Pregnancy question
How would you naturally say the following?
I'm not far along enough to skip in front of everyone at the supermarket checkout line.
I'll be too close to the due date. I won't be able to come. [pregnant]
Of the 3 of us, I've been trying to have a baby the most amount of time and you've been trying the shortest time.
Thank you
