So close to Friday

[mishka29]

So I'm usually a coke a day person. But after watching Supersize Me last week I've decided to cut out the coke...for a bit lol

First thing I've noticed is crazy heart burn.

Does this seem odd?

No idea mishka29. I went from a coke a day to a coke a week to no coke at all and didn't experience any heartburn, but I never had heartburn at all before pregnancy. Hope it goes away soon!

Road construction site did something really bad to the electricity lines & a quarter of town has been out of power for 2+ hours, including my house. Of course I'm supposed to bake birthday cake for DH today & had the batter all mixed up when the power blew.

Now we're at my ILs house (they're both at work) for lunch & using their oven. Hoping the power is back on so we can go home for nap without it being super hot.

mishka29 that seems odd but maybe it's part of the "withdrawal"?? Or are you drinking something else instead like coffee or sparkling water that could be causing the hb?
lilyelayne oh no. Hope the cake turns out!

Sing was good but I didn't like it as much as Trolls or Storks. The girls loved it though so that's what matters. Today we cleaned all morning and my sister and nephew are visiting again now!

OMG that movie makes me angry. So much malarkey. A Coke a day habit is probably not a bad one to shake though lots of calories. I am currently a Dr pepper a day gal myself, in part from exhaustion in part I found a super sale and now have a ton to clear from the house before we move . Sorry about the heart but though. Theoretically you hear carbonation makes heartburn worse but when I was pregnant the fix seemed to help so you don't sound crazy to me. Did you go to straight water?

Re: my coke problem lol

I don't drink coffee or tea or anything with caffeine. I'm slowly trying to drink more water. I manage about 2 cups of water

Someone suggested today that maybe my stomach is used to a certain amount of acid and now it's not getting it maybe it's over producing. Sounded good to me anyway! Lol.

The painful withdrawal continues.

mishka29 that stinks about the heartburn. I hope it goes away soon.

It's been a struggle getting V to bed lately. He just fights it and delays, and wants to snuggle with me till he falls asleep. I miss the easy bedtimes..

A friend recommended The Happiest Toddler on the Block. Has anyone ever here read it?

[dreemkin]

I feel like we're missing a lot of regs lately 😔

mishka29 IMHO one a day shouldn't be that big of change on your body. But it's always a good thing to drink more water. I never used to much either but since I have, I notice a big difference now if I don't. It has to be ice water for me or it's a no way, no how!

[lilyelayne]

kartish haven't read that book, but if it helps several of my friends with kids our age are going through the same thing.

[dreemkin]

kartish no I haven't read it. Hopefully if you stick to your normal schedule, V will get back into it!

Yeah this is where I am at. Not a bad habit but also not a bad thing to kick either if that makes sense.

H and DS are going to the children's museum tomorrow to meet Daniel Tiger. I'm spending the morning at the semiannual planning meeting for a group I'm in. Wish I was going with them.

kartish we have similar bedtime struggles here. Plus wanting to keep playing. I keep reminding myself that he'll outgrow it and I'll miss the snuggles. The bedtime fight might be forever, though in other forms.

[kartish]

seamonster I do enjoy the snuggles cause it's the only time he is wanting to cuddle, but when our bedtime has gone from 15 minutes to over an hour, it just feels like I'm wrong.

Same here in time. I'm hoping it's a phase. Maybe we need to sleep train again?
