Week 20 - Heartburn

I hate to complain, particularly after having a fairly uneventful pregnancy, but the heart burn sucks. It occurs in the vening. It doesn't matter what I've eaten, if anything. Nothing really works except the antacids. It just isn't fun to start this this early. I'd forgotten this part of pregnancy.

The good news is that I am feeling the baby more. Particularly feeling movements late at night when I'm finally not moving frantically around. Kevin can't really feel the baby yet. That's so annoying. Lilah has to hug the "new baby" all the time. My friend Marci calls the new baby Riva, as a Hebrwe name, per our tradition. Now I have to remember to ask what that means.
