A reality of pregnancy

The post about some fun things pregnancy related was uplifting. Eventually though, a little more of the "other" reality of pregnancy needs some face time.

Heart burn and acid reflux. It started early this time. So while Tums are a major part of my diet, orange juice is not. I admit though, no one messes with my sausage pizza. They should. I won't let them. I just pop a bottle of these puppies and I'm good...until I spend the rest of the evening burping up Tropical Tum flavor. That's kind of gross. Burping is also a part of pregnancy.
I am super thankful for the heating pad. sciatica is also a pregnancy thing I am working with. Physical therapy though has taken care of the worse of it. A good friend is also super sweet that she made me a heart shaped heating bag of rice I can keep on my neck for tension head aches.


I'm normally addicted to chap stick but this isn't so much for my lips. Its for my nose. The newly thinned nasal tissue means a lot of dryness and cracking and bleeding. I know, not nearly as fun as maternity skinny jeans.

Sneakers. Yeah, not nearly as cool as rhinestone covered flip flops either. Might I also mention you can't wear sneakers with skinny jeans unless you are a teenage wearing DC brand sneakers untied.

I can't do that.
