I too had super wild and crazy vivid dreams while pregnant. Lots of people had good suggestions for getting back to sleep, but I don’t know if there’s much that you can do for the dreams themselves. My midwife said that it’s a complaint she’s heard of a lot with pregnant women. They just ran their course with me and I didn’t have any issues after my daughter came. They are nuts though! Hoping some of these suggestions help you get back to sleep.

I am more for medium colored floors with some texture.
That shelf looks intimidating to me but to those that can do, do.
Homemade frog eye salad (or Pepe salad as my grandma makes us call it) is delicious. I don’t put mallows or coconut in like some people.
When I was pregnant I would either wake up with Charliehorses or with hive down my legs. Melaleuca oil and a rice bag I could warm up helped a ton. The rice bag would relax and warm me enough to sleep again, but cooled down fast enough that it wasn’t bad for me or the babe.

My husband made that shelf for us and a friend one Christmas. It’s actually pretty simple…it helped that he bought the book which contained the instructions ?

I have subway tile in a herringbone pattern on my bathroom floors. I LOVE it! They’re a matte white tile with gray grout. They make me “…ah!!…” every time I see them.

I am preggo with number three, and cannot emphasize enough how much calcium magnesium pills have made a HUGE difference in helping me go back to sleep after the middle of the night wakeups! I used them daily prior to pregnancy, and have slightly upped the dose as needed during the pregnancy. Also, not sure if you use essential oils, but doterra’s vetiver and serenity are champions when diffused for sleep. These are critical for me sleeping these days—I have a four year old and a two year old that exhaust me enough, gotta have good sleep. Hope that is helpful!

mu theory on the dream thing is your body preparing for the constant wake ups when bubs comes try and rest throughout the day. Ikea crib hack, 1 you have the skills 2 you’re not going to have your baby in something that’s not safe so who cares about the crazies. I have brown coloured subway style tiles on my floors in the kitchen dining and laundry, done in the 70’s. If I knew the right paint I could use that would survive a family of 7 I would paint them white. Hate the brown but would prefer not to use the wrong paint and have a true eyesore. Alright get some sleep xx

I love plaid, and I think it’s been around long enough to withstand becoming Target-trendy. But I’ll answer your questions with my own question: am I the only one who doesn’t like subway tile?! Because.. I feel like I’m in a subway! Haha 😀

Haha! I LOVED this post. Great late night thoughts – I love the plaid and the idea of subway tiles!
