Oh my goodness, so this is what people mean when they talk about bad heartburn. Yick!! This is some nasty, burny shit I tell you. I’ve been having some minor heartburn off and on…. no real pattern to it, and it wasn’t all that disruptive, just irritating. But I fell asleep and woke up feeling like my throat was on fire. I ate a slice of bread with creamcheese and drank a glass of milk in an attempt to settle things. (I tried Maalox first, that didn’t help.) Guess there won’t be any more juice before bed. (I have had a major craving for cran-raspberry juice the last two days… been drinking a bunch of it!)<\/p>\n
My 21 week photos are up. Holy moly, I grew this week! I expected to look a little bloated… I didn’t expect my lower belly to have popped out that much!<\/p>\n
And according to my weekly weigh-in I’ve actually put on a pound or two this past week, which puts me over my starting weight finally! Not that I want to start packing on the pounds, but I’d like to see some gradual weight gain here. Devin is growing. It’s funny, I was all prepared to put on weight during this pregnancy, fearing the worst. My own mother put on a ton of weight during her two pregnancies and has never gotten it off… one of my fears was to end up like her. I never expected to lose<\/i> a good portion of my extra weight during pregnancy. Granted I’m not done yet, so don’t be counting my chickens just yet… but I’ve lost a lot of the extra padding I was carrying in my butt and hips. I find it a lot easier to sleep on my side now, since with the rounded midsection and not-so-padded hips I don’t get that pinched blubber right above my hip bone that I used to.<\/p>\n
It’s amazing to me how different each of our bodies reacts to pregnancy. It’s interesting to read threads on the different body changes that we’re experiencing… it’s so varied… a grab-bag of weird crazy symptoms. lol<\/p>\n
Okay, the heartburn has subsided greatly… I’m going to try sleeping again. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
