Goal accomplished! Sort of...

 Well I was in bed before 10 last night!  Didn't fall asleep till closer to midnight though.  I did make it to the dr and got a prescription for Trazodone.  Took that, but they did warn me it could take up to a week to take affect.  And I still woke up sometime in the middle of the night.  I remember looking at the clock, but I don't remember what it said, which is really weird for me.  I don't think that's ever happened before. 

Part of the problem with falling asleep last night was probably due to a nap I ended up taking just after 5pm.  Was probably about a 20 minute nap.  Just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.  Having a miscarriage really wipes you out emotionally and physically, even the ones at 4wks.  I'm still feeling it today, but there's definitely an improvement.  Kids slept well last night though, and all slept in till 7:30am.  So that was fantastic! :-)  I'm finally seeing some hope around the corner!

There is always hope!

Sorry to see that you are having such a rough time. Life can be hard. I do understand some of the things you are going thru and they will get better.

But I am happy to see that you got to sleep in until 7:30...I love it when that happens. My kids are 11 and 8 now so I don't have to be up right when they get up but I can def remember the days when I would pray for them to sleep past 6am!

Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight!

Light!

Maybe there is some light in your sleepless night tunnel now.  Hmmm, now that I think about that statement, it really doesn't make sense!    But I think you know what I mean!

Thank you...

...for the kind comments on my blog.  I needed to hear some words of encouragement, they are much appreciated. 

trazadone

So sorry you are having a rough time. I can't imagine what a blessing it is to have all these great children, but at the cost of your sleep and sometimes sanity. Just wanted to warn you about trazadone. I use to take it and I was allowed to take up to 300mg a night. I only would take 100-200mg though, and even then  I was so lethargic in the morning and couldn't move. The medicine made it worse for me than my usual 3 hours of sleep a night. Good luck with everything.
