Weekend's Over
Having Arianna taking a bottle at night before bed now is helping her with her sleeping. Aleigha always was fine. Kyler has not woken up for the past two nights in the middle of the night. But he is still waking up before 7am. I just want my kids to sleep so that I can sleep and get up early to work out. I can do weights on and off through out the day, but not all at once. But if I get on the elliptical too close to bed, I have even more troubles falling asleep. At least the two nights weren't interrupted. That helped.
I went to bed before 7pm last night though with a nasty headache. Not quite migraine, but pretty close. Would have been if I had had to stay up much longer. Thankfully my husband was understanding and took care of the kids the rest of the night. He did have to bring Aleigha to our bedroom so I could nurse her, but by then the headache was mostly gone. Which of course means I was awake and ready to face the day shortly after that. At 8:45pm. Stayed up too late. Today's one and only goal will be to go to bed at 10pm. I am planning on going to the walk in clinic tonight to get something to help me sleep that is safe to take while nursing. I hear trazadon (sp?) is supposed to be good. If I can get that prescription filled, maybe I'll actually sleep tonight.
On top of the headache though, I was dealing with a chemical pregnancy. Didn't want to be pregnant, and I've had a lot of these and some later miscarriages as well, but they're still hard to handle. Especially when I'm already dealing with some depression. I know that miscarriages are going to continue to be a part of my life, thanks to my blood clot disorders. But I still wish that wasn't the case.
Anyways, I'll let you all know if I accomplish today's goal in tomorrow's post. Any suggestions for a small reward for a small goal like going to bed on time?
(all babies are but you know what I mean). As far as the twin comments - I've always wanted to get the guts up to respond to the "are they twins" with a No, they were born 1 month apart.
