[quote=Pepita]Poppy, that day of healthy sleep sounds divine. I've always struggled with sleep despite trying to keep good sleep hygiene. As luck would have it, I'm one of those people who feel wired after taking unisom / benadryl. (That's relatively rare --  in case I'm scaring others away from a good remedy!). Right now I'm trying to keep active, go outside for a while in the early afternoon, and do my best to sleep. Last pregnancy my OB told me to just go ahead and take melatonin (I took .5 mg prepreg) on nights I really needed but I didn't end up doing that. We'll see how things continue to go this time around...

Today my big issue is that I have one of those awful neck kinks where you can't turn your head. And no advil of course. Tylenol is like a cruel joke. Does it work for anyone? I feel like the manufacturers were like "let's just shape some harmless white powder into pill form and call it a painkiller, see how many fools take it." (Hopefullly it at least takes the edge off of things, though I never think it does).

Poppy, I want what you're having! That all sounds good! I just polished off 16 crackers with "cheese spread" (it was organic at least!) and for dinner I had a grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich because our original plan was fish and I wanted to die looking at the pale, quivering filet as I was about to prepare it. I do want to try to be healthier when I can.

Moving right along....

Jin, do you know about these?

I may have said this already, but if I haven't, when I was pregnant with my first everyone told me not to buy maternity clothes until I "had" to, that otherwise I'd outgrow the first things, etc. I also sized up pants. I don't know if that was great advice, after all. Once I was finally in maternity clothes I regretted not doing it sooner. Yes, it is pretty early, but if you're sizing up, try on a pair of maternity pants and just see. I've heard IVF drugs can mess with your weight, though I bet you are much slimmer than you think (aren't we all? well, let's hope :) ). Anyway, there are consignment shops if you want to avoid spending too much on "early" clothes that you might outgrow later in your pregnancy. I like wiggle room (VA) and monkey's uncle (Cap Hill). I hope you get to work out soon! And I hope I can do better with working out than I have been.

Talk soon!
