I got a good night sleep last night.....I even dreamed! I am so happy! I guess all I really need is a sedative to get more sleep.I don't need to go to the unit anymore.

That's awesome...I find that rest makes me feel so much better...that and sedatives...hehehe

deleted_user 07/15/2009

What did you end up getting/taking? Glad you slept!!

BipolarPrincess 07/15/2009

I drank no caffiene after noon

And a cup of camomile tea with some eggs before bed. So I had a full tummy....I tried to see if eating before bed would help.....maybe it was the tea...it was so relaxing.....

deleted_user 07/15/2009

wow, that's great! So you didn't even need a sedative then? That's great Princess, I'm so happy to hear that! All this time, it might just have been the caffeine..! :-)

Yeah I drink special soda now that costs like 2 dollars a bottle.....my hubby was kinda upset but he deals with it.....I switched to diet decaf coke.....

deleted_user 07/15/2009

what kind of sodas? Why are they special?

BipolarPrincess 07/15/2009

They are special because they have zero calories (diet) and they have no caffiene....I drink diet decaf coca-cola. Well I start drinking that today last night I had a diet decaf pepsi and I nursed it all night....

Hubby said last night I was snoring.....so I probably got more sleep than I thought.....What's most important to me is I got that 2 hour window or rem sleep......that's what I really needed.

deleted_user 07/15/2009

Keep up the good work and stacked of your tea....=D

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
