I've been given quite a few tips to deal with the constant headaches and heartburn. Gatorade really has seem to ward off (or at least reduce from migraine to slightly annoying) the headaches. But there seems to be no reprieve from the heartburn. 

Until my next appointment I'll do what I have been doing - pop a tums and stay awake until it goes away (a little). Unfortunately last night I ate pizza and drank gatorade. I think that was too much salt. I woke up and my hands were 2 x's their normal size. It was so weird feeling. 

I guess at least now my engagement ring won't fall off - ha!

I live in a duplex, they call them Twindominiums in Shorewood, but I think that's ridiculous. The house is very old, and "acts" like it.  I live in the upper.

George has landed safely in Vermont and is on his way back to New York. I don't realize how much I miss him, until he's here and gone again. We went to the Muppets last night (the only thing we did for "fun" while he was here for  the week. 

He came to visit during the worst (or best in my perspective) week of the year, the week before finals. It was so nice to have someone here to help with carrying groceries, taking out the garbage and bringing me to school. He saved me from a nervous breakdown I'm pretty sure.  We went to Shiraz (on Oakland Ave) before the movie and it was fantastic. The movie was great too. It was so nice to spend that time together.

We accomplished a lot. The nursery furniture was delivered, we made another trip to Good Will, George carried the tubs-o-clothes I won't fit into for a few months up to the attack, and we bought a single bed for "visitors." Since George is 1100 miles away and I'm working until May in Milwaukee, we have to prepare for many scenarios. 

I had a dental cleaning a couple weeks ago and everything was fine. It was great in fact. But in the past couple days my gums have been bleeding out of control for no reason. It's gross. The taste of blood reminds me of my "broken nose, so let's break it again surgery" in high school. YUCK. Stop it gums. 

It's official little George has a Twitter account. I will be tweeting his updates @GeorgeMP4 until he learns how to type for himself ;)

Yep - that's what my doctor told me today. Gee thanks. 

Apparently I put on 7 pounds in the last month. I guess some of this can be attributed to not walking 2.5 miles to and from work everyday (it's too darn cold outside), Thanksgiving and oh I have a baby doubling in size every two weeks?

I guess in the first 16 weeks I only gained 5 pounds. So, yes I can see that 7 is a bit overdoing it.

So, starting tomorrow it's yoga everyday. I don't have a gym membership, nor a horse. So that's all you're getting out of me doc. Oh and maybe I'll stop eating burgers and chicken everyday :(  This leaves me with cereal since there's nothing else I really like to eat. 

I really wish I could have a medium rare steak, with drippy yolk eggs and giant glass of wine. Soon enough :)
