It's a Foot!

So, as promised, here is the picture of the baby's foot. For those of you who know what Ralph's foot looks like, please look at this and tell me I'm wrong...lol. Anyways, I went to the mid-wife yesterday. We are both doing well. Baby's heartbeat is 154. I do not have gestational diabetes (THANK GOODNES!!) BUT I am a bit on the anemic side so I either have to eat more iron rich foods or take iron supplements. Being a bit anemic is nothing new to me. I have been that way for about 5 years now so I was not surprised. I am also taking ginger root capsules for my morning sickness. It seems to actually work except for always burping up ginger. I hate ginger so it is almost better for me to NOT take the ginger root because it makes me sick to taste ginger. Oh well. I guess I can't win.

By the way, if you are pregnant and you have MAJOR heartburn/indigestion and you are taking a ton of tums a day, STOP. Change to Zantac 75. It is AMAZING. I went from taking the full dose of tums you can take in a day to take a zantac in the morning and at night and I am heartburn free. However, check with your doctor first before you take it. Mine says it's alright to take, yours might have a different opinion.

Life is alright for us. We are trying to make it by. I just enrolled in my last course of my college career online so that is a relief. Now I just have to have patience and study. Haha...yeah right.

One thing I am excited about that is coming up is that I am going to watch a taping of America's Got Talent in Portland with some friends on March 17th. I can't wait! I'm SUPER excited. I'll tell you all about the experience (since I can't bring a camera or even a cell phone into the studio). Anyways, that's life!
