23 week 5 day Appointment!

We had another Dr. appointment yesterday :) Everything went great. However, the nurse was concerned again that I had some sugar in my urine (could have been from that grape jelly I had for breakfast...), but my Dr. did not seem too concerned.

I am measuring right at 24 weeks, which is great because that means I am right on target! When my Dr. was searching for the heartbeat, Baby K decided he wanted nothing to do with that. He definitely tried to kick the doppler away a couple different times, but we finally got a good read and he has a nice strong heartbeat! He's gonna be a feisty little one ;)

Last night, the indigestion kicked in, and it was bad. It probably did not help that I did not get home until after 10 and then ate something (because I am always starving). I regret eating those spaghettios. I didn't think it was ever going to go away. Anyone have any suggestions on what foods you can eat that won't cause indigestion? I need all the advice I can get! :)

Lastly...I was going to go get the dreaded H1N1 shot yesterday at our local health department, but found out that people were getting there 3 hours in advance of when the clinic actually started, therefore by 2pm (when it was supposed to start) they were already out of all the vaccines they had. Over 500 people in line, but only 330 doses? That's all they were shipped. No telling when they will get more in. I was very leary of getting the vaccine, but after speaking with my Dr., he said that the risks of not getting the vaccine are much worse than getting the vaccine. Pregnant women are more susceptible to being hospitalized and the mortality rate is really flipping high. That definitely scares the sh*t out of me at this point. I just wish they were getting more of the vaccine out there. Well, hopefully I will get it one of these days, sooner than later.

That's all I have right now. Oh, the band made it to Semi-State after Regionals last weekend! So, hopefully there will be a whole other week of practicing for State after this weekend! The kids are really working hard right now! Until next time!

What can you eat that won't cause indegestion? The answer is simple and sad: nothing. The only thing I found I could eat that didn't come back up on me during the night was a hot dog and fries from a local burger joint. It was very strange. Everything else did though. Sometimes even my Tums would come back up on me. I used to have to "release" all of my dinner before going to bed just so I wouldn't wake up choking on it at night. Pretty picture huh? Hopefully it won't be that bad for you.

Congrats on winning regionals! I hope they do even better at the next round.

I had massive heartburn when I was pregnant. Never did find anything that would get rid of it completely.

As for the H1N1 vaccine. I believe there are 2,500 walgreens that will be giving the vaccines. My store is one of them(lucky me) We should be getting the shots soon, so start calling them tomorrow. Seriously. They Should know some of the details.
