baby love

...at least I think.

On the phone with my sister, she asked how I was doing, and I told her I was 'good'. But what I really meant to say is that my lower back is starting to ache, especially when I lay down on my back and side, and or any other creative way at night (my china bed is really rather hard), and it aches when I walk a lot, or walk around without shoes, and I feel like I'm going to POP! And I'm only 23 weeks along, and my feet are swollen, and my hands too, and I have total acid reflux in the night and even in the middle of the day...
But I'm not complaining or anything...
Whoever said the second trimester was the easiest?...

It's all worth it though when I can lay down and I feel my baby boy move and kick.

Want us to mail you the industrial sized container of Tums from Costco? :) I had a big challenge with heartburn while pregnant and went through almost 1/2 of one before I had to switch to sugar free Tums.

You brought back some good 'ol memories of being pregnant! Enjoy it while it lasts. It won't be long before you will have your little one in your arms.

I love feeling them move inside of you...it's so amazing. I hope that you can survive the rest of your pregnancy. It is gonna suck but it's totally, 100%, completely worth it!!! PS-Make Taylor give you a back massage!

Yay for little boys! I'm sorry you are having a rough time...try a body pillow at night, it totally saves me! I can't complain to much, I have only had to deal with the swelling so far. It sucks though, but totally worth it! I love feeling the baby move to...isn't it great! Are you coming back her to have the baby?

Hang in there Jen! Take it easy, for real. I know you, and I think you push it quite a lot, so make sure you're resting well and taking care of that baby! Thanks again for a fantastic trip. Have a great time in UT! Wish I could be there!
