Well. I am officially past the morning sickness stage. It's really nice. I haven't been sick for a long time. This week I got back to eating healthier (we got rid of our bagels and pizza rolls) and actually making food again (much to Ben's relief).
I have been having some struggle with heartburn, but I've found a really good way to prevent it. I've heard and read a lot about lemon juice helping heartburn, but it's a lot easier to prevent than to cure. I have started trying to drink a glass of lemon water every morning and now the only time I have gotten heartburn has been on days when I didn't drink lemon in the morning.
I also have been struggling with headaches and migraines. I am not really sure what to do about that yet. I got a 74 ounce water bottle from Wal Mart (Melissa, Ben's sister, has one and I'm just following her example) and have been trying to drink one of those every day. It's helped some, but I still get a migraine about once a week.
Other than that, I'm just really excited to be able to get up and do things again. I have gotten really tired and bored of sitting around trying to entertain myself. It's nice to feel busy again. The one thing that really frustrates me is how easily I get tired out. I feel worn out just from making dinner or taking a trip to Wal Mart. The worst is dance. I have to take it a little easy at dance because I'm not supposed to let my temperature raise too high and I get worn out easily. If I do too much at dance, I feel it for the next day or two. That was a lesson I had to learn.
Last week, we heard our baby's heart beat. That was really fun. Now Ben always puts his ear down there to try to hear (but of course he can't without the special tool, he's just so silly).
The rest of life is going well. I have finals this next week and then the semester is over. I'm excited to be starting new classes, especially now that I'm not feeling sick; it will be a lot easier to go to campus for class.
