Because it's been a while!

Because I've been stressed

Because I've been busy   

And

Because I've been lazy tired

Baby Beckman or "Mini Mel" as Mark likes to call her is doing great!

She's starting to look  like a real person!

Being pregnant is not a glamorous thing. I am a bit in awe of people who choose to do this multiple times. It's been five and a half months and at this point going through this once seems like enough!

I pee all the time! OK, I've always had to pee all the time so this isn't much different but now it seems to be with much more urgency. I feel like I should carry my own personal porta potty with me.

I also have been tootin' like a choo choo train. What, you think I am going to sugar coat things? Heck no! If I have to deal with it you can to if you decide to read my blog ; )

It's a good thing Mark is used to my flatulence. We surpassed the "honeymoon" phase long before we were married.

I also had my first bout of heartburn.

I proceeded to take some Pepto Bismol to ease the pain. Of course after I took  said indigestion relief I found out that was NOT one of antacids ok'd for usage during pregnancy. Ugh! So many rules to follow!

I guess I will have to stock up on Tums and Rolaids so as to harm my baby with the dreaded bismuth subsalicylate.

I am off to lie in bed to eat Cheetos and watch "The Real Housewives of New York" so until next time...!
