Sleeping

or more accurately, not sleeping:( I knew that carrying twins was going to be rough on my body and am so thankful that over the past few weeks things are been good:) I am still fairly mobile, no more puking, the contractions aren't causing PTL.....but....I can't sleep worth shit.

Let me set the stage for you -I sleep in a full sized bed, alone. Greg was kicked out a few weeks ago, he took too much room:) I have two large pillows under my head which help keep me elevated enough to hold the heartburn at bay. I have a pillow on either side of me so that regardless of which way I roll I have a pillow to stick under my belly. I also have a pillow to put between my knees to take some pressure off my hips. I have a heating pad that alternates from hip to hip all night long and a bottle of water and Tylenol within reach.

Even with all that I wake up about every hour because of the hip/sciatica pain. I usually have to get up, walk around a bit, then lay back down. I cannot, under any circumstance, be in bed for more than 6 hrs w/o being in excruciating pain. And this week it is really getting to me:(

Sorry for the vent, I needed to get that off my chest. I love my sleep. I could win the sleep Olympics before this. 10 hours? Every night. 15 hours, yes please! The bonus here is that I will be completely used to the sleep deprivation once the babies come:)
