Hi All ~ it's been a while since I last posted. I thought I would just write a little update. I've been doing great with everything lately, but it is starting to really take a toll on me. I'm exhausted; my feel and back ache all the time. Being on my feet for 8 hours during the day isn't helping, but I can't complain too much. It's my job and there are peopel who have it much worse than I do! :) I've been having trouble sleeping at night because of constant back aches and the inability to get comfortable. I'm convinced our queen sized bed isn't big enough for all the pillows I need AND my husband. But I won't kick him out. I coudln't imagine not having him next to me...and the pillows.
Baby is still moving around a lot. I'm thinking "he's" riding in the lower half of my abdomin (frankly, I feel as though he's bouncing his butt right on my bladder most of the time) and most of the movements we feel are very faint and below my belly button. I think he's sitting more toward the back and near the bottom...it's rather uncomfortable at times. He gets heavy...I think that will make sense to most of you who have had children...he's just heavy to carry around when he's sitting like a boulder at the bottom of me. He also gives me heartburn. EVERY night between 8:30 and 9pm I get a raging bout of heartburn. At least it's consistent. TUMS help some, but how many TUMS can a person eat before they also get gut rot? ugh... Of course, I forgot to mention it to my Doctor, so I don't know if there is anything she can prescribe or recommend for me to take. Last week the nightly heartburn had spread into the day..and for a few days there, I suffered all day with it. so awful!
BUT...on a brighter note...Josh and I are franticly trying to put together a couple of registries. I realize that I have a shower coming up on May 5 and nothing registered for yet. We're headed out today for a few hours to start and hopefully by next weekend we have something completed. Sorry for all of you who need to have a look at it and get started...we're working on it! The shower date came up so quickly..I only found out about it two weeks ago! I'm excited, but a little stressed. how will we know what products to get? If we got the right brands? If we'll be happy with the products we chose. AH! even though I sound like I'm dreading it all, I'm actually really excited. I'm really ready to have this baby! really ready!
15 weeks and counting!!!!!!!

Sorry about the heartburn and back aches, it's stuff no one can really prepare you for till you experience it yourself, ugh! For your registery just pick out some stuff, you can always return it if you change your mind. Try not to get too stressed over it, you really cant go wrong with baby stuff! Another idea....take a friend with you that had a baby recently, they can give you some idea's of what you really need and what you can do without. Love you!
Sorry bout the heartburn. I wish I could say it gets easier but...well you know. Relish your quiet times and put your feet up. There won't be much for quiet or sitting time after your little one is here so enjoy it while you can! Love you! And baby Janos too!
Sorry you are so uncomfortable. Hope it gets better soon. Hang in there and think of all the fun you will have with your little one him/her grow and teaching him/her all your knowledge.
