Toronto or bust

The biggest news right now is that I'll be in Toronto in less than a week!!!!! I am soooooo excited!!!! I get to see my family and friends - I haven't seen them since August '09. My family and friends will finally see my belly in person, touch it, feel kicks, and laugh at my waddling (which Chris does pretty much everytime he sees me walk). I get to see how much my niece and nephews have grown and matured. I get to eat at my favourite restaurant (Spring Rolls) and other restaurants/fast food places we don't have here. I get to go shopping at stores we don't have here (Bath & Bodyworks look out!). I get to get my haircut by my usual stylist. And I'm having a baby shower!!!!! I can't wait! I love baby showers - the games, the food, the gifts, the attention. It'll be loads of fun!

On the baby front, my prenatal appointments have increased to every 2 weeks versus every 4 weeks. At my last appointment most things were looking good and progressing as they should be. I say most because my iron is on the low side so I have to take an iron supplement. Just more pills to add to my daily routine. Also, I had to get a prescription for a new heartburn medication because I was still suffering even though I was taking Ranitidine (aka Zantac). Now I take Losec once a day and I haven't had any heartburn since. Thank goodness!!!

New complaint since last post - middle and lower back pain. I guess it's from all the weight out front.

Sorry, I won't be posting anymore belly photos before my trip to Toronto. I want everyone to be somewhat surprised by the size of my belly. I will post some from where I left off when I get back though.
