My last appointment

My 30 week appointment was tuesday. Arabella's heartbeat was 150 BPM. Good strong heartbeat. I found out that I am anemic. I have to start taking iron pills. I had been feeling super crappy, but I had heard third trimester is like a time warp back to the first. I have been super tired, fatigued more easily, and had a harder time making it through a shift at work. I thought it was just the way pregnancy went. So yesterday I started my iron supplements and Oh my God! I thought I was going to die yesterday. My stomach was so upset. I took them with my meal like I was supposed to, and it made work miserable.

Nathan's friend Erin just had a c-section. She has a HIGH pain tolerance. This chick was walking around with a broken foot for a week before going to the doctor. She called Nathan and told him when I have my c-section that if I am complaining about pain, that it is very real. Apparently this is the most pain she's ever had in her life. Now Nathan is not unsympathetic at all, but now he is worried. Now I am worried. I have no pain tolerance and stairs in our townhome are making me nervous.
