A salute to tums

One of the biggest issues Brook has had to deal with since becoming pregnant is her seemingly everlasting heartburn. She heard from someone that lots of heartburn during pregnancy means a hairy baby, so hopefully we are not going to have a chimpanzee for a son. Her antidote to this consistent discomfort is downing a few tums (withing the recommended dosage, of course). That being a "big" issue, we have been pretty lucky so far with this pregnancy thing. Hopefully our luck will continue after Carter is born.

In other news, I finally heard from UNLV a few days ago, once again receiving an acceptance letter. Unfortunately for them, I will have to gracefully decline their letter. U of Utah still feels right for both Brook and I and we are getting more and more excited on a daily basis. To further back up those good feelings, I heard from a tile setter I know that UNLV is basically a 4 year junior college. I am still waiting to hear from ASU, not so that I can decide where to go but more for a boost of self esteem.

Our baby registry is 99% complete, with a few odds and ends left to add. We decided, with a little help from our friends, that the blue car seat is the winner. We can always get a different cover if we have a girl later on. Carter has been more active (well, at least felt more) in the past week, probably because he is getting excited for our birthing classes to start next Thursday. It should be fun.
