I'm getting there, too.  I have definitely had to slow down.  I am 25 1/2 weeks.  But even since the beginning of my pregnancy I have noticed not having the breathing capacity I used to have to sing or talk loudly.  (I sing at church and speak to small groups.)  I read in one of my books that early on in pregnancy it's due to hormones and later on it's due to your lungs being squished.  But it wouldn't hurt to mention it to your doctor.  I keep a list and mention everything I can think of to my doctor.  haha!  Bet they love that!!!

maybe im not good at putting this into words

i feel like im huge...i feel like im carrying this baby right in the middle of my chest it is taking the wind right out of me when i move around (walk around, housechores, etc)....im not tired all the time but if i try to move around and do things i lose my breath quickly
