He kicks me when I'm down

Two nights ago I hung out with A and baby H. He does this new thing now where he squeals and makes all of these adorable noises... It's so cute! We gave him a bath, which was also fun and then we put him down in his crib where he proceeded to scream for 50 minutes. A is trying to get him on a better sleep schedule so I distracted her as we turned up the music and just let H wail! He eventually stopped and just went to sleep. Then his daddy, J, came home and we ate dinner. I had a veggie kabob which I think of now as my nemesis...

I woke up in the middle of the night with horrrrrific heartburn. I took pepcid, which took the edge off, but didn't really help that much... It also didn't help that Brady was wiggling and kicking like a mad man... After about 2 hours, I fell back asleep.  I woke up super hungry and made myself a bowl of cheerios and banana which were promptly returned into a nearby Ziploc bag (it was actually a 2 bag morning)... WTF!!???  I'm close to 7 months pregnant and STILL booting... This is not cool.

And on top of it I had a full day of meetings planned in the office... If I had known that I was still going to be sick like this I would've stopped working (outside of the home) a few months ago.  As much as I love what I do and the people I work with... Feeling obligated to go into the office when I feel like total crap is the worst.  I would actually pay them to not have to go... Once I'm in the office it's actually ok... it's the commuting that sucks... the 10 minute walk to the subway... the steps to the subway, waiting for he subway, taking the subway, the steps up from the subway... walking to the office, etc... Needless to say, I was a total GRUMP in the office.  I was productive, was a good little worker bee, but I was just not in the best of moods... All I wanted to do was crawl into the fetal position and cry.  Last night hubby fetched me at the office and we came home where I had some buttered noodles and went to bed by 9.

I woke up in the middle of the night with heartburn... I'm getting worried that this is turning into an every night occurrence.  I was once told that as the baby begins to take up more space in my tum, all my organs are shifted up and since I'm so small, there's very little room for any stomach acid to go, so it inevitably heads upwards, thus causing the heartburn... Ayiyi... The good news is that today I'm working from home and I was able to keep my breakfast down. 

Our application for the new apartment was approved this week so tonight we're going to sign the lease!  YAY!  Then it's a 3 day weekend... I really can't wait... Three days where I can just sleep, relax, run errands at my leisure, etc... :)
