Jami is Hunk of Burning Something

So the Husband is laughing at me right now. Why? Because in describing the heartburn I am currently experiencing, I used the word "legendary" and explained that "this is the kind of heartburn they write songs about". You know, if they wrote songs about heartburn. But honestly, it's not even heartburn, it's torso-burn. I feel it in my hips and shoulders. I have never in my life had heartburn this bad. I could power a small village. And the thing is, it's "just part of pregnancy". Do you KNOW all the "little side effects" of pregnancy? Here are the bazillion or so symptoms of pregnancy women experience some or all of:

• nausea
• heartburn
• sleeplessness
• fatigue
• cravings
• aversions (normal foods/smells making you ill)
• headaches
• cramps
• increase mucus
• congestion
• constipation
• diarrhea (yes, both)
• flatulence
• high blood pressure
• increased urination
• round ligament pain
• increased sensitivity to smells
• dry skin
• acne
• breast pain
• back pain
• ringing in ears
• water retention
• nightmares
• bloating
• That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more.

Seriously - all this and we choose to get pregnant (mostly)?? And you can't even drink when you're experiencing all of this? Of course, these symptoms only last the 40 weeks . . .
