I am officially in my eighth month of pregnancy now, 11 7/8 squares. But the baby is for sure still getting whatever he/she needs, cuz there's less space inside me now than there was before. There's less room for food, so the four-meal-a-day plan is no longer sufficient -- I'm becoming a grazer. There's less room for my bladder, so I'm staying closer to home or at least planning routes carefully. And there's less room for my lungs, so I'm going up the stairs slower than before. But it all means baby's size keeps increasing, so there's little to complain about. And I have found that without a pillow between my knees at night (which I know is the proper and approved method for side sleeping) I actually do sleep and don't wake up with my hips throbbing. Sorry doc, I'd rather sleep.
