Sleep is My Friend

I love to sleep. I know I will have to adjust to less sleep someday when I have my baby but for now I enjoy it so much. I ended up sleeping another 8 hours or so last night and into this morning.
A few things I forgot to mention in last nights post. I gained like almost 10 pounds last week. I'm pretty sure it was almost all water weight and I have now lost like 5 of it in the last 2 days but no wonder I felt like crap. My whole body last week on IUI day felt heavy. My fat felt heavier than normal. Which has led to some yucky muscle spasms in my back. I had some on my right flank area on Saturday night that had wondering what kidney stones felt like. The spasms finally went away though. I also have itchiness everywhere right now. I usually have pretty sensitive skin and have in the past had rashes that I never have figured out the cause for and it's back. It actually started back in like August or September with one spot on my inner upper arm. Now it's on both inner upper arms, under my breasts, under my stomach, insides of my thighs and behind the knees. I hate this and am afraid to even use hydro*cortisone cream. I did find some stuff with no steroids and have been using that but it doesn't work as well. I hate being itchy.
I bought a new Christmas CD yesterday by M*nnheim Ste*amroller who has some of my favorite Christmas music. I tried to listen to it while I was going to sleep last night. Didn't work. There is singing on the CD and the voice just about scared the crap out of me. There I was hovering on the edge of sleep and all of the sudden there is a mans voice in my bedroom. I'll have to restrict that one to awake hours.
Oh and I had a question about buying music online. I have in the past bought all my music from W*lmart but am rather frustrated. Apparently I can only load it on one computer and therefore can't listen to it on my laptop and it wouldn't transfer onto my MP3 player either. So I need a new music service to buy from. I was looking at I t*nes last night but couldn't find anything that said if I could load that music onto MP3 players that weren't Ipods. I don't have an Ipod or an Iphone and I'm not really that likely to get either as I have an MP3 player and I don't want to switch phone carriers to have an Iphone. I also was looking at one that you pay a monthly fee and can download a certain number of songs per month but I don't really know if I like that idea as well. If anyone had input though it would be great.

Well, you know I love my itunes, iphone and the ipod. Truly, truly love them. I actually buy music legally all of the time. I know, my kids call me crazy, but I was always a good girl.

B has an MP3... a creative zen I think. She has the napster service that we pay like 15 bucks a month for and she can download whatever she likes. She listens to a greater variety than I do, so it works for her.

I can't listen to her MP3 stuff on my ipod, but we can get my itunes on her stuff. It just takes a few extra steps. Of course all of our cd will go on either.

Was this helpful at all or did I ramble?

I have no idea about the MP3 thing (I have an ipod...so I just use itunes) BUT I was wondering if you are on progesterone?? I used it this month for the first time and it caused a wicked rash (see my page for pics, lol). Now, mine was a cream BUT all forms of progesterone can cause rashes. Just FYI...Hope you feel better!!!

I have an ipod so I use itunes... but I am pretty sure you can use another type mp3 with itunes, like kittenroar said you just have to go about it a bit different way.

I hope your itchies get better or maybe it is just a really good sign!

I also have an IPod so I am not much help.

Sleep is my best friend also!!!

I hope your itchies go away soon. Can you soak in an oatmeal bath? Aveda makes a great oatmeal soaker...
