One Two Three

Three significant things happened tonight:

1. I decided to take my wedding rings off (indefinitely). This makes me extremely sad and a little depressed. Earlier this week I had "decided" I was just gonna brave it and leave them on no matter what. Then today while I was working out I looked down and realized my hands were swollen and I had sausage fingers. My rings weren't bothering me at all and didn't cause any pain but I started to worry. Then tonight I thought I would just take them off to see how hard it would be and let me tell you, it was way too hard. It took me several minutes to get each one off. It was at that point that I realized I should really keep them off, especially if my hands keep swelling. I was so determined to keep them on the whole pregnancy though! Ugh. Defeat.

My temporary wedding ring replacement. It's a fake ring I had bought many years ago that just happens to fit.

2. I have heartburn for the first time. Previously I never had heartburn but often I would feel like there was something stuck in my throat. No matter how much I ate or drank it wouldn't go away. Right now I have legit heartburn. I hope this doesn't become a normal thing and it's just once in a while.

3. Abigail got hiccups for the first time tonight!! Phil was with me too so he kinda got to feel them. When I first felt it I actually thought it was my pulse that I was feeling, but then when it clicked that maybe it was hiccups I felt my pulse and they weren't matching up. They lasted a good 5-10 minutes! It felt VERY different than what I was expecting them to feel like though. A lot more faint. Feeling things like this and all of her crazy movements has by far been the best part of pregnancy.
