Oh, sure you should do it, but when do the dishes get done, the clothes get to the washing machine, and the pictures get downloaded?<BR/>Now, Kiddo goes to sleep right about 8:00, and I typically fall asleep by about 9:00 (and sometimes 8:15 on the couch!) and don't wake up until she does.<BR/>Better sleeping days are ahead, Lori.

First thing I ...Lori, trying NOT to laugh - sorry. <BR/><BR/>First thing I ask when I wake and can't go back to sleep: God do you want me to pray for something? Think of it this way - when you're awake at 3:00 in the morning, your baby (if born), or mom-to-be across the world may need prayer for the end to their day, or good day for the next. Don't worry about it - it will go away. It's the perpetual cycle of "I can't go to sleep and I've got to get some sleep". Been there, and will again. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps God's giving you a glimpse of waking with baby. Yes, it does prepare you for those night feedings. I remember when I was pregnant with Bekah and Noah and they would wake me up in the middle of the night I'd wonder if they were beginning to set their schedule in utero. Welcome to the world of "pregnancy" even if it is "virtual pregnancy". <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for Little Rooney!! I almost expected you and Ted to adopt. I think it is a natural thing for you, considering all those sweet babies you helped take care of growing up. I thought I saw David about 6 months ago. I so badly wanted to stop the lady pushing his chair and ask her what this boy's name was. Didn't, but wanted to! You're a great mom - remember my dream?!<BR/>LY!

It's a terrible thing. I didn't sleep through the night for 15 months in my last apartment when my thin bedroom wall bordered my crazy neighbor's bedroom. We think he had multiple personalities. He would stay up all night arguing with himself. On really, really bad nights he would get drunk and play Debbie Gibson's "Only in My Dreams" over and over again on his stereo - so loud that the even people in the apartment building 3 doors down called the police! Anyway, I will keep you in my prayers and hope that this problem gets resolved soon.<BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog. You're a lovely writer and it's fun to witness a little bit of your adoption process. <BR/><BR/>I'm not going to Alaska and was hoping to maybe come for a visit up there. I planned to fly one way and then try to hitch a ride back home with Marianne when she returned from Seattle, but just found out that her best friend and her kids are driving down with her, so alas, there is no room for the likes of me:) I checked roundtrip prices and they're more expensive than flying roundtrip across the country. Holy cow, Portland...what's the dealio? So I may have to wait a bit...<BR/><BR/>Are you coming down here any time soon? Good luck on your home study tomorrow! I look forward to reading all about it:)<BR/><BR/>StaciAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-50636611956607939262007-05-30T11:50:00.000-07:002007-05-30T11:50:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tip, Stephanie, but we tried them a...Thanks for the tip, Stephanie, but we tried them already and they unfortunately don't really work for us.:( His snoring seems to be in the back of his throat, not in the nose. He sounds a lot like the suction thingee they use at the dentist to suck the spit/water out of your mouth.

Like Breathe Right Strips. My hubby uses them and I get to sleep (mostly) uninterrupted. -- He has a crazy habit of ripping the dern things off in the middle of the night!!
