Post-Pregnancy Thoughts...

So, last night I was lying in bed thinking how nice it was not to have night-time symptoms of pregnancy...

There is an old wives' tale that states that if you experience heartburn during pregnancy this means you will bear a child with considerable amounts of hair.

Well, while pregnant with Avery I did experience heartburn that an occasional Tums would cure. I eventually was able to pin-point the culprit....chocolate...yes it was as bad as one would think it was having to avoid it!

Nonetheless Avery came out with hair. Styled in a fashionable mohawk to be exact. It was dark and adorable.

Now onto the next pregnancy... heartburn was an understatement. Heartburn was a constant. Chugging from the Maalox bottle was not an unusual midnight "snack" by the end of 9 months. It did not matter what I ate, and Tums did not even offer a speck of relief.

And, how did Eian come out? With a head of hair his own dad was jealous of! Now if only he will keep it!

Here are a few pix of the reasons why suffering through chocolate cravings and midnight awakenings were all worth it!!
