well, all your lovely posts made me feel better. And I think DH started to realise the gravity of the situation (i.e. insane wife incoming if you're not careful!) and came up with a gorgeous trick to try... because I end up just being more wakeful if he tries to wait to come to bed later - he said he'd set up a bed on the lounge floor (we have no spare room) and the sofa bed is too short for him. So single foam mattress on the floor - and he'd sleep there. And IF i manage to get to sleep before him, well then he can alway ssneak back into bed!

I was really pleased he was trying to come up with something. We've done 3 nights so far, and he's only snuck back in once, at 5am this moning lol! But our bub has been unsettled with a cold, so that's kinda mucked things up too. So it's not a solution yet, but we're working on it. Need to try the breathe right strips. Re sleeping on his back - that NEVER happens, cos I always make him roll onto his side. Sometimes when I've been in the lounge, have to go into the bedroom and roll him over so he's facing to the window, cos he's that loud even on his side, with the door shut AND the carpet snake in place... that it still keeps me awake from another room.

~Kim~ - I have a question - can you hear your DH stop breathing? I've listened to my DH and I can't hear anything that sounds like sleep apnea, but maybe I don't know what to listen to? Or can it happen and not be assessable by a lay person? I would like DH to be assessed... need to work on that.

Oh and ironically enough, the one day I tried to day nap - I couldn't. But usually I do avoid day sleeps unless I'm just absolutely non-functional. Then of course bub is unsettled and I feel like a total idiot for having not slept when i could! arrrgh. I have a plan that as we convert my home office to a second bedroom/nursery, there will be a day bed in there for me.... so I can sleep there during the next PG. Sofa bed in lounge/mattress on floor is just a PITA - we can't live like this forever! And we don't have that big a house we can have separate bedrooms - plus I don't want that anyway.

Anyway, off to bed for me now! Sleep well & may your husbands be quiet (ancient irish blessing )
