191 pounds (better) and 18 days until my due date.
I woke at 8am rested and ready for the day ahead. I made the bed, swiffered the floors and got myself ready. I played around on Facebook and as always lost track of time. All of the sudden, it was time for me to go. I grabbed some fruit and yogurt from the fridge and promptly headed out the door.
