Cross Popcorn off The List
Waaa! Another of my favourite foods bites the dust. Since Mark is away, I thought I'd enjoy a nice bowl of popcorn and watch some mindless TV. It was a great idea at the time. Then, when I went to bed, I started feeling some heartburn so I immediately reached for the Tums - it doesn't take much for me to pop those things. Well, ten minutes later, it was back-with a vengeance. For the next two hours I had the worst heartburn episode to date. Nothing worked. Tums lasted 5 minutes, sitting up lasted 3 minutes and a glass of milk only gave me relief for about 10 minutes. I know I exceeded my daily recommended dosage of Tums in about a two hour time span. I was even on my hands and knees leaning over. Don't laugh and don't try and picture it - let's just say it was good that Mark was not there. But it did work - for about 3 minutes. Plus, it was really hard to breathe. Finally, after a few hours, it started to fade enough to lay down and sleep. So no popcorn tonight. Maybe some ice cream, but no popcorn. Maybe air popped popcorn wouldn't be so bad. Now I just need to buy an air popper.
It's raining. Usually I'd be very happy about this since this means I don't have to water the flowers and the grass will finally have a chance to grow. But with Mark away at camp, it kinda puts a damper on his time - pun intended. And I think I'm getting a cold. Deeds is so mopey and I can't even take her a walk to get her happy again - and me too. I find if I'm in a mopey mood then I go for a walk and I feel a lot better. I guess it's true that exercise makes you feel better. I never understood it before, but I believe it now. But I think it has to be the right exercise. I can't see riding the stationary bike making me feel any better, but a nice walk in the bush sure does.
Eek, I'm lopsided. The baby just shifted and the one side of my belly is farther out than the other. It looks very disturbing. At my appointment yesterday, the doctor had a hard time finding the heartbeat. Normally that would have freaked me right out but when he told me to lay down so he could find the heartbeat, the baby started kicking up a storm! He could even feel it cuz he kept trying to put the mic on the kicks. I think he was getting frustrated or concerned or something when he finally said "Where are you hiding!" I kinda laughed since the little one was rolling around so much the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat. The same thing happened during the ultrasound and she had a hard time getting a good look with all the twisting and rolling and twitching. Ah, that's better. I'm symmetrical again. But for how long!
