Here I am, at 3:00 AM, writing up a blog post. Why? Because I’ve technically been awake since 12 AM when I first awoke with really bad heartburn and sweating. Now I’m sitting at my computer, too scared to go lay back down in fear of the heartburn returning. I haven’t had an ounce of heartburn up until yesterday and today. And guess what? We’re out of Tums! I’ve been drinking milk but I always have to drink water after I drink milk to get that aftertaste out of my mouth and that just leads to MORE heartburn. It’s a vicious cycle!

Anyway, so I am sitting here, completely amazed that I am pregnant. I am only 16 weeks but am trying to pay more attention to how my tummy feels so that I can notice any movement in there. I am a big girl and probably wont really feel anything until 20-25 weeks or so, but I am trying to become more in tune with my body and what it needs or is trying to tell me.

I am so excited to have this baby and I am so excited that I have such an awesome man to share this experience with. He has made it extra exciting just by showing his own excitement. I’m a lucky woman!

Oh one more thing.. We got an appointment with a high risk doctor on December 10th for my big ultrasound. I will be 18 weeks that week and really looking forward to finding out the sex. Everyone I know is guessing a girl and all of the “gender predictor charts” online are predicting a girl. I don’t really care either way, as long as I have a healthy baby. Anyone got an predictions or guesses?

Oh and if you wanna swap Christmas cards, please email me (girlhaq at gmail dot com) so that we can swap addresses.

Happy Thanksgiving if I don’t talk to anyone before then!! Have a great one and remember to stuff yourself silly :) It’s the only day of the year that it is perfectly okay to be in a food coma!
