We all know and love little packages... sometime the best presents are in the little boxes with beautiful ribbons. I received on Tuesday a beautiful new present.. this one however didn't come in a little box, this one was wrapped in a utilitarian plastic bottle with childproof screw top lid.
My RLS has gotten so bad I have been sleeping around three hours a night. It doesn't make for a good mix of moods in the morning- i would have to consientiously tell myself everymorning not to get upset at anyone becuase it was me that was the moody one-- not anyone else.
When I went in for my Dr. apt on tuesday I mentioned this situation to the Dr. She immidiately said she had had RLS with her last pregnancy and knew how tough sleep was to come by-- would I like a presciption for Ambien. There was no complaining from my side of the room.
That night I slept 9 hours- without moving. How many of you at 9mos could go nine hours without getting up???? I had to run to the bathroom when I did wake up-- but I have been a new person. At least the last few weeks will be doable. There is definite gratitude for little presents in little bottles from me!

Who is your doctor? I have been wanting to switch to a female OBGYN...Do you like her?
You had better plan on sending that Doctor a big tip! All joking aside, I am a firm believer in the miracle of sleep and am glad that you have found something to help you get it. Best wishes for these last few weeks! Hang in there!
Hooray for drugs! Ambien is awesome. Can't wait to see pictures of your new arrival :)
