Meltdowns, that is. Dictionary defines a meltdown as: the melting of a significant portion of a nuclear-reactor core due to inadequate cooling of the fuel elements, a condition that could lead to the escape of radiation. Yep, that sounds right on target. Last night, for about the 3rd night in a row, I had a meltdown at bedtime. I guess kind of like a kid throwing a fit at bedtime. It is just that most of the day I feel miserable and look forward to bedtime, hopefully to sleep and get some relief...only to lie down and not be able to get comfortable or breathe or even go to sleep. It is like a kid at bedtime fighting what he needs so badly. I finally moved to the recliner and got some much needed relief. I told John that when he got home from work today we were going to have to move my bedroom to the living room. So, I'm making a nice cozy spot for myself here in the living room with Bella. I guess Jack and John get the king bed, appropriate, huh?
We also had our OB appointment today. Nothing significant to report...still "right on schedule" according to the doctor. My blood pressure is a little high but I'm learning to sit more and do less. I now move to the 2 week doctor schedule instead of the 4 week schedule. That is crazy to me but something that I look forward to because I know that we are getting closer.

molly...believe me when i say i know exactly how you feel! i walked to the bed last night from the bathroom and clint asked me what was wrong. i just started crying. my response was something about how fat i am, how i can't sleep anymore, how i pee every hour, how my bones hurt, how my feet hurt because they are swollen and too soft to walk on, etc.
9 weeks seems so far away..i know. but it's not. i remind myself that something about me continue to be a "good womb" for this baby...and i'm thankful for that. well, 90% of the time, the other 10% of the time i'm complaining about how i wish he'd get here.
we have to do lunch soon. i'll email you. can't wait :)
