Feel the Burn

Heartburn has finally reared its ugly head. With Joseph's pregnancy I basically had heartburn from the beginning, and lived on TUMS. At this point in the pregnancy I thought I might make it through without heartburn, since I had kidney stones and all. But I think I was wrong. To top it all off, I can't take TUMS with my history of kidney stones because of the way it is metabolized and excreted through the kidneys. My OB doc said to take aluminum or magnesium based liquid anti-acids. Hmmmm, yummy. Here I am at almost 25 weeks. My sister came over to watch Joe, while David and I went to my nephew's graduation. I feel HUGE. At the graduation there was another pregnant woman standing next to me, who I thought was probably not quite as far along as me. Oh no, she was due in 4 weeks. I think my mouth dropped open, because she was so teeny tiny. I felt like a big old mooo cow when I told her my due date.

Here is David and his nephew Kyle. He's such a cute kid. In the background is Peter, the ordained minister who married David and I.
