I have 2.5 months left and so far:
Pros:

- my thighs don’t kiss each other while walking
- I can still see my feet
- no cankles
- I can still take my rings on and off (this used to bug me last time)
- No headaches (like my last pregnancy)
- No heartburn (like my last pregnancy)
Cons:
- Back hurts at night
- Need to sit down and rest every time I’m on my feet for a long time
- ALWAYS want to drink cold beverages; always thirsty
- difficulty sleeping
- full bladder, kicking baby toy
- can’t lift, push, pull anymore
- no rough housing with Emma
We’re all really excited for Baby Z…esp. Ate Emma. She really is so affectionate with this baby. I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has passed. And it’s true, somehow, this pregnancy is much easier than my first one.
