Just A Growin

24 weeks to go!! Yay! Everything has been going smoothly. I was unable to post a pic in photobucket tonight due to the computer I am on.. so here is the most recent pic. I know that it is harder to see my growth when it isn't next to the previous pic.. but this is all you get for now. I definitely think I am growing. My mom said "Wow. You look pregnant today". I loved it needless to say!



Symptoms wise.. heartburn continues. That was a no brainer. I knew I would have it, no biggy. At the least I think I can handle a little burning esophagus and stomach. I have some prevacid that I got for free that I will soon start taking. I got it from my PCP a while ago to try, I just figured that I would wait till I was preggo because I could only imagine that that's when I would need it most. I am still holding off until it is close to unbearable. Its funny, my stomach isn't that big, yet when I sit up it puts alot of pressure on my stomach and esophagus and up comes the acid.
Next.. my boobs are finally growing! Yay! I have now reached C status. I have never had the luxury to be in the C status before and I gotta say.. I am loving it. I wonder how huge they will get when they are engorged with milk.. maybe D status?! On the subject of boobs... well this picture says it best.



You can thank Katie Mo for that wonderful illustration. :) That illustration had a couple more fun pictures with it.. hopefully I will be able to find a reason to post those soon.

Also, headaches have become more of an issue. Holy cow. Sometimes I think my head is going to fall off. Last weekend I even called the doctor because I had a headache for 3 days strait.. with no relief. I would go to bed with a headache and then wake up with one. 1000mg of tylenol could knock the pounding to a dull knock... but still.. crap! The doctor said that the only symptom in pregnancy that causes headaches was preeclampsia.. and that was highly unlikely at my stage in pregnancy (which I completely knew and didn't think that was the issue). I had just been told that if you have a headache for several days you should notify your doctor. So I did.. and it was dumb. He told me to go to the ER since I had a headache for so many days without relief. I said "Ok, thanks". Then.. I went on with my day. Really?! I am not going to go to the ER for a stupid headache. That seems a bit excessive doesn't it. I might as well be going to the hospital because I have vaginal discharge. C'mon.. lets be real. So I started to drink 1 cup of tea a day. I figured that excedrine migraine has caffeine in it.. so it must help a little. It is amazing. Technically you can have 200mg of caffeine a day and I am only drinking about 30mg. So... alls well. And I must say that the headaches have improved slightly. I quit drinking tea for 4 days and the headaches have slowly started back up. I had a mega one last night. Possibly important to note- the weather has NO IDEA what it wants to do. 60s-80s.. never know what it wants to do. Ridiculous! Oh well, I can manage.

I get to find out the sex of this baby in 2 weeks. WOW! 2 weeks is so close.. yet ages away. Please post what you think this baby is going to be, I must write it down in my pregnancy book that Katie B gave me. :)
