Already NOT sleeping much at night
I realize complaining is a bit futile... but this issue will be here for awhile I know.
I already cannot get comfortable at sleep all night. I wake up at least 5 or 6 times with my body hurting. My Legs are the worst. They feel so very sore so deep in the muscle tissue. I am on my feet a lot at work right now... but I always have been and haven't had this - so I get to attribute it to the pregnancy.
I honestly didn't think my sleepless nights would set in for another month or so. I am only 25 weeks 4 days... about a week and a half from my third trimester and my 7th month.
The belly isn't the issue. Well, it doesn't hurt or bother me to sleep. But God my legs are killing me, I am using three pillows right now. One king-sized and two standard. I am hoping that the Snoogle I begged to get for Christmas will help. I am thinking a nice warm bath every night to ease the aches might help. (Even though I don't feel these aches until I am prone and trying to sleep). I have very little swelling as I am still wearing my wedding rings and my ankles are still pronouced. But I can't help but think drinking more water might help too.
I really hate to complain. All that matters to me is that the little guy is doing great ... and he is. But Mommy sure is cranky with all this. I am trying to get all the sleep I can now because i know I won't later. My body just isn't cooperating. And sometimes... it just isn't worth trying.
Thanks for listening...
