Geez - I take a nap and make dinner and miss a whole world of stuff on here!
Need to catch up, but I wanted to solicit everyone's best thoughts and/or prayers - my husband's grandfather is back in the hospital after a very severe heart attack and fluid-filled lungs. Apparently, he came very close to not making it this afternoon. DH is freaking out. Pop is like a father to him. So, please any good thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks ladies.
Anyone wear a night guard for teeth grinding? I just got one and i hate it!
I wore one for a few weeks. Hated it too. Instead, I taught myself to relax my mouth. I was surprised to realize that I clenched my teeth tight even when I was awake. The trick is to touch the tip of your tongue to the front roof of your mouth, just above your front teeth. Your jaw relaxes into it's natural position. Since I've trained myself to do it, I don't get any jaw pain or headaches anymore. I don't grind at night either.
Even my son, who we all know has the worst anxiety imaginable, only grinds his teeth while sleeping during extremely high stress periods. (I know this because I spent many hours in his room using his computer while he's sleeping.) This is where anti-anxiety medicine comes into play. I'd much rather treat my anxiety than wear a mouth guard.

I highly recommend Nyquill. It works much better than benedryl or OTC sleeping medications. It's awesome deep sleep. It doesn't lose its effectiveness, no build up of tollerance. And I've never had a problem with stopping usage. There have been times I've used it for a month straight. I thought I'd have trouble falling asleep without it once I felt I didn't need it anymore, but I didn't have a problem. My son now uses it too when needed. Yep, Nyquill is how we cured is chronic insomnia. Once he was getting better sleep, his daytime anxiety decreased dramatically too.
Thanks so much everyone. I'm trying to talk DH into flying down to FL but he's reluctant to leave me here so pregnant and I'm reasonably sure I can't fly at this point. If god forbid the worst happens, I don't want to be the reason he didn't get to say goodbye, y'know? Arg, this really sucks. I am so profoundly sad right now.

Don't assume you can't fly. Call your doctor. Find out for sure.
If you can't go, is there any way possible to convince him that you can handle delivery without him?

I will. I'm guessing it's unlikely because we've had complications and the general rule is not after 36 weeks without complications, but you're right that I need to double check. Hopefully we'll also know more about Pop's prognosis tomorrow.
Ha - I think I could convince him I can handle it - I just don't think I can convince him to miss it. But I have about three backup plans of family and friends staying here/being on-call that I set up for when he was out of town last week that I can activate if need be. A good girl scout is always prepared. I think I'm going to use the tack of "by the time we are done discussing this, you could be there and back already."
