Update

Here is quick update on what going on in our lives. Nate is in the marathon portion of the semester. With only 3 weeks left the teachers are piling it on. He is up at the school all day, comes home for a quick dinner, and then heads back up till around midnight. He is working so hard and soon it will be time for a much needed break. Meanwhile I go to work, come home, make dinner, see my hubby for about 30 mins, give him a little pep talk, clean up, read, and then fall asleep (usually around 8:30) until Nate returns and we read scriptures and say prayers and then it's out for the night. Sometimes other things get thrown in there, but lets face it our lives are pretty boring right now.
As for a baby update..... I went in for my monthly checkup. I can't believe that it is almost 4 months already. Time is flying by so fast. We chatted with the doc for a few minutes, went over some things to do in the next 4 weeks to maybe help me gain a little weight. I have lost almost 5 lbs but no worry just yet. My belly is growing, I am down to 2 pair of pants the I can still button and not use the rubber band trick. Thank goodness I get to wear scrubs for work and be comfy. We also found out that we will be getting an AWESOME CHRISTMAS PRESENT, we get to find out the sex of the baby on Dec 22nd. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! Another positive note is that the heartburn has calmed down, at least for now, so food and sleeping actually laying down is enjoyable again. Thanks for all your tips and to good meds!!!

Help

So I think I may have cursed myself when I said I had been lucky and not very sick. It is 2:10 a.m and I can't sleep. For the last week and especially the last few days, I have had heartburn like you wouldn't believe. I have tried several meds and thought I found the right one today, but no. Because of this, I don't sleep well; I have to sleep sitting up which gets really old really fast, and then when I do actually get some sleep I wake up with every muscle in my neck and back screaming at me. I've tried to be careful of what, when, and how much I eat, but with little success. So all of those out there who know what I am talking about... HELP!!! If you have any advise PLEASE SEND IT MY WAY. My doc said that if none of the otc drugs work, he has some stuff but it doesn't taste too good. Help!
