How far along am I ?

27 weeks have whizzed by... 13 more to go...

I’ve worked hard, done my research, endured a plethora of symptoms and would like nothing more than to have our wonder-baby on the outside.
Well, i'm all ready and digging in for the final endurance round and saying hello again to the familiar but not-so-lovable faces of fatigue and aches
Rapid weariness is caused by including the proverbial weight gain, shortness of breath and of course, sleep deprivation.


Yes, peeps, i’ve finally reached the infamous “live-on-the-toilet” stage. my feet are bigger, my belly is bigger, even my baby is bigger—and something’s
gotta give. Annoyingly, nature didn’t choose my butt and instead opted to compress my bladder, which is now being completely squashed by my baby.
So my best shot is to just accept the fact i'm going to need to urinate every 10 minutes (and if I manage to go longer, thank the good lord).
Besides tolerating the summer heat, I feel like I live in a sweat factory as a result of increased basal body temperature. Thank to our baby: this temperature increase stems from their body heat coupling with my own, which of course all adds up to one hot mama!
