I will never have chili again....well for the next 6.5 months.


Okay, so I had one bowl of chili last night with the usual cheese and crackers. Two hours later, I have heartburn so bad that I think this is the end. I mean I can't breath, stand up, or even think about putting together a sentence. It was terrible! I decided about 11:30 to go to the ER(worried as the pain moved down into my stomach area). While at the ER, baby got the royal treatment, two sonograms and lots of attention. I got to see baby moving around and watch the heartbeat. I can't get enough...it is so cool to watch a life grow inside of you.
All this sonogram studying has brought me to some realizations. This baby may be a Broadway dancer or a serious sports star. Every time I see sonogram images this kid is rocking and rolling all over the place(spirit fingers, dance line kicks--the whole nine yards). As the baby grows this will inevitably become more of an issue. My daughter would kick so hard I would literally give a shout and jump a foot. I saw a google image that I fear might be my future, as I am sure this child will be much more talented with the kicking than my daughter. The image at the top of this post is burned into my brain, as I invision this child trying to kick its way out.
