Another week down! Every week, I look forward to the turning of the calendar, it never gets old.
Things are about the same, although I had my first real bout of horrible heartburn on Saturday. It was what I call "vampire" heartburn, because it feels like i have a stake driven through my chest, and it goes all the way through my back. Ouch. But after about 8 Tums over a few hours, it went away. Not sure what caused it, it began in between meals. Who knows. But it has not come back, so hopefully it will not be a regular occurrence. I've never been one to have heartburn, I think I've had it twice in my life, so maybe I'm not prone to it? Please, let that be true!
We got tomorrow for our 3rd try u/s to catch one last glimpse of the critter's 4-chambered heart. I'm just looking forward to seeing her again. She's been very active lately, bouncing around. I really really really like feeling her move. I've said it once, I'll say it again, feeling critter movement is by far my favorite part of being pregnant. Love it. Never gets old.
And did you see - Dr. Edwards, pioneer of IVF, was just awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine. It is a bit sad, as he is elderly now, and in failing health and may not be able to accept this award in person, but I'm so glad he and his work are being acknowledged. His work has certainly changed my life, and am thankful every day that IVF was an option for me. Thank you, Dr. Edwards, and congratulations!
Have a good week!!

I saw that too, about Dr. Edwards. I felt some sort of personal triumph when I read it. Thank goodness for medical advances!
ReplyDeleteI heard about Dr. Edwards' Nobel Prize yesterday morning while I was in the shower (with NPR on the radio) and said out loud, "THANK YOU!!" What a gift that man has given us... Good luck with the u/s! Hope you get lots of good views.
ReplyDeleteOK, so I just posted a comment, thought it was deleted, and then posted it again. Perhaps you could not approve them both. And this one. Sorry! It's too early for me to be doing this!
ReplyDeleteI've never had heartburn - so I'm not sure I'd even know what it feels like - but does not sound like fun!
ReplyDeleteVery good news about Dr. Edwards. He helped create so many miracles, it's great he's being recognized.
I'm not the type to get heartburn, but boy did it hit hard with pg. I felt like I had a flame thrower in my chest. My ob gave me Protonix, I took it once a day and I never had heartburn again.
