I have reached that time in my pregnancy where I'm just not sleeping more than 4 hours a night and for sure not in a row. Whether it's because I'm just not comfortable or the sleep issues I have had with Lyme I'm just mot sure. I think it's a little of both as comfort is for sure an issue in bed even with four pillows an a body pillow. I have been taking Unisom off and on for the last two years for sleep. At first it was for Lyme related issues of sleep which was before I knew I had it so I thought it was just anxiety thinking about work. Now I take 1/2 tablet to fall asleep but after about two hours I'm back up going to the bathroom and then not able to get back to sleep.
After sleeping maybe 3 hours on Friday night I got out of bed and knew I was going to have to drag myself through the day starting with cleaning out the fridge. Yes, it kept me up thinking about that. Joe was putting a new transmission in the truck so I would have the girls all day. Typically something that I love and I make sure to pack the day with lots of fun. Only this day went awry at about 7pm after hitting my breaking point of being tired and I had some more bleeding which is my body telling me to STOP moving. I totally lost it and cried calling Joe to tell him to get home NOW. Which he did. He was able to calm Selena, put Tally to bed and do a load of laundry while I zoned out on the couch watching the Beaver game. It was a compilation of the week which caused me to lose it.
I'm happy to say by Sunday I was doing better. This pregnancy has hit me harder than the others, maybe it's Lyme, maybe it's already having two busy kids, maybe it's just the hormones but I will say I'll be happy to be back to myself in December.
