This pregnancy was not any different in any of those respects. I had gone from my standard size 2 and 112 pounds to 145 pounds of unattractive mass cl...d in loose-fitting maternity clothes. My husband had to travel for work but was usually only gone for 2 or 3 days at most. He had gone to the North East Coast and got stuck in a blizzard outside of Boston.
