Sleeping sucks.. (a quick rant)

I know I'm only going to double in size over the next 3-4 months.. but I hate that I flip flop all night, that I can't sleep on my back or belly, that I roll over to my right size and think .. nope..  then I'm back to my left, with a big pillow there for my leg to lay on because my hips hurt or my tummy hurts.  ..and then..  when I finally do fall asleep (IF I even fall asleep because omg I can't say how many nights I'm just up for hours wide awake), I'm up having to go to the bathroom.  Ugh...every 2 hours and I try not to even drink anything after a certain time at night but that doesnt even matter.

..but to just add the cherry on top..  I'm a light sleeper and my husband snores.  I am literally growling, kicking the bed, sighing or telling him "you're snoring!" all night. 

I can't wear ear plugs because I have a 6yr old that has medical issues and I need to be able to hear her.

grr

I'm really hopeful I'll make it to June 4th....    that's my cut off c-section date.

Oh, sister, I hear you!  My tummy finally popped out a few weeks ago, and there is now no such thing as a comfortable position to sleep in.  Also, I have had the WORST restless legs syndrome!  I never had it before I got pregnant, but now it's everyday!  Grrr!  Ah well, at least we're not alone in our plight!

Oh I hear you all the way! I feel EXACTLY the same! As soon as I do get even remotely comfortable, I have to pee! My husband doesn't snore but he has been kind enough to sleep out on the couch some nights if I really need the space. He doesn't mind as long as I'm getting as much rest as possible. I already feel HUGE, I am about the size of a 6 month preggo and I just hit 4 months! I can't even imagine how I am going to handle this huge belly! My doctor is planning on putting me on hospital bed rest around 26 weeks and I am not looking forward to it!

So June 4th is the date they are shooting for for you? That sounds good. I am thinking my little ones will arrive mid to end of May, but I'd be ecstatic if they stayed put until some time in June!
