Iron Man We just went to see a screening of Iron Man tonight and our son was kicking up a storm. It is a pretty loud movie with lots of great special effects. So I'm sure he was wondering what was going on. I think tonight, even after the movie ended, was the most our little boy has moved yet!
The movie was good. I recommend seeing it...pretty tight and super effects...funny in parts too!

Update-
Joe is done with his labor union workshop that lasted all weekend. He said he learned a lot and it was definitely worth it, but he is also a bit overwhelmed with information and tired after the intense three days. He's off at an audition right now.
We picked up writing our script again today...a few days off seems like forever. It's onto the third and final act! The completion of the first draft of our first feature-length script isn't too far off! Yea!!
I was depressed for some reason yesterday. There is just so much going on, not only in our personal lives and in our families', but also all the time in the news...there are such major things happening in the world and in the country...it can feel overwhelming and depressing to process it all. I know the hormones were getting to me yesterday too...just felt like crying so much. That hasn't really happened before during the pregnancy. I listened to music and chatted online with Lara for a long time and that helped a lot.
I've been exercising every day since my last checkup and really watching everything that goes into my mouth...portion and quality control. Lots of water too! My muscles were sore and stiff yesterday from the yoga and walking. After my walk I was so tired that I didn't even stretch...just sat on the couch and thought I was going to fall asleep right there. I made myself get some food first, though, and then crashed for an hour.
I feel like I might be carrying another bug. I hope I don't get sick and that this is just a result of the cooler air last night. I woke up coughing a little and feeling like I might be getting a bit of a sore throat...we'll see. I told Joe that maybe I caught it chatting over the internet with my sister in Boston...she's been sick for almost a week. He said: Sympathy Sickness!
Joe gave me a shoulder massage before bed which helped me fall asleep. Its such an operation to get into position for sleeping...pillow between the knees, small towel under my belly (pillows are too big, but it is uncomfortable to have nothing supporting my ever-expanding tummy, so we figured out the hand towel remedy!), my foam pillow securely under my neck and head, my ear plugs in, and then the blanket over everything. I have to readjust everything every time I go to pee or turn onto my other side...and I have to move slowly because it hurts otherwise. Lots of grunting.
