No this isn't a 4D movie, that was just my water breaking.

Hello all you Leif trackers! We had another doc appointment this week. No problems at all. His heartbeat is good, I am exactly the right size (according to my actual doc and not that crazy skinny doc I saw last time), my uterus measures 25 inches...centimeters...I don't remember, but apparently you should have the same number as the weeks you are pregnant and I am. I have to do the glucose test before my next appointment and at that appt they will schedule my next ultrasound to see how he is growing and see if his placenta has moved away from the escape hatch. However, even if his placenta hasn't moved my doc assures me that I should still be able to have a natural birth...oh goody. I am really rooting for a c-section at this point. I mean have you ever seen a birth video, I have seen "Faces of Death" movies that have scared me less.

In other news, I have a new companion I would like to introduce, everybody meet heartburn, heartburn this is everybody. Definitely not as bad as the vomiting but really annoying just the same. The suck part is that I am pretty hungry but if I eat enough to feel satisfied, whoa buddy, pain, lots of pain. Not just heartburn, but pressure around my lower ribs and kidneys. Small price to pay for your kid I guess. Oh! And why is it that I have to pee more frequently at night?! I mean come on, I am already tired and now I get to trudge upstairs (our one bathroom is on the second floor, anyone with an extra $5000 care to help us solve that problem?) every half hour. Joy.

I am in full swing of looking preggo, so much so that people are starting to ask me when I am due. It is kind of fun, and a little weird. If you think about it it's kind of a personal thing to ask about, "So when is the creature growing in your uterus going to exit through your vagina? Oh November, that's nice, just in time for Thanksgiving." The best encounter I have had so far was at the grocery store, a stock boy who had mental retardation pulls up beside me and asks me when I was having my baby, I told him and his whole face lit up, "Oh my god! OH MY GOD! That is when the Harry Potter movie comes out!" I was like "I know buddy, I hope I go into labor while watching it!"
