Ok so I am 30 weeks along & officially in the third trimester now. I had another check up yesterday & everything is great. Measuring good, heartbeat good. I have only gained 5 lbs so far. I can still button my jeans(although I'm thinking of investing in some maternity pants that don't apply pressure to the abdomen). I'm finding the belly is more sentitive now & anything constricting is very unpleasant. In the last week or so I have started having terrible heartburn. Now I know how Dan used to feel, poor guy. But the doctor said I don't just have to use Tums, I can use prilosec or zantac. Thank goodness because Tums just don't cut it and they are kinda yucky. My awesome sisters are doing a baby shower for me & saving me from having to do it myself. Thanks girls, it means alot to me.
My doctor is working over the Christmas holiday this year so I can pretty much have baby whenever. Thats kinda nice but I feel bad for him. I know somebody has to work the holidays; but it must be hard, especially since he has kids. I always feel bad for my doctors at work. They work so hard & are on call all the time- nights, weekends, holidays; it seems like they never get to see their families.
I'm so excited for Twilight to come out. I keep watching the trailer over & over & over. I have never camped out for an opening showing of a movie before but I'm really considering it with this one. I wonder how long I'd have to camp out in line? I'm going to be really good & pregnant by then & sitting on the floor for hours would probably be rather uncomfortable. But you know, it just might be worth it.
Brandi & I did a duet & sacrament meeting last Sunday. It went good & Brandi astounds me that she can sing & play piano at the same time. So cool. I don't know why but I was terribly nervous, as always. So I sat up there sweating & trying not to shake. I wish I could just get over my absurd stage fright; there is just no logical reason for it. Although, I suppose it can benefit me sometimes. I haven't had to give a talk for several years. I'm assuing that is because it was just too aweful to watch me up there nearly having a heart attack to make me do it again. But thats just fine with me.
Dan had a bad experience Sunday morning. We have had a lifesize poster of Duck football player Jeremiah Johnson up on our garage for over a year now(I know it's tacky, but Dan really likes it) So about 3am(according to our neighbor) while we were sleeping away, some hoodlum teenagers wrote in orange & black paint on it "OSU Go Beavs". Dan was so upset about it, and the fact that someone would come onto our property and graffiti on our home. It makes you feel violated, like you can't trust anyone. Living on such a busy street & with neighbors that are always home we have gotten comfortable & trusting I guess. We have never had anything stolen or any crime at all since we have lived there. It's just too bad. Luckily Dan has been able to wash some of it off, so it wasn't completely ruined.
Anyways, other than that - life is good.

Your singing sounded great!
Only 5 lbs, that is amazing, good job! I want to see some more belly pics!!!
As for Twillight, I can't wait either! It is going to be so good.
I've only gained 6 lbs so far and I thought I was waird! I'm glad you haven't gained much either. Don't worry, the last trimester is usually where you gain MOST of the weight. That's what happened to me in my last pregnancy. I ended up gaining 25, but really most all of it came the last part. Amazing, huh ;) As for maternity jeans- I found the BEST ones at the Motherhood store. It is a 'new' kind and the top is made out of REALLY stretchy thin material- I've had other maternity pants and they were honestly worse then wearing my reagular pants... So, if you go to that store ask about the latest trnd of maternity jeans.. I was excited to find them. Plus, they were only $25 (atleast when I got them..) Good luck with the hearburn!
