29 Weeks!

I'm one week late on this post but I figure it's better than never. I'm now 29 weeks along and time is still flying by. We have not done anything to prepare for the new baby. We don't have a name, still have Emery in the crib and still need to trade in my car before my due date gets here. I'm hoping to make some progress on the above to do items in the next 3 weeks, but no promises here.

Overall, I am feeling pretty good. I haven't gained as much weight this pregnancy but I do feel like everything I have gained is in my tummy. I have been able to manage my acid reflux by eating raw almonds nightly which has been nice.

However, I finally had my 2nd life experience with HEARTBURN over the weekend. It was horrible. I woke up at 6a with acid reflux and was up for about an hour. I went back to sleep and when I got up at 9a for the day my chest felt like it was on fire! I was miserable but I didn't want to ruin the plans for the day so we still went to Murray Park. We left the park around 2p because I had lasted as long as I could. We stoppped to pick up some Prilosec and Mylanta. I remember seeing my Great Grandma drinking Mylanta straight out of the bottle and I started doing the same thing. I was in so much pain I finally went to Instacare. I was pretty sure they couldn't do anything but I was miserable and it had been 5+ hours. The Dr. walked into the room and said, "so you are 7 months pregnant and have heartburn. What would you like me to do about it?" Not exactly the response I was looking for.

Luckily, I went home and was able to take a nap and woke up feeling better. The heartburn came back later that night but I've been keeping up on Prilosec and raw almonds and I've been fine since. I hope I am able to manage the heartburn because it is horrible.

4th of July Festivities

We went to Murray Park on Saturday to enjoy the 4th of July festivities. Before we left, Emery had to go potty - she took it upon herself to grab her Cinderella book so she had some light reading to keep her busy while she did her business.
We had a good day at Murray Park. We spent the majority of the time sitting down and enjoying the nice weather and some good food at the festivities. We all know I'm about food and people watching and Emery and my Mom like to do the same thing, We've also rubbed off on Ivan a bit so he enjoys the food and people watching right along with us.

The one activity that Emery wanted to do was the bouncy house. When it was finally her turn to get it, she didn't want to go because there were other kids in the bouncy house. Luckily, we stuck with it and calmed her fears. With Makayla by her side, she jumped in and had a great time. As soon as she got out, she wanted more and more. The girls played in the jumpy house another 2 times before we headed home for naps and the opportunity to get out of the heat.
