Tums Are My New Favorite Candy

Tums are candy right? They are good candy too because they have calcium! My heartburn during pregnancy has always been a little rough but now that I'm in the third trimester it is getting worse. This kiddo is growing and my poor body does not know what is going on. Something has invaded the natural order of things and leaving me in misery. Hahaha. Isn't Carson sweet?

Pregnancy Things:
Week 29:

Andrew wasn't around for this one. :(

Cravings: Mostly the same things. Lots of ice cream with chocolate syrup or just good 'ol chocolate milkshakes. I eat a lot of snack type foods right now too. I can't really sit and eat entire meals because there's no room anymore. I basically graze all day and then when I get home I eat a small dinner and then I'm done for the night.

Feeling: Lower ab pain, which my OB said was normal. Back pain, also normal. Nausea - yeah, this has never gone away. Insanely tired. Like, I remember being tired the first trimester and a bit the second but holy cow; I am INSANELY tired now. Around 3:00pm every day I fade and I fade fast. I'm basically useless at work from 3:00 - 4:30. (Sorry coworkers of mine). I still feel pretty decent most days though and really have nothing to complain about except normal pregnancy symptoms. I am starting to get a little more anxious too because in reality I'm about 10 weeks away. That's scary to think about.

Other Things: Heather is working on getting my baby shower put together! I am excited about that. I know some of my out of town family and friends get to come and I will be so happy to see them! Plus, with it being at mom and dad's house they have plenty of room to act as a hotel. I hope they know that!
We did this to the nursery on Friday:

It is coming together nicely! Mom also bought some shelves with the option of putting those cloth tote drawers in them. So, I have that in there as well. Now all I need is my changing table and that room is pretty much complete for furniture! (If you are wondering, the letters came from Hobby Lobby and the whale decals came from Babies R Us)

Not much else is going on. Everything at this point in my life is baby related. This last weekend mom, dad, and I loaded up the car and headed to Tupelo, Mississippi to go to my cousin Kim's after wedding party/reception. It was really great to see family but let me tell you how much that trip sucked. It is about 8 hours to drive and the first half of the trip we broke it up. On the way home though we did it all in one go. I was miserable. I distracted myself by watching my TV smut (Pretty Little Liars) on my iPad and that got me through most of the trip. I had to get out of the car every once in awhile though to stretch my legs and walk. 

The day after? I was sick. Very, very sickly. I ended up staying home because I was so sore and pukey. Definitely not going to be taking any more long car trips in the near future. Baby and I are staying put at home. 

Oh! I do get to meet with my doula again on Saturday and I am looking forward to bombarding her with questions and all sorts of random crap floating through my head. I'm sure she will love it.
