Sleeping, Belly, and Nerves!
Been awhile since I have been able to post or even read posts. As some of you might remember, my husband and I had to make a move from Texas to Pennsylvania. We are now living with my aunt and uncle and things are going really well. We both pretty much realized that we would not be able to afford our rent and all of our expenses AND the new expenses of a new baby if we did not move. So in the end I am glad that we did decide to move.
I am now 30w3d and since I have not been able to post for a while (and since I will not be seeing a new doctor till the 29th) , I have a few questions and a pic!
1. I have noticed that I am having a horrible time sleeping. Not only am I having trouble finding a comfortable position, but once I do I can just not seem to fall asleep, no matter how tired I am. Last night, for example, I went to bed at 11 and did not fall asleep till 3:30. Any suggestions on getting a good night sleep? I have tried doubling up on pillows which has helped me get comfortable, but it seems like I cannot get my stomach and legs there. My legs are really restless. I cannot even cuddle with my husband because I am just not able to feel comfortable with him close to me. Is that odd? I seem to need a ton of room.
2. I have been taking my Prilosec in the mornings because my stomach was just sick all of the time. Most of the time, this does the trick, however there are sometimes where this does not seem enough and the acid production is unbearable. I have tried Tums, but they are not seeming to do the trick. Is it ok to take a Zantac during the day as well?
3. I am also getting to the point where I am super nervous about the baby being born. Not only the birth, but the fact that I am NOT prepared at all! Anyone else get the jitters around this time?
Finally...a little pic! Me at 30 weeks.
Thanks all!!
