Think I have finally...

hit the I am too uncomfortable to sleep phase :(  I think I only got 3-4 hours of sleep last night. Just about everything hurts when I lay down and no amount of pillows tucked here and there seem to help. By the off chance that I find a comfy position it never fails that I then have to pee. 50 more days to go ugh.

Look outside of the spa for a pregnancy massage. The places that do massage after a car accident and nothing else do have therapists who have pregnancy trained massage.

I'm actually allergic to Bendryl as crazy as that is. My hips are the worst part too. When I wake up in the middle of the night I have to stand for a minute before I can even walk. It doesn't help my siactic nerve is acting up as well.

Heat and massage.. only thing I can think of. NyQuil has been pretty tempting these days... mydaf was being goofy and suggested using a hammock... just may work!

My soon to be middle child was super active at night and wouldn't you know he didn't sleep through the night until he was 18 months old. Oh that was hell.

I'm a belly sleeper too. I think that was what made me more uncomfortable than anything else when I tried to sleep.

Oh I miss sleeping on my belly so much. She's actually really mellow at night so I'm crossing my fingers she'll be a good sleeper.
