Transcript

Look, I don't know what type of drug they're putting in the third trimester, but when I tell you I hit 35 weeks and I hit a fucking wall. I am exhausted. I am useless after 1:00 p.m. I do one any sort of activity based thing during my day, like yesterday it just happened to be that I just wanted to swap out my clothes from winter to summer in my closet. Big mistake, sister. I was literally on the couch for the rest of the day, exhausted. But it's a weird type of tired because you're I'm not napping. It's not like a nap tired. It's like this little gray cloud that follows you around and you're just constantly fatigued, but I can't like sleep it off. But I'm useless. Like my brain is not working. I'm my body feels so heavy. I like literally can't do anything after 1:00 p.m. Basically after I eat lunch, I'm done for the day. If you need me, catch me tomorrow.
