Ring of Fire

I have been pretty lucky in my pregnancy. No throwing up *knock on wood,* no swelling, and until recently, no annoying heartburn. Unfortunately, I am coming to know the feeling of unquenchable fire in my throat- the lovely heartburn monster that visits many pregnant women. Now, I can't seem to get the  song, "Ring of Fire" out of my head, perfectly fitting for my feelings.

In fact, I have never really had a problem with heartburn until now, even before I was pregnant. When hearing other pregnant women explain about their heartburn, I was always curious to know how it feels to have it. Ohhh! Be careful what you wish for, indeed. My love for my baby as well as food now makes me feel the Ring of Fire - a.k.a. my esophagus burning from stomach acid.

I have heard milk helps neutralize the acid. I am almost out of milk, though, and need to spare it to put in scrambled eggs I plan on making tomorrow morning for my hubby for Father's Day. Ah, what people do for the ones we love! In my case, that makes me feel the burn because of my baby, I have nothing to put out the fire because of my husband, yet, I feel the burning love for both of these wonderful loves of my life in my heart. I'd say, in that case, it's all worth it.
