In 9

Hey, I'm Elisa and I'm 25.
In 9 is a blog I started to follow the physical and emotional changes of my pregnancy. I'm no longer pregnant so this has become a blog about the joys (and tribulations) of being a single modern mommy.

Something Burns…Real Bad

I feel bad for all of you who regularly get heartburn. I started getting it when I got pregnant and now its a regular thing. I get woken up in the middle of the night with this pain that makes me want to weep. I asked Karen about it and she said it was normal, caused by baby pushing on everything. Well, little lady, I am NOT impressed. Last night for example, I woke up at 5 am with a pain that would not let me go back to sleep. I went to the bathroom to see what there was to help out my situation. Nothing. I went to the kitchen to find some milk. There was none. I drank back some water but I learned long ago this does nothing and it was only out of my pain-caused deliriousness that I tried it. I finally found a meal supplement. I don’t know why I thought this vanilla-flavored drink would help me. Maybe because it looks like milk and I really was desperate. It was probably the grossest thing I’d ever tasted. And of course really did nothing. An hour later I forced myself back to sleep. In the morning my aunt laughed at me for assuming that an Ensure HP would cure my heartburn and warned me not to try that very often as the high amount of protien in it would probably just make me fat. I’d heard that enough times as well, Cameron used to always tell me that if I drank his protein shakes I would gain weight. Great so I have heartburn and I’ve gained a few pounds in the process. What a fantastic start to the day. I’m trying to keep the heartburn undercontrol medicine free so I need ideas that work.

Reminder: That vanilla shit does not work.
