Well Welcome to the Third Trimester!!

**Warning** I want to start off with alittle warning that this post is not written by a happy pregnant lady and may contain alittle bit to much (TMI) Lets just say the third trimester has not welcomed me with loving open arms..and quite frankly I'm pissed about it..mmmkay.

First off...I am sorry for having to switch the blog address. Well, we'll just say an estranged relative was getting a bit out of hand. Hopefully this will be the end of it, and also the last time I will have to switch to a different blog address.

This has been the first week of my third trimester. I have had a new and very VERY uncomfortable symptom arise. It started about 5 days ago, I had a Mexican pizza from taco bell (yeah..I know..I was craving it..and it was wonderful!!) I felt fine and fell sound asleep at 9p.m. I woke up literally choking on vomit..that apparently just crept up and went back down. Which scared the hell out of T.J. and I as I sat at the end of the bed choking and gasping for air. My throat was completely on fire!! I had taken 2 tums before I went to bed, and since it was only 10:30 I was a bit nervous to take 2 more but did anyway. I downed some water to try and put the fire in my throat out and went back to sleep. 11:36 The same dam thing happened except I actually did get sick. I know Your all thinking the same thing we were...the dam Mexican pizza from taco bell. I was now crying my eyes, throat on fire with a very tired husband rubbing my back as I made a new little bed on the couch for myself, thinking that sleeping up right would help. And I slept peaceful the remainder of the night. T.J. and I both brushed it off to the taco bell as I felt fine the next day. We even joked, laughing that Carly must not like taco bell.

To make a long, painful story short...This has been going on EVERY night since!! I have tried not eating anything after 5:00, only eating very bland things, only eating small meals at a time and sleeping sitting up. Nothing has worked, Ive lost weight, Ive lost sleep, Ive lost a bit of mind... so about day three I put a call in to the doctors and talked to a very delightful and helpful nurse (if only you could hear the sarcasm in my voice.) This is how our little convo went.

Me: (I told her what was happening, and also what I have tried to do about it on my own)

Nurse Helpful: Well why don't you try pepcid ac or another heartburn relieve medication.

Me: The one night I took like 6 tums in 2 hrs, I doubt another over the counter medication will work.

Nurse Helpful: You have tried everything else I would recommend trying for relieve.

Me: Sooooo what should I do, cause its not working.

Nurse helpful: Sometimes women with smaller torsos have problems later in pregnancy with this.

Me: hmmm well since I can not really change my genetic makeup, whats plan b?

Nurse helpful: Theirs not much we can do, just monitor your weight and if you start loosing to much call back.

Me: Really that's it

Nurse Helpful: How far along are you?

(um hello you have been on the phone with me for how long now...you really didn't look at my chart?!?!?)

Me: almost 28 weeks

Nurse Helpful: All I can say is welcome to the third trimester

I didn't say anything I just hung up on her.

So I dedicate this post to Nurse Helpful. "Thanks for the welcome_____!" (you can fill the blank in)

So I am pretty much at the end of my rope with this, all I am asking for is one night sleep and some rest for my poor throat which is dieing. So if anyone has any suggestions..I will try pretty much anything.
