SLEEP

I am 17 weeks and 4 days pregnant as of today...if you estimated thats i'm 4 months along. I remember my first pregnancy with jayden and i honestly have to say it really seemed like cake compared to this one...i never had back problems with my first pregnancy and with this one i've had back problems since i was probably 10 weeks along...with my first pregnancy i had absolutely no morning sickness and i ate like a cow (gaining almost 40 pounds in 6 months!)...with this one for the first 3weeks after finding out i was pregnant i was constantly sick, not throwing up but dry heaving which i consider much much worse!!! and as of last dr visit i still hadn't gained any weight. And now the big big one...when i was pregnant the first time i could probably sleep all day if i wanted to, i never had any discomfort at all when i slept up until i was in the hospital getting ready to have him...but this pregnancy i can never SLEEP! i find it quite ridculous really lol with it being the summer time i am up at least three times getting something to drink and then up again maybe 6 times because my back hurts so much :( well needless to say these past three days i have slept quite amazing compared to the 7 weeks i haven't been sleeping good i've gone from waking up 6-10 times a night, down to three, and then last night i woke up onle once!!! and i'm probably jinxing myself for telling everyone this but it really excites me! In the five years jayden has been born i really haven't lost much sleep for the most part he has been a good sleeper..that first year he was off and on but since then he sleeps through the night he hasn't ever had horrible night mares, or wet the bed...he kept me up once with his breathing problems one night when he was like one and then just recently he woke up with a stomach bug..he threw up and then went straight to bed afterwards...trust me i am not complaining about this, i definitely count my blessings!!! I just wish that sleep would come easier with this pregnancy and i know its not!! these three days i consider myself lucky for being able to sleep through most the night, but i know soon the sleepless nights will come back and every morning i will wake up once again miserable..i hope this just isn't a sign of whats to come when the baby is born!!!!!
