6 months down....

So, I'm six months along and little Diana is doing great! Oh, that's right, we've decided on a name for our little princess, Diana. Anyways, little Di has been moving around so much. I started to feel her tiny kicks at 14 weeks and they slowly got stronger and stronger until it got to the point that she kicks so hard i can see my belly move and jump. It's so much fun! Diana didn't like kicking for her Daddy though. Every time he'd put his hand on my belly to feel her kick she'd stop dead in her tracks or, my personal favorite, she'd start to move around REALLY SLOWLY and kick only very lightly so that he couldn't feel it, RIGHT where his hand was at. It was almost like she was teasing him. Oh man, this kid's gonna be so much fun!! She's a sarcastic little bugger already! :) But, I had a little talk with her about how much her daddy loved her and she finally gave a nice big couple of kicks for him and he was finally able to feel her move. It was an awesome moment for me because it felt like it made it that much more real for him.
Mike's been very supportive and helpful throughout my pregnancy. I've been gaining a little too much weight (Surprise, surprise...I loved to eat even BEFORE I was prego) lately, so Michael has been helping me out by getting me to start going to the gym with him again in the mornings, which I hope will help out. The last thing I want to be is a rollie-pollie new mommy. Ech! He's also been really good about giving me frequent back massages when my hellish heartburn attacks strike. Oh yeah, so, I've always had terrible acid reflux (since the age 16) and I always heard that your heartburn gets worse once you get prego and I was like, "Oh crap, how can it get any worse than it already is? I already get heartburn so bad that it comes all the way up my esophagus and causes severe stomach pain.", but apparently, it can get SO much worse. Now what happens whenever I eat anything tomato or spicy, EVEN IF it only has a trace of tomato on it or a touch of spiciness, my whole chest gets these horrible, surging, crushing pains, to the point where i can't breath and I'm in tears. So, that's where Mike comes in....he gives me hard back rubs until the pain subsides, and it actually helps a lot, since pepcid now does NOTHING to stop or even help it. Thank goodness for a loving husband!!
Other than the over-weight gain and massive heartburn attacks, all has been going well in this pregnancy, *knock on wood*. We'll try to keep everyone better updated as time goes on. Only 16 weeks left to go! :)
