Thankyou guys again!! azqt.. i am eating the same diet that I was when i was pregnant.. so i dont understand why this is happening..lol.. I am sure that when he gets older he will eventually do better in the sleep dept.. but.. i gotta say.. i wonder if he will be like i was as a baby.. i slept about 4 hours a night.. every night.. i think the only time i have slept 7-8 hours was when i took a sleeping pill...lol.. PGB..lmao yeah i remember that.. if you are on the home page.. you can see one of my posts that went nuts and off the beaten path .. its been selected as "a post with the most comments" lmao thanks for the support!! Again.. thanks everyone !!
hey, don't know if you remember or not, but i posted to you on your post on maternal/child about the cereal....you know...the one that got so far off topic and stupid? LOL i just wanted to tell you i'm sorry he's not sleeping still. and i sure do wish i knew what to tell you to try, but being that you've got 7 kids already, i'm sure you've tried everything. i sure hope he gets it all straight in his little head soon and lets mommy get some sleep!! i don't know how you are still going!!! i hate to say it, i doubt it helps your feelings any, but it really will get better!! LOL take care and God bless!

Really watch your diet.. make sure you are eating food high in protein.. not sugar that should help at least a little, and just sleep when ever the baby sleeps! Hang in there.. it will get better =)

yeah.. i am taking vitamins.... I think i am severely calcium deficient.. my legs hurt so bad.. my oldest is 17.. and i have no clue as to what I would do without her... i did have ppd.. in the beginning.. but .. i am fairly sure that its gone.. i dont feel depressed at all.. I dont have any family. other than my kids.. and my dh works very strange hours.. i think the biggest problem is that my son Zane.. DOES NOT SLEEP. As I am writing this. I have had 2 hours of sleep.. Zane was awake .. ALL night.. and when i say that. i mean all night.. he didnt even slip off to sleep for half an hour or anything like that... it seems when i was younger.. i had no problem when i couldnt get sleep.. now.. seems since i turned 34... if i dont get sleep. my entire body does things that it never did..i had a great pregnancy.. i mean. i felt awesome.. but as soon as Zane came out.. EVERYTHING went downhill.. i dont understand that at all. yeah. i know the things about hormones changing.. etc etc .. but.
IF Pregnant women feel sooo good... why cant they give you a pill that does the same thing when you arent pregnant ?? If i KNEW what made me feel so good when i am pregnant.. I would definately do it..THANKYOU guys for your support.. i really really appreciate it..
I love my large family.. i just want to do whats best for them.. and for myself.. i end up feeling so bad when i cannot do the things i want to do with them..
Glad this forum has been formed...Im finished actually..had my last 5months ago at age 43...had my dd at 41 and have a ds who is almost 10. It took a yr to conceive dd...last baby ds was an "accident" conceived after unprotected sex once but am sooooooooo glad he is here...he is such a blessing!!! Hope all moms over 40 hang in there...It can happen dont give up...Yes i can identify with being more tired!!!! but having 3 kids and working full time and a husband who works on the road could also be a factor! had to go on lexapro for anxiety and depression this time around but am feeling like my old self.....would love to share my story/experiences with anyone I might be able to help or encourage....God bless and sticky baby dust to all over 35 who are ttc! :)
I had my son at 36 and I recovered in a snap. This pregnancy is dragging out and I feel miserable. I too am chalking it up to age.
My dd is 16 and is gone to work at a summer camp for the enitre summer. I sure miss her.
Are you taking your vitamins? Have you ruled out ppd? Do you have enought help?
Holy cow~~~ 7 god bless you girl! I dont know how you do it??? I had my last one at 30 and I was much more tired than my first 2.... just hung in there, though I have much more patience with the last.... I will be 39 in sept ...(Young 39)..lol I keep thinking that =)
My youngest is 8 and I too am excited at the thought of one more little one! Good luck to all of you... sticky~sticky~ baby dust to all. keep posted on how everything goes.

i am going to be 38 this year (december,phew!) and i just had my son at age 37. I have a daughter who is 17. Now the only difference between my energy level is that I am more focused and know how to prioritize. When I had my daughter I really didn't care about my career so much or my health. Now I have a healthy balance between work, family, health and spirit. I can't wait to do it again...but I can't even imagine 7!!!!!!!! I am tired just thinking about it.
