I've always had trouble sleeping, but it got worse right after I got pregnant. Thank goodness I'm pretty sure the baby implanted high, I usually only get up once to pee at night, sometimes not at all. The past few nights I have been waking up at about 3 am because I'm hungry though, lol. The thing that helps me the most is having a long shower right before bed, and just sit on the bottom of the tub and let the water spray my back and neck.
Another thing that is hard, is trying to train myself to sleep on my left side, lol. I wake up in the morning on my back :/

I'm having trouble sleeping, but I found a great remedy... I went on iTunes and found some soothing music... my favorite to listen to is Sacred River by Gandalf. It's a whole album of this GREAT music. There's a ton more but that's what I put on my iPod at bed time. I'm usually out by the second song. I wake up in the middle of the night to take my ear buds out but then I'm still in such a trance that I fall right back asleep!

DMarie919- I'm not able to stay up late, but I don't sleep well at all! I am waking up and tossing and turning all night long. I have had this problem from the beginning of this pregnancy.

Sam: I know what you mean about telling people and then fearing something will happen.  I have just told practically everyone this week and now I feel like it was a jinx also!  I NEED to start trusting that everything is okay.  And like my friend said, there is nothing I can do otherwise so I'd better just enjoy this time....she's right but I just feel anxious still.
Anyone out there experiencing insomnia?? I haven't slept well all week and now i sit here at 1247 am and still not able to sleep.  I had a decaf sugary drink at the mall earlier and I think eventhough it was decaf it had enough in it to make me a little hyped up especially since I've really not drank anything with caffeine in it at all the past 12 weeks.  Its gotten my stomache all blah also.  So I am hoping it's just from that and the fact that my dh has had a cold and has been snoring....but I hope it's not going to turn into a regular event!!!

haha I have actually lost about 10 pounds but I have a little baby bump you can see when I have on a tight shirt. I feel like I can feel almost a bubbling wiggling feeling all of a sudden today. I was laying down for a nap and felt it. I don't know if that's what they call quickening or what? It wasn't gas cuz trust me I know what them bubbles feel like... it was almost like.. okay this is demented, but if a fish gets caught in the corner of them plastic bags you take them home in they wiggle... it felt like that... SORT OF haha. It's hard to describe. I felt my son around 17 weeks so I bet it'll be about then again too... MAYBE sooner if I'm lucky haha!

angelbaby and Lori, GRATS!!!

Wow, I'm getting really behind too. I have been showing/bloating since the beginning too, but I had a lap. surgery done last year and my tummy had to get stretched, then right afterwards I got pregnant, and gained about 30 pounds in the first trimester (big red flag that it wasn't meant to be) and I have never been able to get rid of the pooch or the weight since, so I kind of had a head start this time lol.
I'm really excited to start feeling movements as well, though I know it wont be for quite awhile yet.
I told work right away this time, because I held off last time, and had to go in one day, saying, "Well, I'm pregnant but I might be losing my baby so I need to go to the hospital now", and because I didn't want it to stress me out. I'm really regretting it now though, because right after I told them , they hired someone else and cut my hours back and gave her all the hours, so my maternity leave is going to suck :/
