32 Week Dr.'s Appt: Growing a Watermelon OR Pressure: Pushing Down on Me!

Well, after 32 weeks of non-medicated bliss I succumbed to the first prescription: Pepcid (famitodine). My heartburn has been so unbearable at night. I wake up 2-3 times and take Tums. It's a wonder Jason can stay asleep while I turn the bottle upside down and make so much noise!
Had my BP taken, and originally it was 147/85 (which is high) and the doctor threatened to put me on new BP medication. Two meds in one visit???? NO! He re-took my BP with another cuff, and announced that I squeaked by this week with 140/82. We'll re-evaluate in another 2 weeks, but it looks like I'll be adding another medication to my repertoire.
Finally, during the measurement phase I asked how much the baby weighs right now. Scary answer??? 5 pounds!!! 5 pounds at 32 weeks. Lord, I still have 8 more weeks to go! Am I going to give birth to an anvil?
