As we enter month 9...

...I can barely take it. Work is the most exhausting thing ever. Yesterday I had to take a day of rest. I am wiped out by about 1 pm every day, even with a nap and lunch break. I feel and see the baby's every movement now. He must weigh about 6 pounds or so by now. I feel it all in my hips. The only thing that will work is sleep. It doesn't help that someone cooks something really foul-smelling at around 2 am every day and it totally wakes me up. I put the little air purifier we got in our room and it clears up pretty quickly now. I sleep with a lavendar eye pillow nearby.

I have a doctor's appt tomorrow. Maybe he will recommend that I work shorter weeks until I stop in two weeks. I could certainly use the rest.
