East side gallery in Berlin This is my sixth week of bed rest prescribed by my gynecologist due to premature labour.

What I didn’t expect, since I’ve been expecting

Two and a half earths. Two and a half! If everybody on this planet lived the way I live, we would need two and a half earths! This seemed totally unbelievable to me at first. I spent the past few years mentally patting myself on the back because I was under the impression I was …
