Yep 4am here. Been awake ever since. Threw in the towel at 5:30 and made a cuppa and started sending work emails.

I know what you mean! My day starts at 3am everyday, I'll have a wee then I need a drink... The list goes on.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I can't remember having pregnancy insomnia like this before.

But saying that I actually woke up late today, 7.30, and I'm not used to it I feel all disorganised! It's gonna be a rushed school run this morning!

I'm lucky as nursery is close to home so I get DS up, dressed and out the door and I'm usually home by 8am and don't start work til 10am so I have some time to myself at home before I leave.

I got a shock this morning when my 3am pee turned out to be at 7am...actually quite disappointed as I was so tired but had to go to work

I've actually started to like that time in the morning because no ones shouting mummy, or husband asking where his socks are that are right in front of him!

I woke at 7.30 this morning at bang straight away I was needed at least at 3am I can come round and be ready for the day before the kids and husbands arise Grin

I wish I could wee more than a tablespoon at a time. All night long it keeps going. OH getting cross at the amount of loo roll I'm going through!

I know right! A full pee would make the effort of getting out of bed worth while.
I'm like, bitch please! (to my bladder) you drag my arse out here for 3 drops! Angry

Hilarious cnmorgan! I'm up several times around 3-4 can't get back to sleep. Have to be up at 6:30 and appear to fall into the deepest of sleep (you know the drooling kind?) at around 6:25!

Cnmorgan i couldnt have put it better myself! Im currently staying with my in laws for extra support over christmas and trying to get to the bathroom quietly is impossible due to the creaky floorboards!
Its not uncommon for my mother-in-law to announce how many trips i made when i see her in the morning Blush

I am so jealous of my husband who sleeps through the night and then has the world's longest wee at 8am. I want the world's longest wee! I am actually really looking forward to doing a proper one once baby comes ;)
