Maternity clothes?: Some of those pants are even too tight. I'm loving full panels! I try to get away with some non-maternity tops but they do show some belly.
Sleep: I hate waking up on my back- it's terrifying! Generally sleep is the same but I have a cold now which makes it harder to breathe. I am also napping a little more often, I think because I am working more. <3Sleep<3
Best moment this week: Just being so big that everyone comments and asks about it :o) Fun now, annoying later probably.
