Anxious

I'm really excited, tomorrow is a big day! Tomorrow we find out the sex of the baby!! It's been a while since I've had an ultrasound. I was getting to where I was really looking forward to them. And I don't know if I'll really get another one after this one. So I'll have to really savor this one.

Beyond that, the belly is about the same, just a little pooching out. I can definatly tell the difference in how I move around. My center of gravity is off. I guess it won't be too long and I'll be doing that pregnancy "waddle"!

Heartburn is becoming an ever constant in my life. I get it after I eat, I get it when I'm hungry, I get it at random times throughout the day. But a couple of Tums work on it pretty fast. I guess just all the pressure from my growing belly is causing it. My appetite has also been increasing. I will get hungry a couple of hours after a meal. I'll have to start packing snacks at work I guess. Hopefully this isn't the part where I put on 50 lbs. I've rather liked the idea that I've lost weight so far, if I can be careful not to gain a whole bunch for the remainder of the pregnancy, then I'll be in good shape.

The heat is really getting to me. I have never been able to handle heat too well, but it seems to get to me a bit faster now. Tonight as we were getting ready for the program to start, my seasonal asked me if I was in a bad mood or something. I appreciated his honesty. I told him I wasn't, I was just tired and not feeling well, and I really think it is because of the heat. Tonight wasn't too bad temperature-wise, but the humidity was really high. One of those days you walk outside and within minutes you are drenched in sweat. Blah. And summer just started. I'm sure it will only get worse. The good news is that I haven't gained a ton of weight, so at least I'm not huge AND having to deal with the heat. But the hottest months are still ahead, we'll see how it goes...

Until tomorrow....
