I haven't been around lately because well I'm tired and I'm attempting to mold the recliner to the shape of my butt when I'm not chasing little man or confirming that he is still my little man. We appear to either have some jealousy or fear that mom will disappear for a couple days again. I'm not sure which. All I know is the longest I have slept in a stretch is 2 hours. It's at this point that either squirt or little man are up... and usually crying. I wonder which burns more calories going to the gym or juggling a new born and a toddler. Right now I'm guessing the second one.
I have realized some very important things in my up all night lack of sleep clarity. 1 I could probably shave hubby bald and he would never wake up or stop snoring. 2 people who are up late must suffer from constipation I swear every other commercial is a medication, something to swirl around in a glass of water or a food promising regularity. I'm beginning to fear for my regularity this is obviously a serious issue with us up all nighters! 3 jillian michaels is attempting to make millions from an untapped source. The recliner/couch butt imprint people who don't sleep. I hate to tell her this but watching chiseled people jump around or workout on her new guaranteed to burn more calories than any other machine equipment! Well um they just make me snuggle my butt more firmly in place and think nasty names better left untyped. Now that I've filled you in on the plights that affect up all nighters you can consider yourself more informed and I'm going to attempt 30 minutes of sleep to see if constipation is only an early night issue or do the 3 AMers suffer too?!?!?

We know why you are not journaling daily. Taking care of yourself and kids is more important. It would be nice if your husband could get up just one time in the night so that you could sleep at least 4 hours straight, right? Not a lot of husbands do that, the excuse is that they are working a real job and that taking care of the kids is the job of the housewife. My sisters husband is like that.

Gosh, bless you. Bottle up that energy; I, for one, could use some of it.

Oooh little man seems to be struggling to adjust to the new life in the house, he will need some time to rebalance himself. I hope they both settle down in some kind of a schedule soon so that you can catch some sleep. *hugs*

Men will never understand sleep is more treasured then diamonds. Hope you find a way to catch up on some this weekend!

Hope you get some sleep soon. My two and my granddaughter did surprisingly well adjusting to new siblings and granddaughter had 3 at once. We convinced them that the new sibling(s) were their babies. Kinzie at 14 is still very possessive over her brothers. Do you have family who could take the kids for a night or day here and there and let you just sleep? When the triplets were little I would keep the kids 2 nights every other week (work schedule was weird) and they were an hour away. Mom and Dad were exhausted as there was always some little one up.

I would take magnesium before bed-always kept me regular! (But I did need additional help of prune juice right after birth

Magnesium will do that, just don't take too much at one time. I take it as if I have low magnesium levels I get migraines, it also helps with calcium absorption, osteoarthritis is an issue

I'll bet you constipation ads are just at that time because a lot of seniors suffer from insomnia.
