I toss, I turn.
Fan on, fan off.
Feet out, feet in.
Pillow, no pillow.
Sheets, no sheet.
Snuggle, no snuggle.
Stomach, then back.
Fetal position, to flat out.
You would think after 24 years of sleeping I would know what works. I wake up tired and all my muscles tight. A headache.
Matt is going crazy. I move all night long. He says I "jump" when I turn over.
When I do finally fall asleep, I am never really all the way asleep, because the mother in me, is always listening for crying in the next room over.
He would snuggle all night long if he has his way. I get too hot in a matter of minutes, and sometimes within seconds with my very own werewolf, Jacob, I mean Matt.
The bird. Oh how I hate the bird. Specifically the crow that makes the worst sound in the world and wake us up at 5:30 am.
When the top sheet is on, my feet are squished at the bottom of the bed all night. I wake up and I feel like I have been doing ballet for 9 hours.
Are my nights full of sweet dreams and deep sleep over?

Hello Private! Maybe being private will help you sleep better at night!! :)
I think it takes till your youngest is at least 5 or 6 till you sleep soundly again.
oh if we had the remedy to a GOOD night SLEEP. I found that taking baths at night helps me sleep better. Try it...maybe it'll soothe that nerves! :-)
I know, just today it hit me that I am exhausted. really really exhausted. I tried sleeping during both Presley's naps today - I have never done that before! I usually don't nap at all. So now my house is still in need of attention and I am still tired ...
One day we will get our sleep. Luckily our darling babes are worth it.
Ani,
The answer to your question is YES. Those days of sleeping through the night were over the the day you conceived Kate. Not sleeping from the moment of conception is God's way of preparing you for those teenage and college years. Ahhh, yes but it doesn't end there Ani. After your children have left home and are living on their own the menopause begins and the whole not sleeping process............gets worse. Anyhow, I have no experience beyond the menopause but just maybe soon I will have nights full of sweet dreams and deep sleep oonce again. I miss you Ani.
funny you mention this, because i just posted this on my blog. I DO NOT SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT. And if I do, I am sooo not comfortable. what the???? crazy how OUR BABIES are the ones getting a full nights rest, and WE are the ones going crazy. ironic, if u ask me!
