I finally feel that I’ve settled into this pregnancy now. Although I’m the size of a small whale now (hopefully just because it’s my third baby and not because they’ve missed a twin or I’m growing a baby the size of a toddler), I feel better than I have so far.

Finding a Work/Life Balance – Why Part Time Works for Me
