A way of preparing your body to get used to sleeping in smaller stretches at a time, even if the total time you sleep is the same. I have joked with previous pregnancies that I needed a rope tied across the room, about 1.5 feet above the bed so I can pull on it while I flop over! "I’ve got to get my emotions under control or at least recognize that the extremes I’m feeling aren’t normal." Recognising that the extremes aren't normal for you, that your feelings/hormones are leading you astray, and that "this too shall pass" (eventually) are steps towards getting the emotions under control (as much as possible anyway) and hopefully the Mister understands that this is part of life with his beloved woman, mother of his child. Umm, be prepared for the post partum hormones-- you ain't seen nothin' yet. All totally worth it. <strong><i>I love the idea of a rope to help me roll over LOL.

I don't know the details of that though. Enjoy your last weeks! I know its rough but be sure to enjoy them. <strong><i>Yeah, I've been making him change the litter since I've been pregnant.
