes to bed. Readjust cushions and blankets trying to get comfortable.
  • 10:10pm Baby Olympics in my stomach. Marvel.
  • 11:00pm Get up and go to the bathroom
  • 12:00am Stare at Ceiling. WHY can't I SLEEP? I'm sooo tired.
  • 12:30am-3:00am Sleep
  • 3:00am Get up and go to the bathroom
  • 3:05am Try to get comfortable, Try to get back to sleep.
  • 3:30am Go lie down on the couch.
  • 3:45am-5:00am Sleep
  • 5:00am Get up and go to the bathroom
  • 5:05am Go back to bed, try not to wake up Sam
  • 6:00am Sam's alarm goes off. Get up and go to the bathroom. Go back to bed.
  • 6:05-9:00am Sleep
  • 9:00am Turn on TV. "Watch TV" and doze until need to get up and go to the bathroom.
  • 10:00am Eat Breakfast, Take Shower, Be Thankful that teachers don't have to work in the summertime.

Oh dear! I remember those nights! Don't worry, you'll be waking up at all hours soon to the sounds of a little cry. :-) I guess it's good practice. And I predict you'll have a furry little one with the heartburn... http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/318037/pregnant_mothers_with_heartburn_can.html

Love the blog, by the way!

I love the commentary. We have a new version:
8 pm bath time
8:30 jammies, stories, milk
9 pm lights out
9-9:15 kaleb cries b/c lights are out and he cant see mommy
9:10 kendrick comes for a kiss because he bumped something on the wall
9:15kendrick back for another kiss
9:20 kendrick back for a third kiss and told not to come out again
9:20-9:30 kendrick crying, wakes up kaleb; both cry for a few min
9:30-10 check email, clean kitchen
10pm parents go to bed
12pm kaleb wakes up crying because of teeth
12:15 kendrick awake from kaleb, comes to sleep with mom & dad-he is sent back to bed
2 am drink break
5 am lucas' alarm goes off
6 am boys wake up with wet diapers
we all "cat nap" in moms bed
7am sesame street while mom takes a shower, gets dressed and dresses boys
8 am breakfast
8:30 am ready for a new day

Not quite as disruptive, but still tiring
