I think I am turning into a giant pill! Seriously, I feel like one of those crazy people that thinks they have every disease and therefore take a hundred pills a day. I am pretty much there. In fact, recently I counted that I take....13 pills a day! 13! That sounds ridiculously unhealthy. But I must point out that 5 are due to pregnancy and 6 are due to a sinus infection and I should be able to stop those next week.
I am in the final stage of pregnancy and man I could not be more excited! I happily took my glucose test and got my blood drawn because that means I am in my 3rd trimester. Luckily I am not diabetic but I am way low on iron (I was with Owen as well). So that added on another pill, the dreaded sicky iron pill. It is green and stinky and makes me sick if I don't take it on a full stomach.
The next day I started my iron pill I went to the doctor because I have been sick for 2 weeks and not getting better. My head and sinuses were pounding and I couldn't breath. Lucky me had a severe sinus infection and so I have been on antibiotics and my head still wants to explode when I bend over slightly. Let's hope it gets better because toddlers and sick mommies don't mix.
I am almost 30 weeks pregnant now! Hopefully only 10 more weeks to go, and hopefully I don't turn into a giant pill before then.

Oh Mel.. I am so sorry that you have to take so many pills. I remember when I was pregnant and in the first trimester, Dallas wanted me to take Fish Oil so bad because it is great for the baby's brain. Oh they were so big. I gagged them down every time!
