19 weeks, 5 days

The countdown is getting closer and we are almost there! 3 more days until we find out the gender of our baby and get to see him or her again in our second ultrasound!

Two New Symptoms:

I have two new pregnancy symptoms to share. The heartburn that I thought I was going to be blessed to avoid has arrived! For the past week and a half I have had heartburn every day, beginning around mid-afternoon. Thankfully it has not been bad enough to deter me from eating the foods I want. As a food-lover it would take a lot for me to change my mind on something I want to eat. There have been two times that my heartburn was pretty bad, but I am going to try to avoid the Tums. I have not had any medication so far in my pregnancy and I don't plan to if I can help it.

My second symptom is temperature changes. If you know me, you know I am almost always cold. If you ride with me in the winter time I am likely to melt you with the heater in my vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I love some AC during our Alabama summers, but when at home on the couch I tend to keep a blanket with me and my classroom stays a few degrees warmer than the rest of the school. This remains to be true- at least during the day; however, the past few nights I have been so hot! I guess they are somewhat akin to hot flashes. I will be fine one minute and then practically sweating the next. Fun times!

A Sweet Gift From a Friend:

My sweet friend, Danielle, had cute shirts made for me, so I can reveal our baby news on Tuesday after our appointment. I love them!


I can't wait to find out which shirt I will be wearing!
 

Thanks, Danielle!!!
