Ugh! I got no sleep last night. I'm having awful aching in my lower back and legs. I had this when I was expecting DS but it wasn't until the last month or so. With him I also had restless leg syndrome which I haven't noticed that yet but I can't imagine aching like this for another 4 months. The lower back stuff is b/c I have a retroverted uterus so it presses onto my back but it's the legs that are killing me the most. Then to top it off, DS woke up at 4:30 am screaming b/c he had a bad dream..he thought there was a bug in his bed. I think b/c he got stung by a guinea wasp at my parents the other day. Anyway, he was UP after that and would not go back to sleep. I'm exhausted. Okay..whine over. I think I'll go shop :)

Aww...I'm so sorry to hear that. I remember those can't sleep nights and pains all too well. I hope you can catch a nap later!

Bad news from me, Nikki; everything came sooner and harder with the second for me.

With our first, my husband said, "I hope your next pregnancy is a lot worse than this or you'll never want to stop having babies." By my last trimester with my second, I told my husband DAILY, "I never want to be pregnant ever again."

I think part of the reason it was worse is because I was chasing a toddler all over the place and couldn't nap every afternoon. Ahhhhh, naps. I miss them.

Awww that stinks, Nikki!! I hope you get some rest today!! I also hope this doesn't last for the rest of the pregnancy!! I just got my first charlie horse this morning....YUCK!!!! I was hoping I could avoid those this time. And yes, go shop!! It definitely helped me this morning!! LOL!!

Yep, I figure it's the whole 2nd pregnancy thing...it might also be that I'm 34 instead of 30 this time around lol...

Laurie I've been having the round ligament pains for a while..if I move wrong in bed...holy moly it kills!!

Good news is that today it's only 10 more days until I finally get my ultrasound :)

Unfortunately everything started a lot earlier with the second one for me too. Heartburn, sciatic pain, etc. However, with the second one I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with leg cramps like I did the first. But, I didn't sleep as much either. I just had a really, really hard time sleeping with #2.

I hope it's just a one time thing Nik! Can't wait to see the results of your US!!!

I had a hard time sleeping with this last pregnancy. Each one gets a tad bit worse lol

Hope shopping helped a little! :)
