Changes in me?

I feel trapped in my own body. I can't move, I can barely roll over. The last couple weeks are always the hardest. It's really hard that I can't even pick up Arrolyn without panting. I can't wait to hug her and pick her up and swing her around. 

Maternity clothes? 

Oh who cares about clothes right now. Get real.

Sleep? 

I'm so incredibly THIRSTY all the time so I drink water 24/7 which means no sleep at night due to going to pee about 20 times throughtout the night. I can't roll over and my pregnancy pillow isn't even helping anymore. I am straight up exhausted. Nice big cappuchino is calling my name after this is finished.
