36w3d- I never believed that there was such a thing as “pregnancy brain.” It seemed like just another pregnancy cop-out that women used to their advantage. 

35w6d- People are starting to look at me like I’m a ticking time bomb. Or maybe I just feel like one. Actually, it’s probably both.

34w3d- I’ve always just assumed I’d get an epidural. You don’t get an extra gold star when leaving the hospital for having the baby without any pain meds. 

33w2d- Word to the wise: Opt for the childbirth class that’s stretched out over a few weeks. Don’t think you’re being smart and efficient by signing up for the 9 a.m to 4 p.m., one-day class. It’s just too much for one day. Too much.
