My heart is burning

So, I know it's been a long time since I've actually posted to the blog. But how could I possibly compete with my witty, hysterical husband's posts? He's just too good at this.

I have to say that the third trimester hasn't been easy. I'm just so tired and getting bigger and slower everyday. I've had a pretty bad case of heartburn throughout the pregnancy, but now it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. I never leave the house without my Tums because even water seems to trigger it. It's really bad; the last few nights it's woken me up out of a dead sleep.

I'm starting to grow out of all of my maternity clothes which used to be so big on me. And the wonderful news is that I'm supposed to put on a pound a week for the remainder of the pregnancy. I am going to officially be an elephant.

I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Now, I'll start going every two weeks. Hopefully I'll actually get to see my doctor this time as I haven't actually had an appointment with him in months.

Next weekend is our childbirth preparation classes. I know we'll learn so much, but I'm scared to death to see the dreaded "video" of some woman giving birth. As most of you know, I don't have a real strong stomach so I'm going to have to go to a happy place and zone out. I heard that you get the option of getting a mirror so you can see what's going on down there while you're going through labor. Let me make it clear: I want NO part of that.
