Monsters Are Eating My Brain

When you wake up and you are itching IN YOUR SLEEP. Can I just say “ow”?

These little guys are really starting to drop down lower in my body and just GROW. My rib cage is suddenly a little smaller again, and the belly is bumped by my legs on stairs and upon sitting. Also, the bottom left  part of my belly has broken into a rash of new (and painful) stretchmarks. Not a pretty sight, let me tell you. At night, the itching of the belly becomes nearly unbearable! I am not sure what else I can do to stop it. Lotions or oils bring temporary relief at best (we’re talking 10-20 minutes). Last night, I finally got to bed somewhere near midnight and was dozing in and out…I kept waking up to me itching my belly. The thing is… it feels so good to scratch it, yet it hurts so bad! UGH. by 1am or so, I got up to put more lotion on the belly–that worked for about 10 minutes. Finally sometime after 2 or 2:30 I fell asleep and the belly stopped itching. Of course, I also saw the 3, 4, 5 and 6 o’clock hours for the nightly potty breaks.

Phew, this whole twin pregnancy thing is surely exhausting…..
