My book says that women with heartburn are more likely to give birth to babies with a full head of hair. If this is true, then I'm growing Rapunzel. Holy MOTHER!!! It's like nothing I've experienced before. It feels as if, not only my heart, but my entire upper respiratory system has been set ablaze. Sheer misery.
Now here's the ironic part. A few nights ago for dinner I wolfed down 1 chicken breast, a bit of corn and some mashed potatoes. I then spent the entire night sitting upright in bed shooting flames out my mouth. Seriously. From potatoes! The following night it was a turkey sandwich for supper and the same nagging heartburn a few hours later. I swear, we could have roasted marshmallows in my chest cavity. But get this... last night -- supreme pizza with cheese sticks washed down with Dr. Pepper and 3 chocolate chip cookies (don't you judge me) and NOTHING. NADA. It was practically the ice age in my body. WTF?!
So here's my theory. Eleanor's just making her preferences known early. Healthy chicken breast? Lean turkey? Nourishing corn on the cob? COMPLETE CRAP. Give the child a pizza and she's happy as a lark. This may be the first indication that she's actually my child! I mean, besides the fact we share a circulatory system.

I feel ya! With Kaelyn I could drink water and get heartburn. Triple cheese cony with chili, onions, & mustard? NADA! She still likes hotdogs and I have to hold her under the faucetto get her to drink water... she was also born with little more than peach fuzz... go figure!
ReplyDeleteThere are Rx that help, but I lived on Mylanta! I hope something helps you! :love:
hahahahaha I have it bad too! I am cracking up at the rupunzel comment! I discovered a small glass of milk kills it! I can drink glass after glass of water and nothing, but milk puts out the fire!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your theory :)
ReplyDeleteyour blog always cracks me up. I was thinking of you today and hope you and the little misses are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI got heartburn all the time when I was pregnant and still do! However, my daughter was not born with a ton of hair! So that is a myth, my dear :) I, like some of the other ladies here, would get heartburn just looking at a glass of water! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am so unbelievably happy for you and your pregnancy. I hope one day to join you on the pregnancy front! Keep updating us with the good news. I don't comment hardly ever but I do still read your blog and keep up with you :)
