184 Days To Go
By Sandi | March 12, 2008
So I’ve off’d the Ambien. It’s the only thing I take that the babies could end up being addicted to at birth.
Now, with Lupus, you do not get Stage 3 or 4 sleep unaided. Which means, that really restorative, healing sleep? Nuh uh. Instead, you wake up about every hour or hour and a half. And you get exhausted. Hence, the saving grace that is Ambien CR.
But I haven’t taken it since Friday. Although, I can’t see that it makes much difference, because I’m getting up every hour or so to pee anyway. AM. TIRED. But it’s tired without the druggy, hung-over feeling Ambien gives me. Which ultimately means that I can actually find my way to the bathroom without stumbling so much on the way there. YAY, ME!
My stomach’s getting big enough that people are noticing. Especially people who haven’t seen me in a while. And I guess since I’ve been waddling for weeks now, they have clued in from that, too. Someone who knew already that we’re expecting saw me yesterday and said, “Wow, Sandi! You’re REALLY starting to show now!” I’m hoping its the 2 bambinos that are growing, and not just me.

I think since you’re having two, you might get a little big. It’s so exciting though!

Oh… those twins getting bigger, I was thinking… Nevermind. B) I can only hope the sleep issue doesn’t have to last that long. And if I hadn’t said it in awhile, congrats to all 3 of you.
