Freedom! Sweet Freedom!!

You never really know how much pain you are in until the pain goes away. Heartburn has been a big issue with me this time around. Now I will say, I am used to having heartburn with all my pregnancies. And I am glad that is the only time I ever have heartburn. But this time around it has come very strong. The old wives tale is that if you have heartburn then your baby will be born with hair. I don't really believe it. But DANG this kid better have a lot of hair. The heart burn has been so horrible I feel like I have been overdosing on Tums. So the other night I was sleeping and at 12:30 my eyes flew open and all I felt was heartburn pain! It was excruciating!! Then I was battling it all the next day. Finally when hubby came home he said he would go get me something for it. See, it has now been approved for pregnant women to take things like Prilosec and Prevacide (however you spell those). So off he went to find me some sweet relief. I took one pill (which is supposed to last 24 hours. Within an hour I was heart burn free!! It was great! It is great!! I have not needed to take any tums for over 24 hours! That is just unheard of for me!! And I feel even better than when I thought I was having no heartburn. I have even been sleeping better at night. Well, once I finally get to sleep. But I feel great. I can't seem to thank my hubby enough because I am one of those people who will just suffer and not go get the medicine.

So to my Hubby, thank you. You are my hero!
