23 weeks

So what a couple of weeks! Sam went out of town on a backpacking trip with his dad and somehow I cried at the drop of a hat while he was gone. He's been out of town without me before but this time the hormones had their way with me and I thought I was going to die without him, apparently. He had fun though, which I'm so glad about. Next time he goes will just have to be when I'm not pregnant.

Also we have had the introduction of heartburn! Hooray! I've actually never had heartburn before so it took me awhile to realize what was going on. Also my heartburn feels like my esophagus is uncomfortably full of ice water, which is not exactly what I had heard about the condition. Still, tums help so that's cool.

I finally gained some weight! At my 14 and 18 week appointments, I had lost weight, which is probably not what is supposed to happen during pregnancy. But finally, last week, I have gained 6 pounds! I'm so proud!

I'm trying to think of something to report that isn't baby related and I'm coming up with nothing.... I imagine this will be a familiar feeling in the coming years.
